thumb|200px|The original Sarlacc in Return of the Jedi (1983) The Sarlacc (plural Sarlacci) is a fictional creature in George Lucas's sci-fi action saga Star Wars. It first appeared in the film Return of the Jedi (1983) as a multi-tentacled alien beast whose immense, gaping maw is lined with several rows of sharp teeth, inhabiting the Great Pit of Carkoon, a hollow in the sand of the desert planet Tatooine. After the bounty hunter Boba Fett escapes from its maw in "Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land" of The Book of Boba Fett (2022) and eventually returns to retrieve his armor, the Sarlacc is killed by his partner Fennec Shand in "Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm".
In the original Return of the Jedi, the Sarlacc is depicted as a barbed gaping mouth in the desert sand with tentacles. The 1997 Special Edition of the film added computer-generated tentacles and a beak to the mouth, which has remained its canonical depiction since. Besides Return of the Jedi, the creature and others like it are featured in Star Wars literature.
