Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Pure Sabacc was the term used to describe a hand of exactly positive or negative twenty-three in the card game sabacc. When a player achieved Pure Sabacc, they received both the hand pot and sabacc pot, and this would generally signify the end of a game. In some variations of the game, Pure Sabacc was bested by the Idiot's Array. The phrase was also slang referring to the perfection of a situation or object.

Han Solo held a Pure Sabacc when he won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian in the Cloud City Sabacc Tournament.

A related term was Pure Pazaak, which Atton Rand used as a slang term similar to Pure Sabacc.
