Threading the needle

Legends Canon version → Linked from 3 articles

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

"Threading the needle" was an infamous move among the swoop and skyhopper racers of Beggar's Canyon in which they would successfully jump through the Stone Needle. A slight miscalculation in this move would cause certain death. Luke Skywalker was one of very few who threaded the needle and survived.
