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

Wild geese were birds which made proverbially-elusive prey. The phrase wild goose chase was a slang phrase used in the galaxy, which referred to an ultimately pointless activity which distracted someone from a desired objective. When Javis Tyrr was sent on a fruitless search at the Indigo Tower, Tahiri Veila referred to the operation as a "wild goose."
