Canyon Dune Turn

Canon Legends version → Linked from 12 articles

The Canyon Dune Turn was a large turn that was a part of the Boonta Eve Classic podrace course located on the planet Tatooine. Tusken Raiders had been chased away from The Pinnacle, a sacred place for them, which is why they regularly shot at podracers during competitions to avenge their ancestors. During the 32 BBY race, Tusken Raiders camped out on the Canyon Dune Turn to take pot shots at podracers with their slugthrowers. While initially unsuccessful, one Tusken shot down the podracer of Teemto Pagalies during the second lap.
