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

Japor snippets were small wood jewels carved by youngsters on the planet Tatooine and used for good luck or as love charms. They were usually made from shell halves of Japor tree nuts, and less frequently from Japor ivory wood, and carved with tribal runes.
