Electrocrop

Electrocrops were a type of two-pronged riding crop that emitted an electrical shock when used. The jockey Arca Yroca used a red electrocrop while riding on the fathier Hoth Stuff on the Canto Bight racetrack on the planet Cantonica in 34 ABY.Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the events of Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, which includes the appearance of the electrocrop, to the same year as the Battle of Starkiller Base, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. He applied the shock to the fathier's flank, causing the creature to speed up while letting out a cry of pain. That act of cruelty was witnessed by Resistance agents Rose Tico and Finn.
==Behind the scenes==
An electrocrop first appeared in the 2017 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi and was first identified in the accompanying reference book Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo. The novelization of the film written by Jason FryStar Wars: The Last Jedi: Expanded Edition and the junior novel written by Michael KoggeStar Wars: The Last Jedi: A Junior Novel both incorrectly described Yroca as using an electro-whip to strike his fathier rather than an electrocrop.
