==Behind the scenes==
An elephant never appears in any canonical source, though is often mentioned when describing other things in the galaxy, such as a bantha. A elephant did make a easter egg appearance in LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, in the level "Liberty on Ryloth"LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, based on the episode "Liberty on Ryloth."
Real elephants were significant in the production of the Star Wars films. In A New Hope, an Asian elephant named Mardji played the bantha. The movements of the AT-ATs seen in The Empire Strikes Back were based on footage of Mardji walking.Empire's Elephant - Classic Moments Snapshot
Elephants were also used in the sound design of the films. The sound of a TIE/LN starfighter's engines were the result of mixing cars streaking past and the trumpeting cry of an elephant.
For The Phantom Menace, the design characteristics of the Multi-Troop Transport were based on a massive elephant.
