==History==
In 4 ABY,The events of "Galactic Tales: Valnir and Laizhu" take place close to the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi because they occur during Landonis Balthazar Calrissian's time undercover as a Skiff Guard in Jabba's Palace. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Return of the Jedi to 4 ABY, so "Galactic Tales: Valnir and Laizhu" must take place during the same year. when the serving girl waitress Valnir Nai burst into the kitchens of Jabba's palace to speak to her friend Laizhu Bedenn, she did so in such a breathless rush that Bedenn joked she must have had a horned gekko enter her nose. In response, Nai told Bedenn about how rich Jabba's current guests were.
In 5 ABY, states that flashback events of "Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine" took place five years after the events of Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope, corresponding to 5 ABY according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. the chieftain of one tribe gave one such lizard to the former bounty hunter Boba Fett, who had earned the trust of the Tuskens.
Fett was assaulted by dreams of his past while wandering the Dune Sea, seeing visions of his youth on Kamino and his near-death within the sarlacc of the Great Pit of Carkoon. He eventually came across a Wortwood tree in the desert, from which he broke a branch to forge his own gaderffii stick. Upon returning to the tribe, the lizard exited Fett's nostril and returned to a small cage kept by the chieftain.
