David: Rancor Spotting

Since our website is rancorslovetoread.com, it stands to reason that we would have some interest in rancors. Everyone remembers the huge rancor that Luke dealt with in Jabba’s palace, but as I have read my way through the Expanded Universe for the past couple of years I couldn’t help but notice that rancors turn up in the books every once in a while, often in unexpected places. I have decided to keep track of these with a Rancor Spotting each time I see a reference to one. Unfortunately I am beginning my Rancor Spottings after we are already more than two years down the road in the Expanded Universe books, so I have already missed several. If you know of any good ones, send me a comment and I’ll make sure your spotting gets published in our blog.

Here is a Rancor Spotting from the book I am currently reading.

“Fun?" Skids shook his head. "Fun like having a rancor sit on your lap is fun.” - Skids, a weapons tech on a K-wing bomber in the Fifth Battle Group

Book 1 of The Black Fleet Crisis: Before the Storm by Michael P. Kube-McDowell - page 13
