A view from within the Valley The Valley of the Winds existed close to Jabba's Palace on the planet Tatooine. It was a canyon situated in between two deserts: one that was elevated and cool, and another that was lower and hot. The strong winds moved sand between these two regions throughout the day. These "sand tides" caused erosion of the canyon's surface, making it both smooth and uneven.
The Valley's unique characteristics gave Jabba the Hutt the idea for The Teeth of Tatooine.
The Valley of the Winds appeared as one of several designated areas on a planet in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided. This was before the game's servers were shut down on December 15, 2011. It is worth noting that the game referred to it as the "Valley of the Wind" (singular).
