The first movie in the original Star Wars trilogy (now SW4 I think) Obi Wan scares away the sand people by using the force to mimic a call ... C3PO walks across the dune sea in the Tatooine desert, a giant skeleton in the background ... after filming, the crew left the skeleton prop in the Tunisian desert ... it remains there until this day.
Both the call made by Obi Wan and the skeleton came from a Krayt Dragon. A giant lizard living in the hostile waste that is Tatooine ... they never stop growing. Like many lizards, the gigantic Krayt will swallow rocks to help grind up the food they eat ... such as whole banthas!
The smoothest of these stones found inside a Krayt Dragon are called "dragon pearls" and can be used in lieu of "force amplifying crystals" (found in the caves of Ilum) to focus and intensify the beam from a lightsaber. Often the test of a young jedi adept into knighthood is the slaying of just such a giant Krayt Dragon ...
May the force be with you if you ever come across one.
