From the Movies

An enigmatic waterfowl from worlds scattered across the galaxy, ducks are often referred to in a number of colorful expressions. During Queen Amidala's escape from Naboo, Captain Panaka was heard to lament the likelihood of their being hit by Trade Federation cannonades. He likened their position to being "sitting ducks."

From the Expanded Universe

When first training Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force, Obi-Wan used an analogy, explaining that even a duck must be taught how to swim. Luke's rather provincial response was, "what's a duck?"
