Bait and Switch

Bait and Switch, also titled Tales from Maz's Castle: Chapter 1 - Bait and Switch is a work of 2016 The Force Awakens erotic fiction written by Das Flute. Set during the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, the story follows Grummgar, Kirana Promenti, and Ardanna Glee on a mission to Rakata Prime. The story was partly inspired by the canon short story, and was released on May 9, 2016. It is the first chapter of the Tales from Maz's Castle series.

Development and release
The idea for "Bait and Switch" came while author Das Flute was writing the following story, "The Perfect Trophy", as a spinoff that spiraled into a complete tale. He decided to develop Grummgar's backstory based on scant canonical information, but invented further aspects of his character including physiology and personality. Flute realized that Grummgar's status as a hunter could be incorporated into a story about rancor hunting on Rakata Prime, with references to the Rakatan Empire from the Legends video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. He also included numerous references to the 1993 film Jurassic Park, as a nod to Jurassic World director who was, at the time of writing, attached to Star Wars: Episode IX. While writing, Flute learned that (Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park) had been cast in Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, which the author said made the references all the more salient.

The story was released alongside "The Perfect Trophy" and "The Ways of the Force" for the Star Wars Erotica Forum's seventeeth anniversary on May 9, 2016.
