In May 2018, Solo: A Star Wars Story was released, the second film in this series that has its plot apart from the main trilogies.

The term Advanced universe (Engl. Expanded Universe ) be in Star Wars all licensed -Context Star Wars passed materials outside the movies. The expanded universe includes books, comic books, games, and other media that expand the stories told in the films. The expansion of the Star Wars universe began in 1978. With the takeover of the Star Wars brand by Disney in 2012, the Expanded Universe changed fundamentally. At the end of April 2014, Disney announced that the former expanded universe was no longer part of the official canon and would continue to exist independently under the collective name of Legends . The Star Wars canon now includes the movies, the series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels as well as all (with a few exceptions) all other Star Wars media that have been released and newly published since April 2014 .

The most important locations in the Star Wars universe are listed below . The focus is on movies, series, novels and video games. Places that are merely mentioned in this media are not listed unless they have a significant place in the plot of Star Wars . Significant and popular locations in the uncanonical stories are finally listed under the collective term Legends .

Basics about the Star Wars galaxy

The Star Wars galaxy has a diameter of around 100,000 light years and consists of over 400 billion stars , of which around 3.2 million are habitable planetary systems . It is inhabited by innumerable intelligent species.

The galaxy is "onion-shell-shaped" divided into several areas. Starting from the center of the galaxy, they spread out in a ring to the edge of the galaxy. The innermost region is the so-called deep core, the outermost regions are the Unknown Regions and the Wild Space.

Deep core

The innermost region is the deep core. At its center (similar to real galaxies such as the Milky Way ) is a supermassive black hole . Because of the strong gravitational distortion of hyperspace , this region has long been considered inaccessible. It was not until the time of the galactic empire that Palpatine's hyperspace pathways were found as part of the research and exploitation program.

Core worlds

The core worlds are the most densely populated area in the galaxy and are home to the richest and most influential planets in the galaxy. They form the end of numerous important trade routes and are the cultural, political, financial, technological and scientific center of the galaxy. Here the Galactic Republic was founded and the original planet of the humans is also assumed to be in the core systems.

Major planets: Coruscant , Corellia , Kuat , Hosnian Prime

Colonies

The region known as the Colonies is home to the planets that were first colonized after the core worlds. Some of them are part of important trade routes and are therefore very wealthy.

Major planets: Carida , Cato Neimoidia

Inner edge

After their colonization, this region was known only as "The Edge" for a long time, as it represented the outer limit of the known galaxy at that time. When the Galactic Republic then expanded beyond this "edge", this designation no longer made sense, but out of respect for the old name it was only specified to "inner edge".

Major planets: Onderon , Jakku

Expansion region

The expansion region is rich in raw materials. There are only a few planets in this region, but these are important because of their exports to the whole galaxy. This area is also of strategic importance as it represents the direct connection from the interior to the central edge.

Middle margin

Most of the planets in the Middle Rim are populated by natives or colonists who use most of their world for themselves. Others are only important because of their natural resources or are ignored. The rather large distance to the core caused less attention to be paid to these stars. For many who traveled towards the outer edge, the region was considered the last civilized area. However, it also struggled with the fringes of piracy that reigned in the Outer Rim.

Major planets: Naboo , Kashyyyk , Takodana , Jedha

Outer edge

The Outer Rim is the largest region in the known galaxy. For a long time, the Outer Rim was considered a legendary region full of horrors that no one went to voluntarily. Criminal organizations such as the Hutten clan, syndicates, and slave traders ruled much of this region. Even after colonizing numerous planets of the Outer Rim, the Galactic Republic had little influence here, so lawlessness often prevailed. B. slavery on many worlds as normal. The Empire had built the Death Star, among other things, to control the Outer Rim.

Major planets: Mon Cala , Kessel , Sullust , Geonosis , Mustafar , Tatooine , Savareen

Unknown regions

The unknown regions are located in the western part of the galaxy, they are mapped, but largely undiscovered. Because of the strong gravitational distortions , solar storms and other obstacles, they do not allow flight with hyperdrive.

Major planets: Ilum , Starkiller base (place of origin)

Wild space

The “wild space” borders the unknown regions, the only known region that is not really used by anyone. For the most part, it lies outside of the known galaxy map and is therefore neither mapped, nor explored, nor inhabited. However, there are a few planets that have been colonized by intelligent species.

Planets

The Star Wars canon includes the movies, the series The Clone Wars and Rebels as well as all other Star Wars media that have been released and newly published since April 2014 (with a few exceptions) . Star Wars new releases are developed in cooperation with the so-called Lucasfilm Story Group in order to maintain continuity between the individual works. Planets that are part of the plot in the official Star Wars canon are listed. The focus is on movies, series, novels and video games.

Luke Skywalker hid in self-imposed exile for six years after the destruction of his Jedi Academy by one of his students, his nephew Ben Solo , before he was found by Rey . She wanted to persuade him to return and support the resistance led by his sister Leia Organa , but he refused. After the Jedi Master Yoda appeared to him, however, he decided to support the resistance with one last action. By projecting power onto the planet Crait , he distracted his nephew and the First Order long enough to allow the resistance to escape. As a result, Luke became one with the Force on Ahch-To, whom he had not left since his arrival, and died. A year later, after her duel against Kylo Ren , Rey fled again to Ahch-To, only to go into exile after her failure, as did her master Skywalker. There she met the power of her old master, who encouraged her and handed her his sister Leia's lightsaber. To enable Rey to travel to Exegol to the Sith Citadel for the final battle, he used the force to bring his once crashed X-Wing out of the depths of the sea.

However, this idea was rejected again because the planet was too close to imperial areas. The construction of the base was later moved to Yavin IV .

Shortly after the fall of the Empire and the Battle of Jakku , Luke Skywalker trained his twin sister Leia Organa in the jungles of Ajan Kloss, in the teachings of the Jedi. Many years later - in the year 35 NSY - Leia Organa remembered this place when the resistance was looking for a new base after the defeat at the Battle of Crait . As a result, the resistance set up a hidden base in the jungle of Ajan Kloss. Hidden from enemies, the resistance on Ajan Kloss prepared for the all-important battle against Emperor Palpatine and the remains of the First Order.

The planet was known, among other things, as a center for repairs and industrial production and, during the times of the Galactic Empire, housed orbital shipyards for the Imperial fleet, as well as a research and development department that produced experimental new technologies.

Appears in:

Geonosis

The surface of this ring planet is very repellent and has huge stalagmites , in whose tower-like tips the dominant species of geonosic insectoids lives. Its rings are made up of asteroids. The Geonosians mainly specialized in the mass production of battle droids and the manufacture of many firearms, such as the sonic cannons, which are often used in attack by the clone warriors . The designs for the first Death Star come from the Geonosians and were transferred to Coruscant by Count Dooku at the beginning of the Clone Wars. Geonosians form huge stock colonies. Insectoid society is divided into different castes. The first battle of the Clone Wars was fought on Geonosis. In Attack of the Clones Anakin, Obi-Wan, R2-D2, Senator Amidala and C3PO were captured after they had discovered a Separatist droid factory. They were supposed to be executed in an arena, but were saved through the use of Jedi knights and clone troops.

Hosnian Prime

Hosnian Prime was a planet in the system of the same name. The Hosnian system was one of the core worlds of the galaxy. The planet was the seat of government of the New Republic until it was destroyed by the First Order Starkiller Base. Along with it, its four moons were also destroyed. The planet was reminiscent of Coruscant because of its high level of urbanization .

Appears in:

Hoth

Hardangerjøkulen , a plateau glacier in Norway , served as the backdrop for Hoth.

Hoth is the sixth planet in the system of the same name. It is a remote, barren, icy world that circles a bluish-white sun. It is also a constant target for meteorites from a neighboring asteroid field. Daytime temperatures rarely exceed freezing point, even in the more moderate equatorial zones, and values ​​well below are not uncommon. A third of Hoth consists of open ocean, the rest of either ice-covered continents or sea under thick ice. The planet's mighty glaciers are criss-crossed with caves and crystalline geysers break through the cold surface.

The rebel alliance had set up a base on the ice planet and secured the area with echo bases and sensors. In a battle this base was destroyed by the Empire. So-called Tauntauns are at home here, and they could be tamed and used as mounts. There are also the wampas, three meter tall creatures that are excellently camouflaged because of their white fur. Luke Skywalker was kidnapped by a wampa shortly before the Battle of Hoth.

The exterior scenes of the ice planet in The Empire Strikes Back were filmed in Finse ( Norway ).

Appears in:

Ilum

Ilum was an ice world in the unknown regions . For the Jedi this world was of particular value, especially because of its deposits of rare, high-energy Kyberkristallen that for the production of lightsabers are needed. Jedi padawans had to find a crystal for their lightsabers in the crystal caves of Ilum in order to be able to make their own lightsaber with it. The entrance to the caves was an ancient, hidden Jedi temple, which the young people used as a meeting place and meditation place before they went on the sacred search for the crystals.

After the end of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire became aware of Ilum, whose extensive cyber crystal deposits were of great value for the construction of the Death Star super laser. The Empire began a massive mining of the crystals, which over time greatly changed the surface of the planet.

A few years after the fall of the imperial regime, Ilum was used as a secret First Order base of operations. This accessed the existing quantities of cyber crystals with which the ice planet was transformed into a mobile super weapon with devastating destructive power: the Starkiller base .

Appears in:

Jakku

The Rub al-Kali desert , backdrop for Jakku.

Jakku is a desert planet, similar to Tatooine . Once the planet had lush vegetation until a major catastrophe turned the entire surface into a desolate wasteland. The last great battle between the rebels and the Empire took place on Jakku, which is why there are many wrecks of Star Destroyers and other ships lying around. The remains are sold to scrap dealers by the population. Rey also lived on the planet , who also secured her survival as a scrap collector for many years. Poe Dameron was given the last piece of the map that was supposed to reveal the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker .

Appears in:

Jedha

Wadi Rum ( Jordan ), setting for Jedha.

Jedha is a remote desert world that is permanently winter. The planet was a destination for pilgrims from across the galaxy in search of spiritual guidance from the Force. For many religions, including the Jedi, Jedha City in particular was a holy place. The researchers' opinions on Jedha differ. Some believe that the name of the Jedi comes from the name of the planet, others believe that it is exactly the other way around. It is agreed, however, that the history of Jedha and that of the Jedi was closely linked.

The Galactic Empire took over the planet and had the cyber crystals found there removed to guarantee the energy for the Death Star's main weapon. Some rebels under Saw Gerrera involved Imperial occupation forces in a skirmish, but were killed along with their base after a trial use of the Death Star. This attack severely damaged the entire planet, even if it remained intact.

Kamino

Kamino is in a system on the edge of the republic. Kamino once owned huge land masses, but after a continental glacier melt, the whole land sank in water. Later, only the stake towns of the Kaminoans who inhabited this planet protruded from the sea and formed colonies of different sizes around the planet. Kamino was not spared from the Clone Wars. The production planet of the clones was attacked by the separatists shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. The planet, which was still relatively neutral at the beginning of the crisis, finally passed over to the Republic's side due to the great destruction. The capital of Kamino is Tipoca City.

The species resident there followed the democracy that is often represented in the republic. The Kaminoans were particularly known for their highly developed production and training facilities for clone combat units, which were highly regarded throughout the galaxy. The main export of Kaminos was aimed at the delivery of clones to other system lords or warlords or sovereign systems. But these special units were not only part of the elite because of their perfect training. The clone troops also received the most modern weapons and the safest combat suits, which were manufactured by a neighboring system, Kaminos, and delivered in a trade relationship that had existed for centuries.

The Wookiees live in tree houses well above the planetary floor. After the great battle of Kashyyyk, in which the republic fought against the separatists, Order 66 was initiated, in which the clone warriors stood against their former allies and wanted to destroy all Jedi. Chewbacca and the Wookie leader Tarful took Jedi Master Yoda to an escape pod that would allow him to escape into exile in Dagobah from the clones carrying out Order 66. Most of the Wookies were enslaved and the planet was placed under a blockade by the Empire. But in the new republic this planet was repopulated. After the destruction of the second Death Star, Kashyyyk was gradually freed from the clutches of the Empire.

In addition to the local orbaks, years later, the deserted stormtrooper Jannah with company 77 settled the planet and lived there as a scrap collector. The Emperor's last pathfinder was hidden in the ruins of the Death Star .

The name Kef Bir comes from the name the Ewoks gave to their neighbor moon. The taxonomic name of the planet is IX3244-C . Originally, in the war against the Empire, the Rebel Alliance planned to use Kef Bir as a sanctuary for the rebel battle station. However, this plan was never implemented and then abandoned.

Kessel is a planet near the Outer Rim that was home to numerous spice mines. For years, the Pyke Syndicate held control of the spice mines, which smugglers and freighters used to move the goods to Coruscant. Work in the mines was characterized by slave labor, including Wookiees. Han Solo owed Jabba a lot of money to the Hutten as he had to abandon a smuggled cargo to avoid problems with the Empire. Its surface consists entirely of rocks. Han Solo also boasts of having made the Kessel Flight, a trade route through the galaxy, in less than 12 parsecs. Since this is not a time, but a route, it is still unclear how he could shorten it.

Appears in:

Kijimi

Kijimi is a mountainous planet in the Bryx sector and is known for its cold climate. It snows almost constantly on Kijimi and the temperature averages -25 degrees. The planet itself has no central government and is therefore largely an anarchy. This makes Kijimi the meeting point for smugglers, crooks and other criminals from all over the galaxy. The capital of the planet lies on a plateau of Mount Izukika; Kijimi town. In the underground of Kijimi town, the spice smugglers are up to mischief and serve the black market.

A few years after the destruction of the Starkiller Base (35 NSY), numerous children were abducted and forcibly recruited by the First Order stormtroopers on the orders of Armitage Hux and Supreme Leader Kylo Ren . During this First Order siege, Kijimi City was an occupied area. In order to illegally reprogram the droid C-3PO for a crucial translation , the resisters Rey Skywalker , Finn and Poe Dameron , who once worked as a spice smuggler on Kijimi, paid a visit to the droid smith Babu Frik . There Dameron met his former lover Zorii Bliss , who led the resistance fighters to the blacksmith's workshop. Later Kylo Ren, who was looking for the resistance, let the Knights of Ren search the city. In the middle of the city, the Supreme Leader dueled across power with the Jedi student Rey.

Not much later, Honorary General Pryde, on behalf of Emperor Palpatine, headed the Sith command ship of the Last Order towards Kijimi. Kijimi was destroyed by the super laser of the Sith star destroyer Derriphan under the command of Chesille Sabrond .

In order to further fuel the imperial war machine, the empire began to operate the Mimbanese mines under the orders of Grand Moff Tarkin and Moff Bin . For now, the Empire's stormtroopers should wipe out the Mimbanese people to get a free hand. However, the Mimabensen defended themselves against the troops stationed on their planet and thus started a war on their homeworld.

In the middle of the battlefield, the Empire set up Camp Forward as their headquarters. From there on, AT loaders and TIE fighters were also used for the war against the Mimbanese people.

Mon cala

Mon Cala , also known as Mon Calamari or Dac , is a world near the galactic core that is almost entirely made up of a single ocean. The few islands were originally inhabited by the Mon Calamari , the seas by the Quarren . However, both species are able to live both underwater and in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. With the help of the quars, the calamari managed to build huge floating cities. The special thing about it was their architecture, because the buildings and ships of Mon Calamaris were modeled on marine animals and had no corners or edges.

During the era of the Empire, the Mon Cala shipyards became the main supplier of capital ships to the Rebellion and later the New Republic.

Otherwise, apart from wet farms, it doesn't have much to see. In addition to the hot desert, there are other great dangers on Tatooine: The sand people repeatedly carry out raids.

Filming location of Mos Espa, hometown of Anakin Skywalker, northwest of the city of Tozeur in Tunisia .
Death Valley

Tatooine was the home planet of Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke Skywalker . Indigenous forms of life were the Tusken robbers and the great bantas. The bantas were often used as pack animals and mounts by the Tusken. Another intelligent species were the Jawas. Jawas are mostly scrap dealers and lived nomadically in their large sand crawler vehicles.

Prior to the Empire, Qui-Gon Jinn , Obi-Wan Kenobi , the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala and their entourage had to make an emergency landing on Tatooine because their hyperspace engines were damaged. They met the young Anakin Skywalker, a slave whom they could buy free by winning the pod race and leave the planet with him. Anakin later returned to Tatooine as a Jedi in search of his mother, Shmi Skywalker , who had to remain on the planet as a slave. However, Anakin learned that Shmi was kidnapped by Tusken robbers and taken to their camp. He saw his mother only briefly before she died of exhaustion. It was a crucial moment on Anakin's journey to the dark side.

Mos Eisley was one of the larger cities of Tatooine and housed one of Tatooine's main spaceports . She starred in Star Wars and Return of the Jedi . Luke Skywalker, the droids and Obi-Wan Kenobi first met Chewbacca and Han Solo in the local bar, Chalmun's Cantina , which was home to all kinds of species like Ithorians, Duros and Aqualish .

These holes extend hundreds of meters deep into the subterranean ocean that encompasses the entire planet. In these holes are cities that were built on the rock walls, such as the capital Pau City. The planet is inhabited by the Pau, large, long-lived humanoids, the Utai, smaller creatures that do not have such a long life, and many birds and reptiles, such as the dragon horses. On one of these, Obi-Wan Kenobi pursued General Grievous , who had conquered the planet before the attack on Coruscant and was using it as the headquarters for the separatists.

This section lists places that fall under this collective term. Some of the planets mentioned here already exist in the current canon, but have not yet achieved sufficient relevance through mere mentioning in the new media and are therefore initially listed here.

Korriban is home to many of the most dangerous and aggressive beasts in the galaxy. They are said to have been corrupted by the dark power inherent in Korriban. One of them was the tuk'ata, a wolf-like animal whose power immunity makes it a serious opponent. Tuk'ata live in packs and never attack alone. They are also drawn to power. The Valley of the Dark Lords, at the end of which there was a Sith Academy at 4000 VSY, was the burial place of the four greatest Sith Lords of Korriban: Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos, Ajunta Pall and Tulak Hord.
