The fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise features multiple planets and moons. While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon Star Wars expanded universe, now rebranded Star Wars Legends. In the theatrical Star Wars films, many scenes set on these planets and moons were filmed on location rather than on a sound stage. For example, the resort city of Canto Bight located on the planet Cantonica, seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), was filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia. [1] The Star Wars galaxy contains several broad sub-regions. Their exact definitions fluctuated somewhat during the Legends continuity, but were later formally updated by the new canon continuity when Disney purchased Lucasfilm. The new canon map is broadly similar to the later versions of the Legends galactic map. As a general rule, most of the galaxy's wealth, power, and population are concentrated near the middle of the galactic circle – the "Core Worlds". The first major interstellar powers in the core are stated to have risen many millennia ago, gradually coalescing into the early Galactic Republic, with its capital at Coruscant. Waves of colonization (and conquest) by the Republic gradually spread outward from the Core, into the sparser systems at the galaxy's edge, such as Tatooine. Worlds of the Outer Rim are rich in raw resources but lack the population, infrastructure, or political power of the Core. Core Worlds – powerful and wealthy planets with millennia-long histories, many of them founding members of the Galactic Republic. On-screen examples include Coruscant, Corellia, Alderaan, and Hosnian Prime. The Colonies – the first colonies founded by the nascent Galactic Republic in ancient times. The name is somewhat anachronistic, as they have grown nearly as powerful as the "Core Worlds" themselves, though their histories aren't quite as long or prestigious (i.e. comparable to how the United States or Canada could be called "the colonies" of Great Britain). Mentioned by name in The Rise of Skywalker. Inner Rim – the original edge of the Galactic Republic, where expansion waves stopped for many generations. Expansion Region – nestled between the "Inner Rim" and the "Mid Rim", anachronistically named due to a new colonization wave starting again. Mid-Rim – Generally industrialized though not very important planets, but more developed than the true "frontier" in the Outer Rim. On-screen examples include Naboo and Kashyyyk. Outer Rim – a vast region including all of the last major star systems up to the galaxy's edge. As the last region that the Republic expanded into, it is relatively the least developed, a frontier more often than not exploited by the central galactic government for its resources. On-screen examples include Tatooine, Yavin, Hoth, Bespin, Endor, Geonosis, Utapau, Mustafar, and Kessel. The following list names prominent planets and moons from the Star Wars films or other canon media. Ref (s). A desert planet located in the Outer Rim with a completely white surface. Known as The Void, the planet is barely populated but is home to massive amounts of rhydonium, a scarce and volatile fuel. A barren, rocky planet in the Outer Rim. Site of a still-active reserve of Separatist droids that became known for surviving the Clone Wars. Largely oceanic planet on which Luke Skywalker has been hiding for several years, and the location of the first Jedi Temple and the Tree Library of sacred Jedi texts. Porgs, Lanai and thala-sirens are among the native species. A jungle moon which serves as a new base of operations for the Resistance. Years before, Leia and Luke were training there. Leia Organa dies here after using the last of her energy to reach out to her son through the Force. Jungle planet and home of Norra and Temmin Wexley, and a primary setting in Aftermath. Forests, mountains; home planet of Princess Leia and the House of Organa. Destroyed by the first Death Star as punishment for involvement in the Rebel Alliance and also as a demonstration of power.

Either humans adapt, or they force the planet to adapt to them. This is not normal." ― Jyn Erso and Burta, about the omnipresence of humans across the galaxy [45] Humans were a species of sentient, bipedal mammals with bilateral symmetry possibly native to the planet Coruscant. Throughout the galaxy, they constituted the culturally dominant species and were commonly encountered on most settled planets, from the bountiful planet of Naboo to the desert world of Tatooine. They were known to engage in many different pursuits, from politics to bounty hunting. Species that bore structural resemblance to humans (bipedal gait, two arms and two legs, opposable thumb) were referred to as " humanoids." Species that were very physically similar to, but still distinct from baseline humans were referred to as " near-humans." By the time of the Galactic Civil War, humans were the galaxy 's most numerous sentient species. [43] However, in total there were still more non-human sentients than humans, [46] so humans constituted a plurality rather than a majority of the galaxy's sentients. "I knew all about human anatomy, but it turns out I didn't know anything else. I didn't know what to feed her or how often, whether she was a species that needed or loathed physical touch, or what it meant when she made those awful wailing sounds." ― Lexo Sooger, on caring for his adopted human daughter [47] Examples of male and female humans. Humans were an intelligent mammalian species [2] that arguably originated on Coruscant. [44] They gave birth to live young. [23]

Explore the pivotal planets that have defined the Star Wars timeline. From Tatooine to Exegol, discover how these celestial bodies influenced the saga's iconic moments. Embark on a galactic journey through the Star Wars universe as we explore the iconic planets that have not only shaped the Star Wars timeline but also showcased groundbreaking special effects. From the desert landscapes of Tatooine to the lush forests of Endor, each planet tells a story of conflict, survival, and destiny. Famous for: The site of the first Jedi Temple. The secluded refuge of Luke Skywalker. Appeared in: Ahch-To is characterized by rugged landscapes, with rocky islands scattered across vast oceans. Its solemn and mystic ambiance fits the ancient wisdom of the first Jedi Temple. Luke Skywalker’s island is marked by ancient stone structures, surrounded by wild seas that highlight his refuge’s isolation and spiritual significance. The planet is uninhabited except for native Porgs and the ancient Caretakers. Ahch-To’s introduction adds depth to the Jedi Order’s lore, symbolizing themes of solitude, meditation, and a return to roots central to the Jedi way of life. Famous for: Serving as a base for the Resistance in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. Appeared in: Ajan Kloss, a verdant, jungle-covered planet, was chosen by the Resistance for its remote location, making it an ideal hideaway from the First Order. Dense forests and ancient ruins from the native species provide a backdrop filled with natural beauty and history. This planet played a pivotal role as a strategic point for the Resistance’s final stand against the First Order, embodying the themes of hope and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

Canonically, how many planets are there in Star Wars? I’m just curious, how many planets are there in total? Yes, including Alderaan The Galactic Republic represented about 1.3 million planets around prequel times. And the Empire controlled even more planets than that, with even more being outside the bounds of the empire, and EVEN MORE in separate galaxies. It’s just impossible to make a firm guess, considering how little of the Unknown Regions is mapped. Like most of the First Order's soldiers came from unknown region planets that had never heard of the Galactic Republic nor the Empire. Likewise there's probably human colonies in known space that were cut off when hyperspace lanes naturally shifted or decayed? I know in the Empire at War game they bring up a lot of places that were first contacted during the Empire era. Actually I remember reading that the Chiss were just evolved human settlers from rakatan times This is true yeah. I'm sorry, other what now? What separate galaxies are we talking about? In what era? To what extent? There are a couple small galaxies circling around the Star Wars galaxy, they go to one at the end of ESB, and one of the others leads an invasion in 5 ABY. There is another huge galaxy, the size of the Star Wars one that the Vong came from, but most of the beings there died. The survivors slowly made their way to the Star Wars galaxy. There is probably at least a couple more, as the Celestials quarantined the Star Wars galaxy over 100,000 years ago and presumably went elsewhere. Of its 300 billion stars, there were 40,000 settlements and 36 full-member worlds of the Republic. With around 1000 sectors that's probably close to 40,000,000 settled worlds give or take an order of magnitude Sb else said there were 3.2M inhabited planets, 1.3M represented by the republic, organized in 2,000 sectors (which would make for 650 planets per sector).. 40k planets for 1 single sector yet only 36 of them Republic member planets sounds off… considering the Empire seemingly ruled over the entire inhabited galaxy and the Empire was a successor of the Republic it makes sense to say atleast 1/3 of all inhabited planets were Republic members.. no? But you’re right that’s what Wookiepedia apparently has as info for that sector which is weird it doesn’t really all cohesively fit together sadly This is an old thread - but something about the above numbers is *definitely* off by three zeroes. The star wars galaxy and our own milky way both have around 400 billion stars in total. To claim that the Chommell sector has 300 billion stars on its own just isn't possible. ... Aaaand a quick check confirms that the Chommel sector has 300 *million* barren stars (or 0,1% of the Galaxy). Three zeroes dammit. 1,3 million Republic member worlds would mean roughly 650 per senator on average. Padme was the representative of the Chommel sector with 36 systems according to canon - but as some systems contain multiple worlds / planets it means she could have represented a hundred planets or more. The Chommell sector being in the mid-rim probably meant her population density was neither the highest nor the lowest in the galaxy - but around the average for canon.

The fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise features multiple planets and moons. While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon Star Wars expanded universe, now rebranded Star Wars Legends. In the theatrical Star Wars films, many settings for scenes set on these planets and moons were filmed at real-world locations on Earth. The following list names prominent planets and moons from the Star Wars films or other canon media. Oceanic planet on which Luke Skywalker has been hiding for six years, and the location of the first Jedi Temple. Home planet of Princess Leia and Bail Organa. Destroyed by the first Death Star as a demonstration of power. A nearly inhospitable planet used by the Empire. Desert covered planet, site of Phoenix Squadron Rebel base. Home of the spider-like Krykna. Gas planet and the location of Cloud City. The site of battles throughout the Clone Wars, notable for its "Bridge Cities". Also the site of Plo Koon's death during the Great Jedi Purge. Battle of Christophsis took place here introducing Ahsoka Tano. Home planet of Jango Fett. Habitable planet that is surrounded by a large amount of debris from many vicious wars. Formerly controlled by the Mandalorians. Homeworld of Han Solo. An industrial planet with a strong culture of training pilots. Urban world consists of a planet-wide city. Governmental center of the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire. Site of a Resistance operations base led by General Leia Organa. Swamp planet and Yoda 's residence after the fall of the Jedi. Rural planet and the former site of a Rebel base. Han Solo wins the planet in a card game and lures Princess Leia there to stop her from marrying someone else, and Luke Skywalker discovers that the infamous Nightsisters live there. Homeworld of the Force-sensitive Nightsisters, including Asajj Ventress.

In the movies, video games, and other media, we have seen many planets, space stations, and moons in the Star Wars galaxy. Coruscant Coruscant is a city-covered planet that serves as the political hub of the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire. The entire surface is covered in skyscrapers and urban sprawl, housing trillions of inhabitants. Coruscant is the galaxy's New York City or Las Vegas. It even has the huge Senate place and thousands of spaceships flying around all the time. A gorgeous planet-wide city hosting the Jedi Temple, the capital, and many interesting scenes. Too bad Hosnian Prime is just a cheap ripoff of this. The entire planet is one big city. So I wonder, what took longer to build: this planet or the Death Star? Naboo Naboo is a lush, green planet known for its beautiful landscapes and is home to both the Gungan species and a human population. Its capital city, Theed, is famous for its classical architecture and waterfalls. The planet I would live on if I were a character in the Star Wars universe. Naboo is the most beautiful planet in the Star Wars galaxy. It has a variety of landscapes, such as lush grasslands, thick jungles, and large rivers. The buildings of Theed, the capital city, look incredibly beautiful as well. The strange ancient statues partly buried underground indicate that the planet must have an interesting history. These, along with the peaceful culture and the high standard of living, make Naboo the perfect Star Wars planet. It's also significant since it's the homeworld of Palpatine and Padme Amidala. Tatooine Tatooine is a desert planet located in the Outer Rim Territories, characterized by its twin suns and harsh arid environment. It is the homeworld of Anakin and Luke Skywalker. I absolutely love this planet. Its culture and biology are honestly fascinating. The Sand People, Krayt Dragons, moisture farmers, and stuff like that make it feel real. They really help us connect to Luke, making him far more grounded. Honestly surprised this is down at 4th, as it is probably the most known planet. It was in five films after all.

From the breathtakingly beautiful planet of Naboo to endlessly deserted Jakku, from the scariest-of-all Mustafar to the exotic yet intriguing aquatic planet of Kamino, the Galaxy far away had everything beyond human imagination. It was indeed full of beautiful yet horrifying surprises. To make your intergalactic walk easier, I have listed down the planets that need to be on your to-visit list. Trust me, I am a great tour guide. So, tighten up your seatbelts, Padawans! It is going to be a long-long ride. Saying the Star Wars Galaxy was just ginormous would be an understatement. With billions of planets in different far-off regions, it would only be a dream to see them all. The Galaxy consisted of more than 3.2 billion systems, each with uncountable planets. The Star systems and the planets were further classified, based on their location, as part of the deep core, the colonies, the inner, the mid, and the outer rim territories, the expansion region, and the wild space. There were aquatic planets, desert planets, terrestrial, mountain-covered, and whatnot! If I had to choose one favorite, it would be the planet of Naboo. The scenic views, the waterfalls, the infrastructure, the aura, everything just left me awestruck. Also, it was home to our favorite, Padme Amidala. What’s there to not love about Naboo? Except for Palpatine. As we all know how big the Galaxy is, it would take me more than one lifetime to even mention all the planets in it. Even the nine lives of cats would not serve any purpose here. Anyway, you don’t need to know about all of them. So, I have narrowed down my list to these 22 intriguing planets that every Star Wars Fan must know about. Alderaan is nice. Who’d blow up Alderaan? – Chelli Lona Aphra Well, it did get blown up. The home to the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire and one of the most beautiful planets in the Galaxy, Alderaan was one of a kind. From snow-capped mountains to scenic green plains, from state-of-the-art infrastructure covered in clouds to mystic water bodies, Alderaan was a sight to behold. The planet from far away looked exactly like our Earth. The blues, the greens, and the browns depicted the glory of the planet. I just wish we shared the values of Alderaanians, too. The destruction of the peaceful Alderaan was one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the series. The remnants of destruction stood as reminders of the horrors of the Galactic Empire for the years to come. No wonder they chose Alderaan for it, for every great era has an end. Present in the Interior region, Alderaan was mostly populated by humans. It was home to artists, educationists, winemakers, and obviously to our beloved Leia Organa. If you have seen Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, you wouldn’t have missed this humongous gas giant surrounded by two moons in the middle of nowhere. Home to many different kinds of species, Bespin was not a planet exactly but a giant gas ball that you’d consider inhabitable.

But of all these immersive worlds, which one is the best? Well, that’s what we’re going to figure out. To keep things manageable, we’re only ranking planets that have shown up in the nine live-action Star Wars films so far. We’ll use a fairly loose definition of planet — any sort of natural space object with an atmosphere counts; space stations do not, no matter how many people confuse them for moons. Rankings will be based primarily on how much I, a normal-ass human, would like to live there. Being inhabited helps (having company is fun), but can also hurt (if some of those inhabitants have a penchant for eating people). Points will also be assessed for conceptual brilliance, whether or not the planet eventually gets blown up by an Imperial superweapon, and climate. 30. Mustafar (Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One) Not only is Mustafar a planet full of lava, its most famous inhabitant is Darth Vader, who seems likely to be the Galaxy’s least-inviting neighbor. (“I find your lack of lawn-care disturbing.”) What about the other inhabitants? Per Wookiepedia, “The planet’s native Mustafarian species lived in underground caves created by lava fleas as they ate through the planet’s crust, and made their armor from the heat-resistant shells of the creatures.” Oh. 29. Geonosis (Attack of the Clones) Geonosis is kept from the bottom spot by a prospering industrial economy and some innovative arena design. But everything else is pretty unpleasant, especially the Geonesians, wretched bug creatures that you almost feel bad for when the Jedi (and eventually the Empire) start slaughtering them en masse.
