	Does anyone have additions or corrections for this list of George Lucas-created planets? (It's possible that Lucas named more of the species homeworlds, for instance.) Seen: Alderaan, Bespin, Coruscant, Dagobah, Endor, Geonosis, Hoth, Kamino, Kashyyyk, Naboo, Tatooine, Yavin 4 Dialog and screenplays: Anoat system, Ansion, Bogden, Corellia, Dantooine, Glee Anselm, Hok, Iego, Kessel, Malastare, Neimoidia, Ord Mantell, Rishi Maze, Shadda-Bi-Boran, Subterrel, Sullust, Taanab, Tund system Backstory: Iseno, Rothana, Sermeria, Uyter Names from drafts (selected): Aquilae/Aquilea, Chuba, Granicus, Kamar, Ketbrae, New Cov, Ondos, Ophuchi, Ord Padrove, Townowi, Umboo, Utapau

	The Lando System. Seriously, though: For drafts, Had Abbadon and Ogana Major. Katbrae was Kettlebrae for a while. For dialog, Moonus Mandel. "Mon Calamari" as a species name was Lucas-created (according to the OS, actually Phil Tippet-created), but I'm not sure about the decision to make that the planet name as well. In a similar category, while Toydarians are named, and the logical conclusion is that a Toydarian comes from Toydaria, the latter is never actually mentioned. -----signature----- Great midis have little midis Swimming round inside 'em And little midis have lesser midis And so ad infinitum.

	Maybe, but the Episode VI screenplay mentions 'the nearby forest moon of Endor' and then calls it either just 'Endor' or 'the forest moon'. Is it that Endor is the forest moon, with Endor being a gas giant an EU rationalization? What does the cartoon series say?

	Do the Clone Wars planets (cartoons and comics) count? Then you'd add Ilum, Muunilinst, Rattatak, Hypori (tv) Jabiim, Raxus Prime, Haruun Kal, Tibri, Brental IV, Mon Calamari, Thustra, Nivek (comics). And what about the games' worlds (like Korriban)? By the way, maybe try and check OS databank - by category: planets. And of course there is some new stuff in ROTS. -----signature----- "One of the sequels we are thinking of is the young days of Ben Kenobi".

	Listing the thousands of EU planets is a task for someone other than me, especially since the Lucas Licensing Holocron and CUSWE have theoretically already done it. What I have here is a little more manageable. The Clone Wars micro-series is its own case: it's EU, but its position is really unique. What could be added is the planets created by Ben Burtt, who's closer to Lucas than just about anyone: Biitu, Manda, Roon, etc.

	I know somewhere they mention thyferra, not sure if it counts. Its in the Rogue Squadron Books. There are a few others in there too. -----signature----- "I have a bad feeling about this." "Any help here would be hot." "May the Force be with you." "Good job." "Master, who?"

	Twi-leks are from Ryloth. In the begining of episode two, one of the council members mentions that Obi-wan and Anakin have just gotten back from Ansion, so thats dialogue. -----signature----- "Oh," the other clerk said, as if it was nothing new, "You got one of the kid's drawings." http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/21158399 - Mechanical Dreams Apprentice to Zonoma "I'd take a Yuuzhan Vong Warrior over Jacen Solo any day."

	Thyferra is one of the many, many EU worlds. (I'm not demeaning or, alternately, pushing the EU, in case anyone was going to think that.) Ansion is definitely movie-canonical and is in my list. Ryloth is in an interesting category. As the starwars.com Databank says, 'Though the names "Twi'lek" and "Ryloth" did not appear until well after Return of the Jedi (it was coined for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game in the late 1980s), it was used in Art Department and Production notes in the making of Episodes I and II.', and hence it's named in the Movies section of the Databank. So despite not being GL's coinage, it probably belongs in the 'backstory' list, or maybe a separate category? There are lots of species homeworlds that obviously exist, most of their names are EU but some may be George's or otherwise used in the movie production, and even when they're not they will never get another name than they have now. Also I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the unused draft named given to a planet in Episode III.

	From the Databank, it looks like Ando, Ithor, Mon Calamari, Rodia, and Ryloth are all used in production and listed under Movies.

	We might (as the EU has) obtain Nubia from the 'Nubian' references in Episode I. Hey, feel free to discuss other aspects of Star Wars planets on this thread.
