[net.misc] Wordlist Info - The Definitive Star Wars Planet Names

aark (11/01/82)

To clear up the recent confusion about the word "dagobah," here are
the planets named in the Star Wars saga, and how they fit into the
story.

Tatooine: Luke Skywalker's home planet; the planet onto which Princess
	Leia dropped the droids when pursued by Darth Vader; where Luke
	met Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, and Chewbacca.

Dantooine: Princess Leia tried to convince Tarkin that the rebel base
	was located on this planet, so that he wouldn't blow up . . .

Alderaan: Princess Leia's home planet; blown up by the Death Star
	as an "example."  Han Solo ferried Obi-Wan et. al. to Alderaan
	so they could deliver the Death Star plans stored in R2D2, only
	to find it destroyed and get caught by the Death Star.

(All of the above are from "Star Wars.")

Dagobah: Yoda's planet, where Luke went to be trained in the ways of
	the Force.  (From "The Empire Strikes Back.")

You forgot Yavin, the planet around which the moon that held the
rebel base (in SW) revolved.
