- "You know, your home planet is very different from mine."
- ―Sabine Wren, to Ezra Bridger
The term homeworld,[2] also spelled home world or known as home planet, was applicable to many things. "Homeworld" could in some cases refer to a habitable moon[3] or a region of space, rather than a planet.[4] Pantora, the primary moon of Orto Plutonia,[3] was the homeworld of the Pantoran species.[5]
Princess Leia Organa was raised on Alderaan
An individual's homeworld could be their place of birth. Dathomir was the homeworld of Maul and Asajj Ventress, who were both born there and called that planet their own home.[6][7] A homeworld could also mean a world on which a person was raised or otherwise significantly identified with it. The twins Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker were born in a medical facility in the Polis Massa asteroid field, but they were soon separated and were raised on the planets Alderaan and Tatooine, respectively, which became their homeworlds.[8][9] Zare Leonis came to think of Lothal as his adopted homeworld despite having been born on Uquine and not having moved to Lothal until he was fourteen years of age.[10] Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Ziro Desilijic Tiure, Greedo, and Hondo Ohnaka all had multiple homeworlds.[4][11][12] The Galactic Empire's Imperial Academy cadets were trained with an aim of removing cadets' loyalties to their homeworlds, as the Empire felt that such loyalties detracted from one's service.[13]
The term "homeworld" could also be used in the context of an organization, culture, or species. Moraband was considered the ancient homeworld of the Sith Order,[14] while Kashyyyk was the homeworld of the Wookiee species.[15] Lasan was the adopted homeworld of the Lasat species, and very few in the galaxy knew that that species' original homeworld was Lira San.[16]
