Ooroo's homeworld

"I wish I could have floated in the seas of my home, one last time..."

- Ooroo

The Celegian Jedi Master Ooroo, who lived at the time of the Great Hyperspace War&mdash;a conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire&mdash;, referred to a world with seas on its surface as his home. Ooroo, who was born sometime prior to the year 5,000 BBY, floated in those seas on several occasions during his life. At some point, the Celegian Force-sensitive began his Jedi training and was schooled in the ways of the light side of the Force, eventually rising to the rank of a Jedi Master. When the Sith Empire attacked the Republic in 5,000 BBY, Ooroo and Odan-Urr, his Draethos Jedi apprentice, fought against invading Sith armies on the planet of Kirrek. During the battle, Ooroo sacrificed his life in order to defeat the enemy, and, as he lay dying on the battlefield, the Celegian expressed his wish to float in the seas of his home for the last time.

Behind the scenes
To date, Ooroo's homeworld has only been mentioned in the fourth issue of The Fall of the Sith Empire story arc of the Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi series of comic books. The issue was published on September 17, 1997 and was written by Kevin J. Anderson and penciled by Dario Carrasco, Jr.
