Brodo Asogi

Brodo Asogi was a planet that was home to a strange puddle-footed species with large eyes known as the Children of the Green Planet. It was located near the border of the Outer Rim Territories and Wild Space, south of Kalee and Huk.

It was represented by Senator Grebleips and two aides in the Galactic Senate. Grebleips funded an extragalactic expedition project shortly before the Clone Wars.

Behind the scenes
This planet received passing mention in Cloak of Deception. The author James Luceno was referring to Steven Spielberg's E.T. species, which made a cameo appearance in the Senate scene of The Phantom Menace.

On page 19 of E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet, a novel based on a story by Steven Spielberg written by William Kotzwinkle and illustrated by David Wiesner in 1985, Brodo Asogi was one of many names given to E.T.'s homeworld, along with Vomestra, Od-Di-Pa 5, Tum Lux O-Ty, and Alata Zerka&mdash;all of which meant "Green Planet" in one language or another.
