- "He had a splendid voice. Could sing like the sweetest of Celestials."
- ―Lando Calrissian, on Naaruu
Celestials were a group known for their singing. During a job on Kullgroon, in 10 BBY[2] Lando Calrissian compared the singing voice of Naaruu, a individual who threatened Lando, who Lando subsequently killed and took his hide as a cape, to the sweetest of Celestials.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Celestials where introduced into canon with a mention in the 2018[3] comic Lando - Double or Nothing 2,[1] written by Rodney Barnes[4] and pencilled by Paolo Villanelli.[5] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, Celestials were first mentioned, albeit unnamed, in the 1983 novel Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu, written by L. Neil Smith.[6] Celestials were first named by Troy Denning in his 2005 novel Dark Nest I: The Joiner King.[7] In the Legends continuity, the Ones, who made their first appearance in Overlords,[8] a 2011 episode of Season Three of the TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars,[9] were identified as Celestials in the Star Wars Blog article "Galactic Architecture 101 and the History of Centerpoint Station,"[10] but no canonical connection has been made between the Ones and Celestials.

Therefore, Star Wars: Lando - Double or Nothing takes place in 10 BBY.
