Behind the scenes

"Kildo is a prankster. His design is actually based off of a magpie. He really fun and funny. He likes to play pranks and he also has a lot of trouble focusing. I have pretty crushing ADHD and so does Kildo!"

―Alyssa Wong

Kildo first appeared in The High Republic: Escape from Valo, a 2024 junior novel written by Daniel José Older and Alyssa Wong as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase III.
