Massassi trees were purple-barked[3] giant trees[1] that grew on the moon Yavin 4, forming an impenetrable rain forest that covered the moon's surface, which became home to one of the galaxy's richest and most diverse ecosystems.[3] The tree was named after Massassi,[4] warriors who built stone temples on the Yavin moon over 5000 years before the time of the Galactic Empire[5] before going extinct, and was the habitat of various animal species, including the woolamanders and the stintarils.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Massassi trees originated in Jedi Search, a Star Wars Legends novel written by Kevin J. Anderson and released in 1994. They were confirmed to be canon in the reference book Ultimate Star Wars, which was released in 2015.
