Montross

"Like Lothal, my home planet of Chandrila is suffering at the hands of the Empire. But if we help these two worlds, what of Onderon, or Ryloth, or Montross?"
―Mon Mothma[5]

Montross[4] was a planet[6] in the binary star[2] Montross system in the Truum sector of the Mid Rim Territories.[1] By 2 BBY,[7] Montross had fallen under the control of the Galactic Empire, which established Skystrike Academy, an elite flight academy for future TIE fighter pilots, in its atmosphere.[2] The Vaathkree Trade Corridor connected Montross to the celestial bodies Contruum and Gizer.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

Montross first appeared unnamed in "The Antilles Extraction," the third episode of the canon animated series Star Wars Rebels' third season, which first aired on October 8, 2016. Montross was identified in the Databank entry for Skystrike Academy, released on October 10.

The name itself has existed since the earliest drafts of what would become Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope: in the first rough draft of May 1974, Montross was an aide to General Skywalker on Aquilae; in the second draft, Montross Holdaack was the friendly science officer on Han Solo's ship who helps Solo and Chewbacca fake a reactor overload to commandeer the ship; in the third and fourth drafts he is relegated to an adversarial role, becoming akin to Greedo in the former and an Imperial bureaucrat in charge of Mos Eisley spaceport in the latter.[8] Actor Richard LeParmentier was originally considered for that part, but the role of Montross was ultimately cut from the script, and LeParmentier received the role of Admiral Motti instead.[9]

In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the name was used in Jango Fett: Open Seasons and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, written by Haden Blackman, tie-ins to Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, as the Mandalorian Montross, voiced by Clancy Brown.

This assumes that the name "Vaathkree Trade Corridor," as used in Star Wars: Aliens of the Galaxy, applies to the canon hyperspace route depicted on the map that matches the depiction of the Star Wars Legends route with the same name in The Essential Atlas per Jason Fry (@jasoncfry.bsky.social.) on Bluesky (post on January 3, 2025): "They are indeed the same. Same galaxy, same map. In the rare event something needs to be changed, it will be discussed. (In response to: Hi @jasoncfry.bsky.social, was hoping you could confirm for Wookieepedia purposes that the hyperspace routes depicted on the Galaxy Map given out at Celebration are intended to be the same routes as in Legends. Sorry to bother, but would make our lives much easier to have it confirmed!)" (screenshot).
