Quell was a planet[2] located in the far reaches of the Quell system in the Outer Rim Territories. When viewed from space,[1] the world's surface was cerulean in color[2] and covered almost entirely by white clouds. During the Clone Wars[1] in 21 BBY,[3] a galactic conflict fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems,[1] the Battle of Quell took place in the world's upper atmosphere,[4] resulting in wreckage from both sides of the struggle plummeting towards the planet's surface.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Quell first appeared in "Jedi Crash,"[1] the thirteenth episode of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' first season, which originally aired on January 16, 2009.[5] The episode's script described the Battle of Quell as being fought in space, but it was moved to the planet's upper atmosphere for dramatic effect as the show entered pre-production.[4] The planet was first identified in the episode guide for "Jedi Crash" on StarWars.com.[2]
