Quell was a planet[2] located in the far reaches of the Quell system of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. When viewed from space,[1] the world's surface was cerulean in color[3] and covered entirely by white clouds. During the Clone Wars[1] in 21 BBY,[4] a major galactic conflict fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems,[1] the Battle of Quell took place in its upper atmosphere,[5] which resulted 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," the thirteenth episode of the canon animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' first season,[1] which originally aired on January 16, 2009.[3] 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 preproduction.[5]
