Serolonis[2] or Serralonis[4] was a desert planet located in the galaxy. It was known for the sport Riot Racing, with events held at the Safa Toma Speedway on Safa Toma, where spectators could place bets.[1]
Between 19 BBY and 18 BBY,[5] it was not under the control of the recently formed Galactic Empire. At that time, Clone Force 99 members Tech, Wrecker, and Omega, as well as information broker Ciddarin Scaleback, arrived at the planet via a Star Commuter 2000 to meet Cid's droid racer, TAY-0. Cid later made a bet with the Dowutin crime lord Grini Millegi that TAY-0 would win the next race. However, Nosaurian racer Jet Venim won the race. Unable to pay, the members of the Bad Batch stepped up and instead made a new deal of paying double if they lost in the next race. With TAY-0 gone, Tech became the racer for Cid and won the race, thereby saving Cid from Millegi.[1]
Kullbee Sperado was on Serolonis when he was recruited by Saw Gerrera to join the Partisans.[4]
Description[]
Serolonis was a desert planet which featured mainly sand dunes and rocky terrain. From space, it looked like a reddish-yellow ball with patches of green. At least one settlement was on the planet, the main attraction of which was the Safa Toma Speedway, a racecourse with where people could watch Riot Racing, a sport popular on the planet.[1] By 18 BBY,[5] the world was host to various criminals, smugglers, and gamblers.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Serolonis first appeared in the Star Wars: The Bad Batch episode "Faster."[1] The planet is named after legendary Italian director Sergio Leone, and was originally created for an unfinished arc of Star Wars: The Clone Wars featuring Cad Bane and a young Boba Fett. While The Bad Batch episode's StarWars.com trivia gallery spells the planet's name as "Serolonis,"[2] the concept art gallery for the same episode renders the name as "Seralonis."[6] The planet was first mentioned as "Serralonis" in the 2016 reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide's information on the character Kullbee Sperado, but it was not until the 2024 reference book Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy that "Serralonis" was confirmed to be the same as Serolonis, as its entry for Sperado used the Serolonis spelling instead.

- ↑ 5.0 5.1 Per the reasoning here, the seventh and eighth episodes of The Bad Batch Season 2, "The Clone Conspiracy" and "Truth and Consequences," can be placed in 18 BBY. Therefore, all Season 2 episodes proceeding "The Clone Conspiracy" occur between 19 BBY, which features the end of The Bad Batch Season 1 according to Star Wars: Timelines, and 18 BBY. The Galactic Empire, the formation of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, sent Mayday's squad to Barton IV over a year prior to the events of the twelfth episode, "The Outpost." As it occurs over a year into the Imperial Era and is set shortly after the events of "Truth and Consequences," the events of "The Outpost" occur around 18 BBY. Following that logic, the ninth through eleventh episodes ("The Crossing" through "Metamorphosis") are also set around 18 BBY because they occur between the events of "Truth and Consequences" and "The Outpost." Finally, all season 2 episodes set after "The Outpost" occur shortly after its events, thereby placing those episodes around 18 BBY as well.
