Yuvern was a celestial body located in the regions known as the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the New Territories.[2] It was situated in grid square M-5 of the Standard Galactic Grid[1] and was the homeworld of[4] the sentient Yuvernian species.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Yuvern was mentioned on a map[1] created for the reference book Star Wars: Timelines and given out as a promotional poster at Celebration Anaheim[5] on May 27, 2022[6] prior to the book's release during Celebration Europe[7] of April 7 through 10, 2023.[8] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the planet Yuvern was created as part of the backstory for Cane Adiss,[9] a background character appearing in the 1983 original trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.[10] John Hazlett,[11] writing as "jSarek," submitted an entry for Adiss[9] through the StarWars.com Hyperspace feature "What's The Story?," and it was added to the site's Databank on August 31, 2006.[12]

This article treats Yuvern as one such homeworld with regard to the Yuvernian species.
