Bellflowers were a type of large flower that grew on trees on some planets. They tempted insects to come close, and when they were, the bellflowers trapped the insects for food.[1] In 228 BBY,[2] while the Nihil scientist Doctor Zadina Mkampa tended to saplings of the Drengir[1]—sentient[3] carnivorous plants—she thought about bellflowers and how they acted as an example of the predatory side of plant life in comparison to the common perception of them as harmless.[1]
Behind the scenes
Bellflowers were mentioned in the 2025 young-adult novel The High Republic: Into the Light, written by Claudia Gray as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[4]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 16, which features the Stormwall going down, takes place one year and a few months after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY. The events of The High Republic: Tears of the Nameless also take place in 228 BBY per the reasoning here. As The High Republic: Into the Light states its events occur after the events of Tears of the Nameless and before the Stormwall goes down, they must also take place in that year.
