Daiyu

OnACanonArticle

"Nobody leaves this place."
―Tetha Grig[5]

Daiyu was a temperate planet[5] located in the Hocatar sector[3] of the galaxy's Expansion Region.[1] It was under the control of the Galactic Empire during its reign.[5]

Description

Daiyu was a mostly lawless world covered in urban development. Criminals sold illicit goods openly, and bounty hunters would visit the world's markets to see if they could find tips for profitable targets.[7]

History

In 9 BBY,[8] Third Sister of the Inquisitorius devised a plan to lure Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi out of hiding by learning of his relationship with Senator Bail Organa. The Third Sister had Vect Nokru and his gang kidnap Organa's daughter Leia.[9]

Behind the scenes

"…sort of Hong Kong feel to it. It's got a graffiti-ridden nightlife, and is kind of edgy. It's just got a different lane and a different feeling."
―Joby Harold, to Entertainment Weekly about Daiyu[10]

Concept art of the Daiyu marketplace

Daiyu is a planet created by writer Joby Harold for the Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi television series. It is based in part on the real-life cities Hong Kong[10] and Bangkok.[11] It was first pictured in the form of concept art in the sizzle reel for the series released on Disney+ in November, 2021.[12] Originally, there were going to be different, more expensive versions of the scene of Kenobi in the spice lab, but it was decided that a meth lab was more in reach of something writer Joby Harold and the crew could do production-wise. Harold thought it was a nice way for Kenobi to be undercover in a world foreign to him compared to his cave on Tatooine.[13]
