The Huloons were a sentient species whose anatomy included hands. During the reign of the Galactic Empire a Huloon youngling lived as a beggar on the Five Points space station. While crouched in supplication in a park on board the station, the Huloon was given a handful of credits by the criminal Jyn Erso after she stole them.[1]

Behind the scenes

In the new Star Wars canon, Huloons first appeared in the 2017 novel Rebel Rising and its audiobook adaptation, which were written by Beth Revis.[1] The species originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where they were first mentioned in the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas, which was written by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace.[3]

The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion (post by jasonfry) on the Jedi Council Forums' Literature board (December 11, 2007): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. This article treats the Huloon system as the location of one such homeworld with regard to the Huloon species.
