Kaamui was a terrestrial planet that was the homeworld of the master of the droid Teto. At some point, Kaamui was destroyed by a war, and Teto escaped with his master aboard a starship designed to resemble the planet. At least hundreds of years later, Teto met the human Lah Kara aboard the now-abandoned ship and told her of their escape from the war on Kaamui.

Description

Kaamui was a terrestrial planet with lakes, mountains, and forests of trees.^[1]

History

An alien who became the master of the service droid Teto was born and raised on Kaamui.^[3] A war later took place on Kaamui,^[2] destroying the planet, and Teto and his master escaped on a starship designed to resemble it. The starship's rooms and corridors were reminiscent of Kaamui's lakes and forests.^[1] One corridor was filled with trees growing from water with a walkway running through the middle. Another room had a large lake with ice floating in it and barren trees on its shore, and it appeared to be surrounded by snow-covered mountains. A mansion was also located in the room.^[2] During their journey, the ship was attacked, and Teto and his master lost control of it. It was later raided many times by bandits, resulting in a statue falling and blocking off the room where Teto's master was recovering from illness in a bacta tank.^[2]

At least hundreds of years after the war,^[2] at a point long after 35 ABY,^[4] the human girl Lah Kara, a resident of^[2] the Outer Rim planet Hy Izlan,^[5] learned about Kaamui in history lessons. When Kara later encountered Teto on the now-abandoned ship, he told her of his escape from Kaamui with his master, and she remembered learning of it in her history lessons. She attempted to help save Teto's master, but learned his life support had failed years earlier.^[2]

Inhabitants

Kaamui was the homeworld of Teto's master, and sculptures of his people decorated the starship he escaped in.^[1]

Behind the scenes

Kaamui was first mentioned in "The Ninth Jedi: Child of Hope," a short film released as part of the third volume of the non-canon Star Wars: Visions series. The animated short was produced by Production IG and released on Disney+^[2] on October 29, 2025.^[6] According to director Naoyoshi Shiotani, the abandoned starship was designed to look like the planet where Teto's master was born in order to give a sense of his background. Unlike most designs in the short, the design of the abandoned starship did not use traditional Japanese elements in order to convey that it was from a distant and unfamiliar planet. Although it was an enclosed space, the starship's design was meant to give Kara a sense of wandering an unknown planet.^[3]
