- "I'm thinking this planet's not gonna work out as a base after all."
"Seeing that the key part of secret base is the secret location, no, it will not work out!" - ―Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus, as they dueled a pair of Inquisitors on Oosalon
Oosalon was a barren, mountainous planet located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.
Description
Oosalon[7] was a barren,[5] rocky mountainous planet[4] located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.[1] The planet had an atmosphere breathable to oxygen-breathers, such as humans. The planet was inhabited by a non-sentient creature named the tibidee.[4]
History
- "Ahhh, so that is why the great master Mace Windu has deigned to visit this backwater of a planet—to pass his sanctimonious judgment."
- ―Guattako, to Mace Windu
Mace Windu gets knocked out by Guattako's staff.
In 34 BBY,[8] Jedi Master Mace Windu was captured by the warlord Guattako's army while searching for missing children that Guattako had kidnapped. After capturing Windu, they broke his lightsaber and were planning to broadcast Windu's execution across the galaxy so the Jedi's death could inspire many new converts into his cause. However, Windu was able to use the Force to reconstruct his lightsaber. When he met with Guattako, he fought with him until he was knocked out by his staff. When Guattako was going to kill Windu, a young child shot and killed Guattako. Windu and the missing children were then rescued.[1]
Around 33 BBY,[9] Jango Fett captured the gambler Fissark Tozan in a secret gambling den on Oosalon in order to collect on the bounty on his head for owing the Crymorah Syndicate a sabacc debt. After capturing his target, Jango dropped a thermal detonator on the gambling den’s remaining patrons.[6]
Kanan and Ezra fight the Inquisitorius on Oosalon.
In 3 BBY,[10] two rebels—the Jedi Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan, Ezra Bridger—scouted Oosalon as a potential location for a rebel base. Instead, they were confronted by two Imperial Inquisitors, the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother, and engaged them in a lightsaber duel[4] on Oosalon Mesa[5] before escaping on the back of a tibidee.[4]
Behind the scenes
Oosalon first appeared unnamed in "Shroud of Darkness," the sixteenth episode of the canon animated series Star Wars Rebels second season,[4] which first aired on March 2, 2016.[11] It was later identified in the "Shroud of Darkness" episode guide trivia gallery, which confirmed that it was identified as Oosalon in the episodes script.[7]

Ethan Sacks (@ethanjsacks) on Twitter (post on June 19, 2024): "Yes, it's a months [sic] before the events of Phantom Menace. Roughly 33 BBY." (original link is obsolete) (screenshot) (Regarding the Star Wars: Jango Fett comic-book series and in response to: "so i have to know mr. sacks, when would you say this comic takes place in the overall timeline? All I've seen it narrowed down to is 'Between 40 BBY and 32 BBY' since its Valorum's time in office, did you have anything more specific in mind?")
