Some prayer flags on Takodana

Some prayer flags on Takodana

Prayer flags were a type of religious artifact. The Bardottans used prayer flags to cover up the Frangawl Cult's temples after the cult's practices were outlawed on the planet,[1] including in the Bardotta Capital City.[2] Prayer flags were hung across buildings in a mountainous city on Caraad.[3] On Takodana, several prayer flags were strung between the towers of Maz Kanata's Takodana Castle by deep space explorers.[4]

Behind the scenes

In the real-world, the prayer flags of Tibet are colorful cloths that traditionally promote peace, wisdom, compassion, and strength as they flow in the wind. Originating from native Tibetan religion, prayer flags are prominently used in Tibetan Buddhism,[5]
