- "We got offworld a few days later, and I swore off taking botanical advice from machines ever again."
- ―Nath Tensent
Thakwaa was a terrestrial astronomical object[4] located in the Thakwaa system within the Tunka sector of[3] the Outer Rim Territories[1] and Western Reaches,[2] positioned in grid square I-19 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The Red Isles was a location on Thakwaa, where the Rebel Alliance pilot Nath Tensent and his astromech droid T5 had to spend a night some time prior to the Battle of Endor[4] of 4 ABY.[5] For protection against flies, T5 convinced Tensent to create an ointment from plant stems, which had a side effect of causing rashes. According to Tensent, nothing interesting occurred during his time on Thakwaa, and the two departed several days later.[4]
Behind the scenes
