Thousand Moons system

For other uses, see Thousand Moons.

The Thousand Moons system was located in the Circarpous sector,^[1] a part of the Slice portion of^[2] the Expansion Region.^[1] A decorative pattern of clothing incorporating both dots and various types of lines was common in the star system.^[3]

In 22 BBY,^[4] Padmé Amidala, the Galactic Republic senator of the planet Naboo, and Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Padawan tasked with Amidala's protection against would-be assassins, traveled from the galactic capital world Coruscant to Naboo aboard^[3] the freighter Jendirian Valley.^[5] During their incognito journey, the Human pair wore clothing that disguised them as refugees, with Amidala wearing a dress of a young Thousand Moons matron and Skywalker's attire including a tunic decorated with the pattern that was popular in the Thousand Moons system.^[3]

Behind the scenes

"I wouldn't call Iego/Thousand Moons an error. Thousand Moons is from the Attack of the Clones Visual Guide [sic]—Anakin and Padme [sic] wear that system's fashions while posing as refugees. I doubt they'd wear the fashions of a legendary system—that would attract attention. One's a name, the other's an appellation."
