Townowi was a desert planet, home of the princes Oeta and Puck and their older sister Zara. It was threatened with conquest by the Galactic Empire.
Behind the scenes
Townowi only appears in the first draft of the script for Star Wars: A New Hope, replacing Aquilae.
It was the source, with slight spelling changes, of the surname of the Towani family in the films Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
