Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A family of Theelins lived during the High Republic Era.[1] Between around 397 BBY and 387 BBY,[2] the family was present on[1] the Expansion Region[3] planet[4] Genetia when the Evereni Ro family was attacked by townspeople as it was believed they were the cause of failing crops. During the attack, the mothers of the cousins Marda and Yana Ro killed the Theelin family and took their ship so the four could escape Genetia.[1]

In 382 BBY,[2] the cousins—now members of the Path of the Open Hand cult—discussed Yana's plans to leave the Path. When thinking of how the two had come to the group, Yana mentally recalled the two's mothers killing the Theelin family and them taking the family's ship.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Theelin family was mentioned in the 2022 young-adult novel The High Republic: Path of Deceit, written by Justina Ireland and Tessa Gratton as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase II.[5] Within the novel, the family was mentioned in a chapter written by Ireland.[6]

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The High Republic: Path of Deceit states that members of the Path of the Open Hand receive full membership at the age of fifteen, and also mentions that Marda Ro recently became a full member. As Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the events of Path of Deceit to 382 BBY, Ro must have been born around 397 BBY. The novel also establishes that Yana Ro had been considering leaving the Path for five years, meaning she must have been a member of the Path by 387 BBY. Therefore, the escape from Genetia, including the death of the Theelin family, must have taken place between 397 BBY and 387 BBY.
