Meteor

A meteor, also known as a shooting star, was a form of object that entered a planet's atmosphere from space. The barren moon of Rishi was known to have meteor showers rain down onto the surface. The Eye of Aldhani was a celestial event that occurred once every three years on the planet Aldhani, in which the planet was moving through a crystal belt that allowed meteors to harmlessly pass through and burn up in the planet's atmosphere.

The logo of the Meteor Cafe featured a burning meteor and the name of the eatery in Aurebesh. The planet Hoth had a lot of meteors; when the Rebel Alliance established a new secret base on the ice planet, all the meteor activity made it difficult to spot approaching starships.

While pursuing a Resistance crew who had escaped in a passenger starship after stealing the head of a New Republic protocol droid, Rapier Squadron leader Poe Dameron chased the thieves through the Lost Souls asteroid field. Due to the gases in the field, which limited sensors, Dameron nearly collided with a giant meteor.
