Asar

Canon Legends version → Linked from 8 articles

Asar was an exceedingly bright blue dwarf star in the Ilum system, in the 7G sector of the Unknown Regions. Asar was orbited by Ilum, an airless planet further away in the system, at least four other planets, and a cloud of comets which was located roughly the same distance away from Ilum as Ilum was from Asar. On Ilum, Asar only rose every nineteen days. The sunlight from Asar was used on Ilum to open a ice-covered entrance in the Jedi Temple on the planet.

At some point prior to 34 ABY, Ilum was fitted with the Starkiller Base superweapon by the First Order and the planet eventually moved into the Starkiller Base system, where it was destroyed and collapsed into a star.
