Utapau (Star Wars)

The fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise features multiple planets and moons. While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon Star Wars expanded universe, now rebranded Star Wars Legends.

In the theatrical Star Wars films, many settings for scenes set on these planets and moons were filmed at real-world locations on Earth.

The following list names prominent planets and moons from the Star Wars films or other canon media.

These are planets with multiple appearances in the Star Wars expanded universe, now rebranded Star Wars Legends. The accompanying works were declared non-canon by The Walt Disney Company following its 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm.

The discovery of exoplanets in the real-world universe gained pace in the early 21st century. In 2015, the US space agency NASA published an article which stated that many of the newly discovered astronomical bodies possessed scientifically confirmed properties that are similar to planets in the fictional Star Wars universe.

Kepler-452b, a rocky super-Earth-type planet, is said to be similar to the Star Wars planet Coruscant. Likewise, the planets Kepler-16b and Kepler-453b, planets discovered orbitting binary stars probably resemble the desert world Tatooine; the hot, molten worlds of Kepler-10b and Kepler-78b are comparable to the volcanic planet Mustafar; OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, a cold, remote exoplanet, is like the ice planet Hoth; and Kepler-22b, thought by scientists to be an ocean planet, is compared to the planet Kamino. There are also similarities to Alderaan (Princess Leia's home planet) and Endor (the Ewoks' forested exomoon) in the real-world universe, according to NASA.
