Most of the shots of approaches to Yavin 4 from space are just repeats or copies of the Millennium Falcon approach in A New Hope, the only change being a ship replacement. The real-world location of Yavin 4 is the ruins of an ancient Mayan city at Tikal, Guatemala. Yavin 4 first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, the first installment of the Star Wars original trilogy. Īround six months after the Battle of Endor and after leaving the rebellion, Shara Bey and Kes Dameron settled down on Yavin 4 and planted the twig of a Force-sensitive tree on the moon. In the time before the Battle of Hoth, multiple battles between Alliance and Imperial forces would occur on the moon's surface. However, the Empire managed to discover the plot and also sent forces to secure them for its own purposes. Īt another point, a rebel force was sent to the moon in order to seize leftover data centers from the previous rebel occupation. Amid the Imperial occupation, Doctor Korin Aphra led his daughter, Chelli Lona Aphra, droids 0-0-0 and BT-1, and the Wookiee bounty hunter Krrsantan into a raid at the Great Temple during his search for the Ordu Aspectu. The moon was also occupied by the Empire after the rebels fled, with Imperial walkers and stormtroopers stationed around the former base. Īfter the temple was abandoned by the rebels, a Special Galaxy Reporter was sent to Yavin 4 to write a travel advertisement about the ruins. After the space battle and the related award ceremony, the rebels evacuated the base to escape any retaliatory strike by the Empire. Shortly following this, Alliance snub fighter squadrons with orders to destroy the Death Star were also launched from Yavin 4. It was from this base that Operation Fracture was dispatched to Jedha. Being enslaved by the Sith, the Massassi species would be extinct by the time the Alliance to Restore the Republic would utilize the temple during the Galactic Civil War as a base of operations against the then-dominant Galactic Empire. History įive thousand years before the Battle of Yavin, the ancient warrior race of the Massassi lived on Yavin 4 and constructed the Great Temple. The moon, however, was completely lacking in any mineral resources of significance. The moon's landmasses were covered by dense jungles and rain forests whose flora included purple-barked Massassi trees, grenade fungi, bioluminescent orchids, and climbing ferns.

The verdant world had a comfortable, temperate climate but a challenging ecosystem and dangerous predators. Notable natural formations included Massassi Valley, Skygazer Hill, and the Ferra Groves. The surface of Yavin 4 was divided into several continental masses, two of which were Starloft and Wetyin.
