Taris

Taris is a fictional planet featured in the Star Wars universe, created by George Lucas. It is the homeworld of the Tarisian species, who are humanoid in appearance. The planet is located in the Outer Rim Territories, a region of the galaxy far from the core worlds. Taris is known for its lush, tropical landscapes, with vast forests, dense jungles, and numerous rivers and waterfalls. The planet's climate is generally warm and humid, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Taris is a significant location in the Star Wars saga, as it is the birthplace of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Luke's parents, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, were both from the planet Naboo, but they met and fell in love while on a diplomatic mission to Taris. The couple eventually returned to Naboo, where Luke was born. Taris also played a role in the Clone Wars, as it was one of the planets that rebelled against the Galactic Republic.

The planet's surface is covered in a variety of flora and fauna, including the iconic Tarisian tree, which is a massive, ancient species of tree found throughout the planet's forests. The tree is known for its strong, durable wood, which is often used for construction and crafting. Taris is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including the Tarisian beast, a large, herbivorous creature that is often used as a mount by the planet's inhabitants.

In the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Taris is further explored, with details about its history, culture, and society. The planet is often depicted as a peaceful and harmonious world, with a strong emphasis on environmental conservation and sustainability. Taris is also known for its advanced technology and engineering, with many of the planet's inhabitants being skilled craftsmen and inventors.
