Shower Thoughts

Reader 👋

You ever wonder if Earth exists in the Star Wars universe? I always assumed it didn’t—after all, it’s “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” But here’s the thing: Earth actually does exist in Star Wars canon. And the way it’s connected to the galaxy we love is absolutely wild.

For starters, Earth is mentioned in the Star Tours ride as part of the “Earth System,” a hub for space travel to places like Naboo and Endor. And in Legends, things get even crazier—like the story where Han and Chewie crash-land in the Pacific Northwest and Chewie becomes… Sasquatch.

I dug deep into Earth’s bizarre place in Star Wars lore, and I can’t wait to share the details with you.👇
