Luu was a man who helped raise Sana and Phel Starros alongside the siblings' father during the Imperial Era on the Outer Rim moon Nar Shaddaa. Eventually, they and Starros' father retired to the Outer Rim planet Dalna. Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, Sana informed her cousin Aryssha about her dads' whereabouts and later remarked that she wished she had visited her fathers instead of stopping by her family's homestead on the Core Worlds planet Hosnian Prime.

Biography[]

Luu was a male individual who lived during the Imperial Era. Following the death of the human Sana Starros' mother—Jorinda^[1]—at some point by around 11 BBY,^[2] they met Starros' father. Luu then helped raise Sana and her twin brother—Phel Starros—as their second parent as the siblings^[1] grew up on^[3] the Outer Rim moon^[4] Nar Shaddaa^[1] alongside several other members of the family. Sana later left Nar Shaddaa to study at the University of Bar'leth, prompting Phel to eventually join the Galactic Empire's service after her departure—though most of his family regarded his enlistment as a betrayal.^[5] Luu and Starros' father remained on the moon for some time before eventually moving to^[1] the Outer Rim planet^[6] Dalna to retire.^[1]

During a visit to the family's homestead on^[1] the Core Worlds planet^[7] Hosnian Prime^[1] between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,^[8] Sana and her cousin Aryssha discussed the former's dads. Aryssha—who was expecting twins—indicated that she would like to raise her children alone, similar to how Sana's father had after Jorinda's passing. However, Sana reminded her cousin that Luu had helped raise her and Phel after her mother's death.^[1]

Not long after, Sana remarked that she wished she had visited her fathers instead of stopping by the homestead, unhappy with being unwittingly enlisted to help recover a family heirloom Phel had stolen from their family compound.^[9] During the endeavor, the family's matriarch, Thea Starros, was taken captive by Phel—who was by then an Imperial officer—in a skirmish on^[5] the Colonies^[7] planet Hynestia. After being taken aboard the Imperial Raider-class corvette King's Ransom, she admonished him for his actions against his family and commented that his fathers had raised him to do better.^[5]

Personality and traits[]

Sana cared for her adoptive father and was open to the idea of visiting her fathers during their retirement^[9] on Dalna.^[1] Thea respected Luu's parenting skills, indicating to Phel that his dads had brought him up better than how he had behaved when he had taken the former captive.^[5]

Behind the scenes[]

Luu was first mentioned in the first issue of the comic-book series Star Wars: Sana Starros, which was written by Justina Ireland and published by Marvel Comics^[1] on February 1, 2023.^[10]
