The pine was a tree that could be found in the forests of the planets^[1]^[4] Chandrila^[1] and Shili. The trees had green needles and brown bark, and vines grew up their trunks. As an infant, Jedi Ahsoka Tano and her mother Pav-ti Tano traveled through a dense forest of pines that surrounded their village while hunting kybuck.^[3]

Later, during a meeting between former Rebellion heroes Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, and Leia Organa^[1] in 7 ABY,^[5] the fresh smell of pine and cedar trees mixed with the scent of the droid BX-778's cooking within the apartment owned by Solo and Organa.^[1] The pine shared its name with the pine fern, a plant found on the Outer Rim Territories world of Koboh.^[6]

Behind the scenes[]

The pine was first mentioned in the Star Wars canon in the 2018 novel Last Shot, written by Daniel José Older,^[1] and made its first full appearance in the non-canon novel Ronin: A Visions Novel.^[7] Pines were first pictured in "Life and Death," the first episode of the animated television series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, which premiered on Disney+ on October 26, 2022.^[8] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, pine trees first appeared in the 1984 young readers' book How the Ewoks Saved the Trees: An Old Ewok Legend by James Howe.^[9] In the real world, pine trees are a genus of conifers that grow around the Northern Hemisphere.^[10]

In Ronin, large numbers of pines grew on the Outer Rim Territories planet Genbara. One such tree had a curved trunk and stood next to a teahouse. The teahouse's shopkeep poured a cup of tea for the Ronin, a former Sith warrior, which the Ronin noted had a sweet aroma that was tinged with the smell of pine. A tall pine grew on the planet Rei'izu, where it uprooted a courtyard.^[7]
