Today, those of us in the United States are celebrating the 4th of July, a.k.a Independence day! Along with the usual BBQ and fireworks, we always like to find a Star Wars way to celebrate this special day. So how about we all figure out which planet we would live on if we were in the Galaxy far, far away?

A creative Tumblr user by the name of "Wedge Antilles" took the time to create a map of the U.S(above) which matches each state in the United States with a Star Wars planet with similar terrain, landmarks, etc. Along with the map they created a glossary with the names of planets alongside their corresponding state:

  • Alabama - Trandosha
  • Alaska - Hoth
  • Arizona - Korriban
  • Arkansas - Thyferra
  • California - Adumar
  • Colorado - Mandalore
  • Connecticut - Alderaan
  • Delaware - Eriadu
  • Florida - Dagobah
  • Georgia - Taris
  • Hawaii - Mon Calamari
  • Idaho - Corellia
  • Illinois - Almania
  • Indiana - Moorja
  • Iowa - Taanab
  • Kansas - Lok
  • Kentucky - Umgul
  • Louisiana - Ord Mantell
  • Maine - Naboo
  • Maryland - Sluis Van
  • Massachusetts - Dathomir
  • Michigan - Kuat
  • Minnesota - Iego
  • Mississippi - Telos IV
  • Missouri - Talus
  • Montana - Wayland
  • Nebraska - Ansion
  • Nevada - Pantolomin
  • New Hampshire - Adarlon
  • New Jersey - Nar Shaddaa
  • New Mexico - Tatooine
  • New York - Coruscant
  • North Carolina - Brentaal IV
  • North Dakota - Nubia
  • Ohio - Dantooine
  • Oklahoma - Thule

Ohio is totally Dantooine

Bobby Lee said...

Dagobah!!!!

Matt Gilbert said...

Yes, because of all the "Sulfur pools, lifeless rivers, and volcanoes" found in Kansas...

I'm offended that South Carolina is the Death Star. That should definitely have been DC.

J Factor said...

What about mustafar?

I've gone from birth on Dathomir, to a short stint on Naboo, down to Dagobah for a year. Then with a 3 year stay at the Death Star, before ending up on our current planet of Fondor........ I feel like a smuggler!

BROODE said...

Born on Tatooine but now living on Kessel

Unknown said...

Yeah me too!!

Unknown said...

Mustafar should be Arizona or Texas maybe.

I live on Mandalore. I was born on Thyferra, moved to Talus, back to Thyferra, visiting my dad on Talus regularly, moving on to Kessel, back to Thyferra, and now Mandalore with visits to Wayland and Thyferra to see the family. You'd think I had family members on the Galactic Senate.
