Dive into the dark heart of the Star Wars galaxy with this complete lore breakdown of Nar Shaddaa, the infamous Smugglers’ Moon and capital of Hutt criminal power. This deep exploration traces Nar Shaddaa’s transformation from a once lush world inhabited by the Evocii into a planet wide urban hellscape ruled by Hutts, crime syndicates, bounty hunters, and corruption across every era of galactic history. From its role as a trade rival to Coruscant, to its fall into lawless decadence after shifting hyperlanes, to its involvement in the Jedi Civil War, the Cold War, the Clone Wars, and finally its annihilation during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, this video examines why Nar Shaddaa became the most dangerous place in the galaxy and why even Jedi feared walking its streets.
