HistoryEdit

Jubilee Wheel was an antique, ring-shaped design produced by a Mid Rim engineering consortium from Hutt-supplied (mostly scavenged) parts and owned mainly by Big Bunji. Ten degrees of wheel and two spokes were unfinished.

Although it orbited Ord Mantell, it was effectively independent, being a successful starport until the Yuuzhan Vong War brought an end to trade. It contained the Bet's Off.

It was consumed by a Yuuzhan Vong dread weapon during the First Battle of Ord Mantell.

The Jubilee wheel may have been the site of famed bounty hunter Bossk's death. Having been detained for a fight between himself and Han Solo on the station, Bossk remained detained and was still on the station during its destruction. Whether or not he actually died is questionable however, due to the appearance of a single escape pod launching right before its destruction.

Behind the scenesEdit

Daniel Wallace attempted to hint in The New Essential Guide to Droids that the Jubilee Wheel and the Wheel were the same station, acknowledging that they have been drawn as looking different.^[1] However, the latter's appearance in Star Wars: Legacy makes the connection impossible.
