Tir Asleen was considered the greatest of all kingdoms on the planet of Andowyne.[1]
In the beautiful and inspiring castles that dotted the kingdom's highest hills, rulers maintained control for nearly a thousand by interacting with the Force and creating an environment in which the natives wanted to live in peace and harmony. Other buildings housed immense libraries, where sorcerers and philosophers studied side-by-side. The peace came to an end when Bavmorda rose to power by tapping into the dark side of the Force. In her conquests, Bavmorda froze Tir Alseen in stasis, sealing it off from outsiders and forcing its inhabitants into a state of suspended animation.[1]
When Willow Ufgood and Fin Raziel defeated Bavmorda, Tir Asleen was freed from its captivity, and its people were once again allowed to roam its streets. Shortly afterward, however, Tir Asleen was razed during the Cataclysm. Nothing was left standing in its place, and the entire population of the kingdom disappeared.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
On April 1, 2006, StarWars.com updated its Databank with elements from the film and its spin-off novels, indicating that Willow would be added to the Star Wars continuity. Elaborate databank entries were written which attempted to plausibly fit the film into the history of the Star Wars universe. However, two days later, it was revealed to be an April Fools' joke, and thus non-canon.[2]
