⬢ CURATED RECORD

Kestos Minor is a small Outer Rim industrial world in the personnel file of Zev Senesca — Rogue Two, the snowspeeder who found Luke and Han after the Hoth night and died to walkers the next day.

The Empire Strikes Back never names the planet on screen. Visual dictionaries do. The dossier exists because Zev does.

First appearance: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) for Zev; world in reference
