Arvala-7 is a remote and inhospitable planet in the Star Wars universe that gained significant attention and importance in the hit Disney+ television series The Mandalorian. The planet’s significance in the show stems from several key plot points and events that take place during the series.
The Jawas
One of the most significant aspects of Arvala-7 in The Mandalorian is the introduction of the Jawas, a mysterious and diminutive species of scavengers who inhabit the planet’s deserts. The Jawas play a critical role in the series, as they are responsible for stripping the Mandalorian’s ship, the Razor Crest, of its valuable parts.
The Mandalorian subsequently engages in a high-stakes negotiation with the Jawas, offering to trade his services in exchange for the return of his ship’s components. This negotiation leads to a thrilling action sequence, in which the Mandalorian and a group of mercenaries engage in a battle with the Jawas as they attempt to reclaim the stolen parts.
The Ugnaughts
Another key aspect of Arvala-7 in The Mandalorian is the introduction of the Ugnaughts, a short and stocky species of miners who live in the planet’s underground tunnels. The Mandalorian forms a close relationship with an Ugnaught named Kuiil, who helps him to navigate the dangers and challenges of the planet.
Kuiil plays a critical role in the series, providing the Mandalorian with valuable guidance and support as he attempts to locate and recover the bounty he has been tasked with capturing. Kuiil’s expertise in engineering and machinery also proves to be essential in repairing and maintaining the Mandalorian’s ship and equipment.
