A star system was centered around a dwarf star in the galaxy until the star died sometime by the Republic Era. A near impossibility of science, the lingering dwarf sat in space at temperatures near absolute zero, creating gravity wells and other quantum fluctuations around it. In 29 BBY, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi traveled to the system on assignment from the Jedi High Council to study the star, unknowingly carrying a curious stowaway: his twelve-year old Padawan, Anakin Skywalker. After discovering Skywalker asleep aboard the ship, Kenobi used the dead star system to teach his young student about attachment and the importance of letting go, as even the brightest of stars pass in time.
The dead star system was referenced in an anecdote from Obi-Wan Kenobi's perspective in Mike Chen's 2022 novel Brotherhood. Chen intended the passage to serve as a connection to Matthew Stover's 2005 Legends Revenge of the Sith novelization, in which the same scenario is recounted from Skywalker's point of view.
