Yavin Convention

The Yavin Convention was a conference held approximately a millennium prior to 19 BBY at which the Yavin Code was established, which stated that prisoners were required to be blindfolded prior to being executed. The Yavin Convention shared its name with the gas giant Yavin. When Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured by the Separatists and was on his way to be executed aboard one of their supply ships during a mission to Utapau in 19 BBY, Kenobi cited the Yavin Code and noted its origination at the Yavin Convention in an effort to stall his battle droid escort until Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker came to rescue him.

The Yavin Code was mentioned in "The Big Bang," an unfinished episode of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars that was written by Daniel Arkin and released on StarWars.com on September 25, 2014.
