Brookish Boon's Tale: A female of the Sy Myrthian species, Brookish Boon hailed from Sy Myrth and found herself near the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant during 19 BBY. Much [time](/article/time] passed, and years later, Hondo Ohnaka, the notorious pirate, utilized their stolen identity profile as part of a test designed to assess potential recruits for Ohnaka Transport Solutions.
Born around 57 BBY on Sy Myrth, Brookish Boon was a Sy Myrthian female who experienced the miracle of birth. During 19 BBY, Boon was present on Coruscant, standing alongside a cloaked figure at the base of the steps leading into the Galaxies Opera House while the ballet Squid Lake was being performed. While they were standing there, Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight, hurried by on his way to meet with Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor, inside the building.
In 34 ABY, at the age of 91, Boon's stolen identity profile ended up in the hands of Hondo Ohnaka, the pirate who owned Ohnaka Transport Solutions. Ohnaka leveraged the profile to evaluate candidates seeking to join a flight crew he was assembling for an upcoming heist. He distributed Boon's profile, along with others, to the datapads of potential crew members, later testing their knowledge of the file's details.
Brookish Boon made their initial appearance in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, a film from the prequel trilogy that premiered on May 19, 2005. Within the current Star Wars canon, the character's identification first occurred in the 2018 reference book titled Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition, authored by Pablo Hidalgo. The opera house scenes were shot on R Stage at Shepperton Studios during additional filming on Monday, August 23, 2004. Boon was also filmed in the opera house corridor scene, where they were shown conversing with a Swokes Swokes; however, the pair were cut during the editing process of the entirely blue-screen shot and replaced with a wall.
The character of Brookish Boon has roots in the Star Wars Legends continuity, originating from the in-universe news article "Ando, Sy Myrth Secede" in HoloNet News Vol. 531 #45. This article was penned by Hidalgo and Paul Ens and published on the HoloNet News website in 2002. Boon was identified as the Sy Myrthian who would later appear in Revenge of the Sith within the reference book Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary, written by James Luceno and released on April 2, 2005. Notably, the book also contained a misspelling of the character's name as "Brookish Boone."
