A Jedi Master known as Qui-Gon Jinn originated from a terrestrial planet, which served as his homeworld. He departed from this world as a young child to become a member of the Jedi Order, but he did return for visits later in his life. This planet possessed surface water in liquid form, along with an atmosphere suitable for Humans. The planet was a source of a Force-sensitive type of stone; Jinn acquired one such stone from the River of Light and treasured it as a keepsake.
The planet was a terrestrial one, characterized by a Type I atmosphere capable of sustaining Human existence. Liquid water was present on the world's surface, exemplified by the River of Light. Within the River of Light, a particular type of stone sensitive to the Force could be found. Its color was a lustrous black, displaying deep red veins when illuminated by intense light. The stone radiated warmth to the touch and emitted a crystalline glow in darkness.
In 92 BBY, the male Human known as Qui-Gon Jinn was born on this very planet. Shortly thereafter, the Jedi Order recognized Jinn's innate Force abilities, leading to his relocation to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, where he underwent Jedi training. Unlike many Jedi of that era who severed ties with their previous lives upon joining the Order, Jinn maintained connections to his birth planet. During a visit around 79 BBY at the age of thirteen, he retrieved a Force-sensitive stone from the River of Light.
Jinn, who later achieved the rank of Jedi Master, kept the stone as a memento of his homeworld for more than thirty years. Eventually, he gifted it to his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, when Kenobi reached the age of thirteen in 44 BBY. Subsequently, Kenobi passed the stone on to his own apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, on Skywalker's thirteenth birthday in 29 BBY. Knowledge of the Force-sensitive river stones persisted into the time of the New Jedi Order. Following the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War in 29 ABY, Jedi Knight Tam Azur-Jamin referenced these stones in his essay Droids, Technology and the Force: A Clash of Phenomena, which explored the manifestation of the Force within inanimate objects and technological devices.
The third book in the Jedi Apprentice series, The Hidden Past, penned by Jude Watson and released in 1999, was the first to mention Qui-Gon Jinn's place of origin. The planet's official name remains undisclosed. Both The New Essential Guide to Characters and the 2011 publication Star Wars: Mysteries of the Jedi identify Jinn's homeworld as "unknown," a designation also used by the original Databank encyclopedia on StarWars.com.
Abel G. Peña's 2005 Hyperspace-exclusive article, Droids, Technology and the Force: A Clash of Phenomena, alludes to the presence of the Force in "lifeless rocks like river stones." In the article's endnotes, which were published on his StarWars.com blog, Peña clarified that this was intended as a reference to the stones discovered on Qui-Gon Jinn's home planet.
