Its herders had settled into towns, leaving migration to traditionalists and eco-conscious youths in national service. Its hide-walled chooms were now heated glass lodges on the edge of vast estates, perfect for honeymooning under the Lights. Its distances were no longer measured in vuulku piss—kilometers had been added to the local signage when the repulsorlift arrived. 

But as long as grandmamas still roamed the earth, babies would be born into saunas. 

Fox could only sit outside on the cedar stairs and wait. And wait some more. And hate himself while waiting.

Fun fact: Pantora, seen on screen for the first time in The Bad Batch, was originally meant to be seen in The Clone Wars as part of the never produced “Dark Disciple” arc. It was later described in the Dark Disciple novel, and is where Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos meet.

Here are some shots of what it looks like in The Bad Batch:

(In Dark Disciple, the roofs of many of the buildings are described as teardrops, or less poetically, onions. The Pantorans were fond of building on multiple levels.)

The only other time that we’ve seen Pantora is in unfinished story reels for Dark Disciple (you can find the story reels on YouTube)

Bonus Fun Fact: Pantora is the homework of Riyo Chuchi, Republic Senator seen in The Clone Wars, and Baron Notluwiski Papanoida, also seen in The Clone Wars, but originally portrayed by George Lucas in Revenge of the Sith. In Dark Disciple, it is mentioned that there is a statue of Baron Papanoida on Pantora.

Baron Papanoida’s daughter Chi Eekway was played by Katie Lucas, George’s daughter and a screenwriter on The Clone Wars, who wrote -- among other episodes -- the screenplay for the “Dark Disciple” arc.
