If we’re going to retcon Pasaana as a known planet, I believe it should be Jedha, as it was suggested many pages ago.

  • Both planets share their filming location (Wadi Rum, Jordan) and look very similar.
  • Jedha was a pilgrimage site for believers in the Force and a former stronghold of the Jedi. It makes sense for Ochi to go there and for Luke to follow him on his quest for Exegol.
  • The festival of ancestors could be turned into a a religious liturgy for any of the cults seen in Rogue One.
  • Immediately after their escape, the heroes hide in an asteroid field. It could be retconned into a ring of debris orbiting Jedha as a result of the Death Star firing on it.

The only challenges I see would be the redubbing of some dialogue where Pasaana is mentioned by name, and digitally altering the planet as seen from space (adding the asteroid field around it, plus a huge crater or chunk of floating debris where the holy city was supposed to be).
