Starkiller Base was introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as a major weapon in the early timeline of Star Wars' First Order.
Starkiller Base Was Actually The Sacred Jedi Planet Ilum A planet integral to the Jedi Order, Ilum, is Starkiller Base. In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Starkiller Base was shown as a barren, cold, and icy planet. The film failed to divulge where the planet was in the galaxy, though the novelization of Episode VII revealed a massive fact about the superweapon.
Will James Mangold's Dawn Of The Jedi Show The Discovery Of Ilum? In the wider areas of Star Wars canon, it has been confirmed that Ilum was discovered in the earliest days of the Jedi Order. Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi is set to focus on exactly this: the beginning of the Jedi Order and their connection with the Force. As such, it could be the case that the discovery of Ilum and its Kyber-based properties are included in James Mangold's upcoming movie.
