Unidentified ringed moon

A ringed moon was one of the twin moons that orbited the planet Brendok. The moon had a pale gray appearance, with darker areas and circular regions. It orbited in the opposite direction to Brendok's other moon, which was situated closer to the planet and would obscure the ringed moon in a lunar eclipse when they aligned. During the Rite of Ascension ceremony performed by the coven of witches led by Mother Aniseya for the twins Mae-ho and Verosha Aniseya, the two moons aligned into an eclipse.
Sixteen years later, after Mae escaped from Jedi Master Sol's Polan in an escape craft above Brendok, she flew past the planet and into the moon's rings, assuming Sol's vessel was too large to follow her. However, Sol dived the Polan into the rings in pursuit, with the shuttle sustaining damage in the process. After the Tynnan tracker Bazil sabotaged the Polan, preventing Sol from firing on the escape craft, Mae exited the moon's rings and headed for Brendok's surface.
==Behind the scenes==
The ringed moon first appeared in "Destiny," the third episode of the Disney+ series The Acolyte, which aired on June 11, 2024. The chase sequence within the moon's ring in the episode "The Acolyte" was a late addition in the series' development, devised as a means of separating Sol and Mae. Industrial Light & Magic production visual effects supervisor Julian Foddy noted that asteroid belts were one of the few ways to provide interaction and obstacles in space. As asteroids have been depicted in Star Wars on numerous occasions, production designer Kevin Jenkins suggested that the moon's rings have an unusual blue and turquoise coloration, which Foddy described as appearing to be made of ice or minerals.
According to Foddy, there was a "pseudo-science" behind the approach to the moon's rings, in which different bands of gravity held the crystals at various densities that refracted light differently to change the coloration. Shafts of sunlight and floating crystals that created volume and atmosphere allowed for "god-rays," with the sequence then entering the shadow of the dark side of the moon before a dramatic reemergence back into the light.
