In The Last Jedi, what is the name of the casino city?

The story behind the answer

Finn and Rose travel to the galaxy’s glitziest gambling resort on the planet Cantonica to find the master codebreaker—don’t confuse the city with its planet. Cloud City is Bespin’s floating tibanna-gas mining colony from The Empire Strikes Back, and Mos Espa is the Tatooine spaceport tied to Anakin in The Phantom Menace.

The film uses this locale to critique war profiteering: its elite patrons fund both the First Order and the Resistance. The fathier racetrack, abused racing beasts, and exploited child stable hands (including Force-sensitive Temiri Blagg) contrast opulence with inequality. Their encounter with the slicer DJ underscores the movie’s “both-sides” moral ambiguity, making the setting a thematic pivot, not just a stylish detour.
