- "Kings not only like to collect, they like to boast about their collections."
- ―Han Solo
A king was the male ruler of a monarchy who normally inherited his position by right of birth and ruled for life.[11] A female of equivalent status was referred to as a queen.[12] Planets such as Mon Cala,[13] Onderon,[14] and Toydaria were ruled by kings.[15] In some cases, including that of Naboo, the king or queen was elected by their subjects and could only stay in place for a specified period.[16]
History[]
- "Our true king has been silenced. The one you recognize is a traitor and a Separatist minion."
- ―Saw Gerrera
King Jafan served as the monarch of Naboo during the planet's Great Time of Peace,[18] whereas Ars Veruna ruled before the reign of Queen Padmé Amidala.[1]
Before their exile from their homeworld, the ancestors of the First Wavers refused to abandon their allegiance to an overthrown king, thus leading to them accepting banishment rather than betray their oath.[19]
King Katuunko reigned over Toydaria during the Clone Wars,[20] but was eventually killed by the Sith apprentice Savage Opress.[7]
Chai served as the king of the planet Vallt. He died during the Clone Wars, and was replaced with the Separatist-allied Marshal Phara.[21]
Yos Kolina was the eighty-second king of the aquatic planet Mon Cala.[13] Following his assassination at the hands of Separatist Commander Riff Tamson and the ensuing battle, he was succeeded by his son Prince Lee-Char.[22]
Manchucho served as the king of the planet Aleen during the Clone Wars. He and his people asked for the Galactic Republic's help when groundquakes devastated their planet.[23]
King Ramsis Dendup of Onderon decided that his planet would remain neutral during the Clone Wars, and refused to choose between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[24] He was then replaced on the throne by the Separatist puppet ruler Sanjay Rash,[17] until Onderon was finally freed from the Confederacy's oppression by rebels, with the help of Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano.[2]
During the Galactic Civil War, the planet Shu-Torun was ruled by a king, until he was murdered by Darth Vader's assassin droids, BT-1 and 0-0-0. The Sith Lord put the late monarch's third child, Princess Trios, on the throne.[3]
The Wookiee Grakchawwaa served as a king on the Mid Rim planet of Kashyyyk.[25]
Around the time of the Iron Blockade of the Anoat sector, King Ozz reigned over the Ugnaught floating colony Ugnorgrad orbiting the gas giant Bespin.[25]
During the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, the smuggler Han Solo was commissioned by King Prana to collect rathtars for his private zoo.[10]
