A sentientologist (also referred to as a sapientologist[1] or an anthropologist[2]) was a scientist who studied the biology, culture, and history of the galaxy's wide variety of sentient races and species.[3] The University of Sanbra's Sentient Studies Department was one of the main centers for the study of sentientology.[4] Scholars at the University of Coruscant were also influential in the field. Under the New Republic, a multi-species committee of scholars at the University of Coruscant was responsible for classifying species as sentient, semi-sentient, or non-sentient.[2]
Prominent sentientologists of the Imperial era included:
- Obo Rin, an Imperial functionary who wrote two editions of Catalog of Intelligent Life in the Galaxy under Darth Vader's sponsorship[3]
- Ditwar Logas, a renowned scholar whom Obo Rin claimed to have worked with (though these claims were suspect)[5]
- Tem Eliss, an Iyra professor at the University of Sanbra who wrote The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life[4]
- Senior Anthropologist Mammon Hoole, an independent Shi'ido researcher who was the major contributor to The Essential Guide to Alien Species[2]
