Darth Vader's blood

"Blood is about to spill, all right. Yours!"
General Grievous, to Maul[1]

Blood was a liquid substance present in most sentient beings, though not all species had the same color of blood. Humans[2] and Aqualish,[3] for example, had red blood; while Rodians,[4] Duros,[5] Trandoshans, [6], Lokori,[7] and some Pykes had green blood.[8] Other Pykes instead possessed yellow blood[9] as did Geonosians.[10] Kiffar had scarlet blood,[11] Devaronians had black blood[12] and Anzellans had purple blood.[13]

By testing a sample of someone's blood, it was possible to get a midi-chlorian count and determine how sensitive one was to the Force.[14] Human blood was said to have a characteristic metallic taste.[15] Bloodburn was a rare blood disease that affected some starship pilots.[16]

The emotions of sentient beings of flesh and blood were driven by chemicals in their bloodstream. However, stone-based beings who had no blood, such as the Kakran, processed information differently and did not experience strong emotions, such as fear.[17]
