A candle was an archaic illumination source. Candles were made of meltable material, with a central wick which was lit to give light as it burned.^[1] The light produced by a candle was dim and flickering.^[2] To prevent extinguishment or excessive flickering, they were sometimes put into portable cases.^[1] In 22 BBY, a band of Tusken Raiders kidnapped Shmi Skywalker Lars, mother of Jedi Anakin Skywalker, and kept her prisoner among their encampment. Skywalker eventually found his dying mother held within a hut illuminated by dozens of candles.^[3]

Beyond their practical use, candles were also lit around graves and tombs in honor of the dead.^[2] When a deceased Human citizen of Naboo could not be cremated in the vicinity of the Livet Tower, which contained an Eternal Flame, it was customary to place a lighted candle on their chest.^[4]
