A cane was an object utilized to assist an individual in walking. They could also be a symbol of high rank or status.

Several well known being in the galaxy made use of a cane, including Emperor Palpatine^[1] and Jedi Master Yoda^[2]. Halle Burtoni, an elderly female Senator from Kamino also made use of a cane to assist her movement in her old age.^[3] Geonosian leader, Poggle the Lesser, walked with a cane known as the Staff of Command, which symbolized his authority as Archduke.^[3] Baron N. Papanoida's cane seemed to serve as a symbol of affluence, as he was perfectly mobile with out it and did not require it to walk.^[4][5]

While Master Yoda used a simple cane made from Gimer wood, other elderly Jedi fashioned their canes to serve a double purpose - both walking aide and lightsaber. The blind Veknoid Jedi Master Zao fashioned his walking cane to act as the hilt of his lightsaber.^[6] Similarly, Tera Sinube, a male Cosian Jedi Master, created his lightsaber hilt as the detachable handle of his cane.^[3][7]
