- "I do believe that they think I am some sort of god."
- ―C-3PO
A deity,[2] also called a god or goddess, was a being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshipped by a people. When the primitive Ewoks of Endor encountered the golden protocol droid C-3PO, they mistook him for a god and started worshipping him.[1] Because of their immense powers, the Force wielders of Mortis were considered to be god-like beings,[3] and Darth Sidious once referred to them as deities.[4]
The Holy Mother was a deity spoken of in the Aakaash system.[5] Upon seeing Asajj Ventress in gala dress, the enamoured Quinlan Vos thought she looked like "a goddess of love and war and hope and ecstasy."[6] Count Dooku once referred to Florrum as a "godforsaken planet."[7] The Church of the Force and the Acolytes of the Beyond worshipped aspects of the Force in lieu of a god.[8][9]
Trandoshans idolized a goddess known as the Scorekeeper. For every kill a Trandoshan earned on a hunt, the Scorekeeper would reward them with a "Jagannath point."[10] This system was used as a game of sorts, where Trandoshans would capture unique species from around the galaxy and bring them to Island Four of the moon Wasskah, which rotated around the Trandoshan's homeworld, Trandosha,[11] to see how well one another could appease the goddess when each of them were stretched to their limits.
The Teedo worshipped a deity called R'iia, an aggressive deity who would rain their anger down on the planet Jakku. They believed that R'iia brought upon the Battle of Jakku, and crashed the Imperial Star Destroyers into the deserts. R'iia would supposedly breathe harsh sandstorms onto the world, which the Teedo called X'us'R'iia. R'iia was said to bring upon a never-ending storm that was spreading devastation across the world, and that all their anger was because of the sins the Teedo had committed.[12]
Sometimes, powerful Force users, like Sith, were viewed as gods.[13]
