Gravity was the attraction between two bodies, dependent on their masses and the distance between them.

Along with the Force, gravity bound things together. At times, gravity could become a nuisance, usually to those attempting to forge hyperlanes in areas of tightly packed star formation, making them unstable. Gravity was also needed for anti-gravity repulsorlifts to properly work in an atmosphere. Without an opposing force to push against, repulsorcraft could not work.

Most inhabited planets and moons in the galaxy had an acceleration of gravity at or near standard gravity of 9.81 m/s².

Starships utilized artificial gravity generators to simulate gravity in outer space.

Gravity was responsible for helping Obi-Wan Kenobi find the missing planet of Kamino, as all nearby objects were drawn towards the spot where Kamino was supposed to be, though nothing was recorded in the Jedi Archives at those coordinates.
