- "You're wondering why I wear this Kyuzo hat even though I'm a Jedi? […] Oh— as with most things, there's a story behind that, but the simple answer is, it's mostly for practical reasons. This hat protects me from the harsh Takodana sun. It comes in handy when I need to go downhill fast! It's an excellent plate in a pinch! And most importantly of all… it makes a great weapon!"
- ―Savina Besatrix Malagán
Kyuzo war shields,[2] also known as Kyuzo war helmets[4] or simply Kyuzo hats,[3] were wide-brimmed metal hats worn by the Kyuzos of Phatrong.[2] Immune to blaster bolts, they were also sometimes used as shields and could be thrown as missiles.[1]
