Oxygen

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

"The thought of not being with you… I can't breathe."
―Anakin Skywalker to Padmé Amidala[src]

Oxygen (O)[1] was the elemental gas that many beings breathed to survive, most notably Humans. It was, however, poisonous to Celegians, Kel Dor, Gand, and various other species. Oxygen was found on many inhabited planets and moons throughout the galaxy. It was highly reactive; considered a reducing agent.[1] Oxygen was present as oxides in Tibanna gas on Bespin.[2]

The Fabrennix Oxygen Extractor was a device that was often used to extract oxygen from underground water as well as water vapor sources. Using a meter-long probe, it dug into the surface of a planet in order to collect individual molecules of water so that its operator would have enough to drink.[3] The Mon Calamari also used Oxygen Symbiotes in order to breathe underwater. These symbiotes were able to filter pure oxygen from water, transferring it into the operator's lungs through their mouth and nose.[4]

While oxygen presumably appears on nearly all inhabited planets, the following is only a list of sources in which oxygen is specifically mentioned:
