The title Son of Suns was referred to in an old Force prophecy that foresaw a galactic savior. Around a century prior to the Clone Wars, this prophecy became the focal point for the people of Thyrsus, in particular the Sun Guard military order. This fixation was encouraged by the clandestine Sith Order of that time, and usurped the savior role in order to further their agenda. By Palpatine's time, the Guard were loyal Sith soldiers.^[1]

Son of Suns was also a title belonging to Thi-Sen, a Talz Chieftain.

Behind the scenesEdit

"Son of Suns" is a reference to a prophecy that was included in an earlier draft of the script that eventually became Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Despite popular belief, the prophecy had not appeared in a canonical work up until Trespass, and has no link to the Skywalker family or the Chosen One prophecy.
