- "The great Thi-Sen, 'Son of Suns,' asks again that you leave or it will mean war."
- ―C-3PO, to Chairman Chi Cho
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, which usurped the savior role in order to further their agenda. By Palpatine's time, the Guard were loyal Sith soldiers.[2]
"Son of Suns" was also a title belonging to Thi-Sen, a Talz Chieftain.
