Let’s dive into a somewhat controversial topic within Star Wars; politics. While the political matters within the franchise turn some fans off, they do not seem to realise that Star Wars has always had a political aspect, even back in 1977. Remember when Princess Leia mentioned she was on a mission from the Imperial Senate? Anyway, this post will explore an incomplete list of senators.
This list will only include senators within the Star Wars canon. Star Wars legends will NOT be included. Not all the senators we’ve listed are on the same side. Some were on the side of the Galactic Republic, others were Separatists, while the New Republic also had senators for the short time it was in power.
