Gravity/Legends

Gravity is the attraction between two bodies and depended on their masses and the distance apart.

Gravity played a major role in the Galaxy. Along with the Force, it bound things together. At times, gravity could become a nuisance, usually to those attempting to forge hyperlanes in areas of tightly packed star formation, making them unstable. Gravity was also needed for anti-gravity repulsorlifts to properly work in an atmosphere. Without an opposing force to push against, repulsorcraft would not work.

Most inhabited planets and moons in the galaxy had an acceleration of gravity at or near standard gravity of 9.81 m/s².

Gravity was responsible for helping Obi-Wan Kenobi find the missing planet of Kamino, as all nearby objects were drawn towards it.

Behind the scenes
The majority of the planets seen in Star Wars most likely have a low escape velocity (or at least lower than Earth) due to the ease ships have in exiting each planet's atmosphere.
