- "You moron. It's just a cloak!"
"Yeah? Then why's it ticking..?" - ―Two Black Sun foot soldiers
A cloak was a type of hooded apparel. Galactic Emperor Palpatine wore a simple hooded cloak to hide his face. Cloaks could be worn for fashion (Alderaanian cloak) or as a status-symbol (Command cloak). Most notably they were used for protection against the elements (All-Temperature Cloak) or other people (Stun cloak). Specially imbued cloaks could even protect the user from force-wielders, such include the Yuuzhan Vong Cloak of Nuun and the Sith Cloak of Hate.
