Deity

"I do believe that they think I am some sort of god."

―C-3PO

A deity, also called a god or goddess, was a being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people. When the primitive Ewoks of Endor encountered the golden protocol droid C-3PO, they mistook him for a god and started worshipping him. Because of their immense powers, the Force wielders of Mortis were considered to be god-like beings, and Darth Sidious once referred to them as deities.

The Holy Mother was a deity spoken of in the Heaven system. Upon seeing Asajj Ventress in gala dress, the enamoured Quinlan Vos thought she looked like "a goddess of love and war and hope and ecstasy." Count Dooku once referred to Florrum as a "godforsaken planet." The Church of the Force and the Acolytes of the Beyond worshipped aspects of the Force in lieu of a god.
