- "Looks like some kind of ore. I don't recognize it."
- ―Leia Organa, to Luke Skywalker
Ore was a type of mineral. It was valuable to the Galactic Empire. At one point, the Empire destroyed a farm on the planet Lothal that belonged to Morad Sumar due to its proximity to a vein of ore, allowing for the Empire to take over the land and extract the ore.[2]
