"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." - ―Qui-Gon Jinn and Jar Jar Binks
Sentience was the ability of a species to think intelligently. Sentient species of the galaxy numbered in the tens of thousands, with 3PO units being programmed to recognize more than 30,000 of them.[1] Some such species included humans,[2] the Ewoks,[3] the Patitites,[4] the Gungans,[5] and the Geonosians.[6] Non-sentient organics of the animal kingdom were variously referred to as "creatures"[7][8] or "beasts."[9][10] There also existed creatures that appeared to have emerging sentience, such as the Zillo Beast.[11]
Under the laws of the Galactic Republic, sentient beings could not be used as slaves. However, slavery thrived on certain remote planets such as Tatooine,[12] and was considered a profitable trade among the Zygerrians.[13] Most droids were afforded programming that did not allow them to harm organic sentient beings, with notable exceptions such as police droids[14] and battle droids.[15]
