―Null ARC trooper A'den and Republic commando Fi, discussing the Marit's cannibalistic tradition^[1]

Zanibar ritual — Zanibar conducted a ritual that entailed the consumption of others.

Cannibalism was the term for when a sentient species, sometimes due to food shortages or famine, ate members of their own kind. The term was also used to describe individual or species who consumed members of other sentient species.

The Rakatan individual known as The One forced many species to revert to this practice. The insectoid Colicoids were known cannibals, eating off-worlders who landed on their homeworld and sometimes capturing vessels which passed too close. The reptilian Marits were traditionally cannibals, as well, though the Marits' only ate those who had already died, and did so as a means of disposing of the bodies in a way they deemed beneficial to the living.

Certain Hutts were known to eat their enemies, Jabba Desilijic Tiure among them.

The Zanibar under the employ of Grappa the Hutt^[2] followed a religion which required^[source?] ritualistic sacrifices and consumption of other sentients.^[2]
