Consul to the Supreme Tribunal

The content of this Star Wars Legends article was cut. This article covers a subject that was cut from the final version of a Star Wars Legends source. The subject appeared in no other source and was therefore considered non-canon within the Legends continuity.

The Consul to the Supreme Tribunal was a title of the Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

Behind the scenes

In the rough draft of Star Wars, the Consul is Cos Dashit, who is also entitled Lord of Alderaan. In the first draft, he is named Son Hhat and is also Lord of Granicus. The characters are identical in all other respects.

At one point in both scripts, a "High Consul" is aboard the Space Fortress to witness the imprisonment of Annikin Starkiller. It is not clear if this is the same person, but the context suggests that the title applies to Darth Vader or Valorum (aka Dodona), as he is to be sent to the Imperial/Royal capital for his execution before the Galactic ruler. This inconsistency may be explained if one of these courtiers was also entitled Consul (there were two in ancient Rome and during the Consulate in France), and was therefore not a unique title.
