- "That wasn't just a cloak. The style, the throat clasps, the color and ribbing—all of it identified it as a royal Serennian cloak."
- ―Padmé Amidala
A Serennian cloak, also known as a Royal Serennian cloak, was a cloak worn by nobles of Serenno, as a symbol of nobility. Duke Solha, his brother, and his sister wore a Serennian cloak, which identified them as Serennian nobility.[1] Count of Serenno Dooku wore a Serennian cloak[2] made of armorweave[4] from 42 BBY, when he left the Jedi Order and claimed his place as ruler of Serenno[3] until he died aboard the Invisible Hand on Coruscant, at the hands of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.[5]
