Xenophobia (Earth-2042)



"I have no issues with aliens myself—some of my best friends are nonhumans—but some Imperials object to alien physiognomies, seeing them as giving nonhumans an edge."

- Orson Krennic

Xenophobia, also known as speciesism, is dislike or prejudice toward individuals from other species. Zare Leonis regarded Director Orson Callan Krennic as xenophobic for excluding his two alien classmates from a drill training. Leonis' experiences with Krennic led him to believe that the Galactic Empire condoned prejudice toward individuals belonging to the "wrong species." By the time of the Battle of Endor, it was widely known that the Empire pursued a xenophobic policy that favored Humans and treated aliens as subjects or threats.
