All of the Ithorian Jedi in the Star Wars Galaxy

Several Ithorian individuals become Jedi in Star Wars. Originating from the planet Ithor, Ithorians have four throats and two stomachs. An extremely pacifist culture, Ithorians exile violent individuals from their plant. Ithorian culture values nature. Hunting on Ithor is strictly forbidden. Two of the most famous Ithorian individuals among Star Wars fans may well be Momaw Nadon, an exiled Ithorian, from the Tatooine cantina and 240-year-old relic collector Dok-Ondar from Batuu.
