Noble

Nobles, also known as patricians and colloquially as bluebloods, were the members of the highest social class in certain societies. They typically held special titles (such as baron, count, duke, viceroy, emir, and archduke) and traditionally had more money and power than the other people in their society. Because of that, nobles tended to live a privileged existence, with servants, copious amounts of fine food and splendid residences. Kings and their families, such as the House of Organa, were nobles.

Sometimes, titles of nobility could be usurped by foreign invaders, such as when Foreman Wat Tambor of the Techno Union proclaimed himself "Emir of Ryloth."

By the time of the New Republic, almost no one took the concept of hereditary nobility seriously any longer, not even those who belonged to the Elder Houses.
