According to this Jediism is a religion.

So my question is - Are there other religions in the Star Wars Universe?

    There are trillions of people in the Star Wars universe. So, yes. Lots of religions; https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Religions – Valorum Jul 01 '22 at 17:51

There are countless religions across the Star Wars galaxy. Many considered Jedha holy, such as The Church of the Force, Ninn Orthodoxy, Guardians of the Whills, Central Isopter, and Phirmism.

Other Force groups such as the Sith and Nightsisters also had their own religious beliefs.

Trandoshans worshipped a goddess called the Scorekeeper.

Mandalorians had various religious beliefs.

Weapons are a part of my religion. - Din Djarin

They were not united, with some Mandalorians considering The Children of the Watch to be a "cult of religious zealots."

The Ewoks mistook C-3P0 for a god.

At the very least, there's the Mandalorian Way (I forget what the specific sect the title character was raised in), which somehow features weapons and armor and has codes of behavior. He actually refers to it as his "religion" while trying to bring his weapons through customs in one episode.

The Guardians of the Whills on Jeddha (Rogue One) probably count as a separate religion from the Jedi.

I remember there were a bunch of others in the old Legends continuity, but I can't bring them to mind except for the brain-in-a-jar monks whose monastery Jabba took over for his palace. I'm not familiar enough with the current canon except for the movies and the live-action shows.

  • It was certainly stupid of me to forget the mandalorian religion – shanu Jul 01 '22 at 17:56

    He was part of the children of the watch, which is an offshoot of the nightwatch. The brain in the Jar monks are the B'Omarr Monks if memory serves. There's a story about them in "Tales from Jabba's Palace" in the pre-retcon Legends continuity – Journeyman Geek Jul 02 '22 at 03:55

As Han says:

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

If there was only one religion, it would be very peculiar to refer to it in the plural...
