A braid was a kind of hairstyle involving multiple strands of hair twined around each other. They were worn by many cultures and species across the galaxy. Padawan braids were worn by Jedi Padawans to signify their status as apprentices, and were ritually cut off when their apprenticeships ended. Braids were also significant to the culture of the planet Alderaan. Many Alderaanians wore braids, and the planet's monarch traditionally always wore them. The bounty hunter Boba Fett had braids made from Wookiees on his armor. Whilst fighting the Wookiee Chewbacca on the planet Jekara, he threatened to make a new braid from Chewbacca.
