A gladiator represented a combatant who underwent training to engage in armed battles within an arena, facing off against various opponents, including other sentients, droids, or untamed beasts, all for the amusement of a viewing audience. Gladiators encompassed figures such as Kreel, who was compelled into gladiatorial combat within the fighting pits situated on Chagar IX, and the Wookiee named Krrsantan, who received his training from the Xonti Brothers, who managed a gladiatorial business. Furthermore, gladiator droids existed, exemplified by K0-5D. Noteworthy gladiatorial contests featured events like the Stormblade Bloodfest, the Outer Rim Carve-up, Arena Day, and the Gladiator Night held on Lothal. During the trial of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker on Geonosis, Poggle the Lesser condemned them to die by forcing them to battle in the Petranaki arena.
