Baron Administrator is a fictional title featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It is most commonly used in material from the Expanded Universe, which includes both canonical sources and material released under the now non-canonical "Legends" imprint.
Description[]
The title is used to describe the highest reigning authority of a particular establishment or industry. It is not a term of nobility or royalty as the word "Baron" often implies, but is an inherited or provided title describing one's station or a symbol of office.
History[]
During the years of the Galactic Civil War, Lando Calrissian became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City on the gas planet known as Bespin. Lando actually won the position in a game of chance against the facility's previous administrator, Dominic Raynor.
Prior to losing the title to Lando Calrissian, Dominic Raynor was not only the Baron Administrator of Cloud City, but also of the casino space station known as The Wheel. A previous Baron Administrator of The Wheel was Simon Greyshade. After losing control of The Wheel, Dominic Raynor left the position to Cody Sunn-Childe.
Known Baron Administrators[]
Notes[]
- In Legends continuity, Baron Administartors often wore an Aeien silk cape as a symbol of office. Lando Calrissian wore such a cape in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The movie Solo: A Star Wars Story however, shows that Lando owned this cape, or one of similar design, long before he became associated with Cloud City.
