Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A guillotine was a device used for carrying out executions by decapitation. It consisted of a tall upright frame from which a blade was suspended. This blade was raised with a rope and then allowed to drop, separating the head from the body. The condemned were often led to the guillotine incorporating a public spectacle and executed in plain view, adding to the victim's degradation. The electroguillotine was a type of guillotine used on Onderon.
