Revision as of 22:03, 21 December 2016
Star Wars has often been hailed as a visual masterpiece, but one of the things that truly sets it apart is the lived-in quality of the sets and props. Far from the antiseptic feel of other science fiction franchises, ships and droids have a certain verisimilitude; they get dirty, they have smell. This has led to the eternal question (normally posed by Alex) "What does it smell like?"
The default sort order is alphabetical.
Examples
| What is it? | Minute | What does it smell like? |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud City | ESB 80 | Either like a casino or like farts (from all the beldon gas). |
| Darth Vader (under his armor) | ESB 45 | Sweat socks and old leather. Like if you keep a bandaid on too long. |
| Darth Vader's breath | SWM 37 | Motor oil and curry |
| Every scene in the Prequels | ESB 45 | Febreze™ |
| George Lucas | ROTJ 98 | Chicken sandwiches |
| Our heroes and their clothes | SWM 87 SWM 97 |
Garbage masher stench (starting Minute 77 and throughout the rest of the movie). |
| Qui Gon's "Defiance" | TPM 128 | Burlap and hair grease |
| The Death Star | SWM 37 | Fear |
| The Jawa Sandcrawler | SWM 44 | WD-40 and poop |
| The Millennium Falcon and its smuggling compartments | SWM 60 SWM 65 |
Lots of things, and none of them pleasant Strong spices, curry, and garbage. |
| Yoda | ESB 68 | Rotting seaweed - like a seaweed smoothie; totally nauseating. |
