Revision as of 15:57, 2 November 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.
