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.

| Cloud City | ESB 80 | A casino. Farts (from all the beldon gas). Dryer sheets (from an 8-DAY-GREEDO call). Sickly sweet cocoa butter. Travel or the inside of an airplane. Outside - a town that has a paper mill; industrial. |
