10 Background Star Wars Items More Important Than You Think
These Star Wars photos, pieces of jewellery, and more are far more important than you thought.
When it comes to popular franchises, they don't come much more vast and intriguing than the iconic galaxy far, far away.
Boasting countless fascinating worlds, colourful characters, epic tales, and interesting items, just about every single frame in a Star Wars project is overflowing with delicious detail.
In fact, even many of the seemingly unimportant objects and props found occupying the background in various scenes throughout everything from small-screen animated shows to big-screen Episodes are actually way more significant than you ever knew.
You may have initially thought these minor items, monuments, easily missed accessories, and pieces of set decoration were little more than ways to fill out the on-screen background, but once you learn the truth, you'll discover that they were always so much more than that.
Meaningful jewellery, compelling artefacts, rather familiar pieces of Legends history, and tributes to certain notable moments were all hiding in plain sight in live-action and animated Star Wars adventures. So, let's take a closer look at exactly why each of these background items and objects was far more important than you likely ever realised.
10. The Dancing Goddess In Dryden's Office (Plus More!) - Solo: A Star Wars Story
As this list will show off a few more times before its end, just about every office or store in the galaxy far, far away is overflowing with wonderful objects that are more than just pretty decorations.
Take Crimson Dawn leader Dryden Vos' office in Solo: A Star Wars Story, a room that boasted more background items with hugely intriguing backstories than you could shake a lightsaber at.
Firstly you have the Dancing Goddess, a green statuette that popped up in the Legends Marvel Star Wars comics. This statue was a vital part of the House of the Goddess machine on Godo and even ended up in Lando Calrissian's possession at some point.
Despite what you may have thought, that distinct skull seen in the background isn't a nod to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This masthead of Xim the Despot, made of mytag crystal, was a nod to the Han Solo and the Lost Legacy Legends novel, with the book's cover having included a similar-looking crystal skull on it.
The ashes of Contispex I, a former Supreme Chancellor, were also visible in arks positioned near the aforementioned Dancing Goddess.
Put simply, Vos' office was stuffed full of items more important than you initially thought.
