"Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?"
Leia Organa, referring to Chewbacca[2]

A carpet, or rug[3] was a covering of the floor used throughout the galaxy.

Types of carpet[]

  • Wrodian carpet was a luxurious carpet with rich colors and a fine weave. These could take generations to complete.[4]
  • Foam-carpet was not technically carpet, but it was an inexpensive replacement which could be sprayed directly onto the floor to create a soft cushion.[6]
  • Huj mats were types of rugs woven with an assortment of colors and shapes.[7]

The planet Harswee, a Mandalorian world located in the Mandalore sector, was known for luxurious loom-woven rugs. The Coronet, the personal starliner of Duchess Satine Kryze of the New Mandalorians, made extensive use of Harswee carpeting.[8] The Mandalorian leader known as Mandalore the Binder hailed from Harswee, where he grew up as the son of one of the world's rug weavers.[9]

Residences of Tatooine were known to create handwoven carpets.[10]

Common phrases[]

"These rugs really tie the room together."
