A rug

"Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?"

―Leia Organa, referring to Chewbacca

A carpet, or rug 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.

• Flex-carpet was developed shortly after the Battle of Endor. It was used in upscale residences, and had an internal heating system.

• 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.

• Huj mats were types of rugs woven with an assortment of colors and shapes.

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. 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.

Residences of Tatooine were known to create handwoven carpets.

Common phrases

"These rugs really tie the room together."

―Meatlump King
