| | '''Bones''' were calcified, hard tissues that made up the internal [[Skeleton/Legends|skeletons]] of certain animals, who were referred to as vertebrates. Bones functioned to move, support, and protect the various organs of the body, such as how the skull protected a being's [[Brain/Legends|brain]], along with producing red and white [[Blood/Legends|blood]] cells and store minerals. Bone tissue was a type of dense connective tissue. Other organics had an [[exoskeleton]] or a cartilaginous skeletal structure. After [[Death/Legends|death]], a vertebrate's body would decay, releasing its energy back into its ecosystem and leaving the bones behind. |

| ''Cheekbones'' were bones that formed part of the [[Human/Legends|Human]] face. [[Count/Legends|Count]] [[Dooku/Legends|Dooku]] was described as having "high and proud" cheekbones.<ref>[[Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (novelization)|''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'' (novel)]]</ref> [[Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends|Wilhuff Tarkin]] was known for his sharp cheekbones.<ref name="DL">''[[Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader]]''</ref> [[Trista Zel|Trista]] and [[Taryn Zel]] also had sharp, high cheekbones.<ref name="Invincible">''[[Legacy of the Force: Invincible]]''</ref>

| The ''hyoid bone'' was a bone located near a [[Human/Legends|Human's]] throat that when fractured usually resulted in fatal injury. This was evident in victims of [[Telekinesis/Legends|Force choke]], such as [[Padmé Amidala/Legends|Padmé Amidala]], who died from complications surrounding a damaged hyoid bone suffered from her husband [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Darth Vader]] in [[19 BBY/Legends|19 BBY]].<ref name="CN2">''[[Coruscant Nights II: Street of Shadows]]''</ref>

| In some cultures, bones were regarded as having [[magic]]al properties, from the dangerous [[Nightsisters/Legends|Nightsisters]] of [[Dathomir/Legends|Dathomir]] to the unassuming [[Ewok/Legends|Ewoks]] from [[Endor/Legends|Endor]]. As of [[21 BBY/Legends|21 BBY]], [[Daka/Legends|Old Daka]], one of the eldest Nightsisters, was known to wear a headdress made of bones.<ref name="TCWM">{{TCW|Massacre}}</ref> The Ewok [[Shaman/Legends|shaman]] [[Logray/Legends|Logray]] would carry a staff ornamented with the spinal bones of a defeated foe.<ref name="SWVD">''[[Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary]]''</ref> | | In some cultures, bones were regarded as having [[magic]]al properties, from the dangerous [[Nightsisters/Legends|Nightsisters]] of [[Dathomir/Legends|Dathomir]] to the unassuming [[Ewok/Legends|Ewoks]] from [[Endor/Legends|Endor]].

| Particular bones were sometimes considered as sacred in archaic cultures. The [[Wookiee/Legends|Wookiees]] of [[Rock Council]] would use the "[[talking bone]]" to give the floor to a speaker.<ref name="Inf">''[[Legacy of the Force: Inferno]]''</ref> | | Particular bones were sometimes considered as sacred in archaic cultures. |
| | |
| Lastly, bones were sometimes reused for domestic (as exemplified by the [[Pau'an/Legends|Pau'an]] architectural style known as [[ossic]])<ref name="SWCL">[[Star Wars: Complete Locations (2005)|''Star Wars: Complete Locations'']]</ref> or military uses (notably [[bone armor]]s).<ref name="SWGAD">''[[Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Quick Reference Guide]]''</ref>

| ==Behind the scenes==
| |
| In many cultures, high cheekbones are seen as a sign of female beauty, or as a mark of aristocracy.<ref>{{Cite_web|url=http://employees.csbsju.edu/lmealey/hotspots/Chapter09.htm|title=The Nobility of High Cheekbones: The Biology of Beauty|author=Guthrie, R. Dale|work=Body Hot Spots: The Anatomy of Human Social Organs and Behavior|archivedate=20080424074214}}</ref> For this reason, "aristocratic" characters such as [[Hapan]]s or high-ranking [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] officials are often described as having prominent cheekbones.
