Background: Han Solo’s dice were a pair of aurodium-plated gold dice owned by the smuggler Han Solo that he used to play the sabacc variant known as “Corellian Spike” with.

Prior to Han taking possession of the dice, they were owned by his father, Ovan. While escaping his homeworld of Corellia in 13 BBY, Han gave the pair of dice to Qi’ra as a symbol of good luck, only for her to be captured by Moloch, taking the pair of dice with her. Three years later on the planet Kessel, Qi’ra gave the pair of dice back to Han during a mission to steal unrefined coaxium from the Kessel mines. During a game of Spike against Lando Calrissian, Solo won his opponent’s YT-1300 light freighter, the Millennium Falcon, thanks to those dice. Solo kept the gaming devices, and the Wookiee Chewbacca hung them in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon years before the Cyrkon Extraction as a joke, though Solo kept them up as a lucky charm.

Following an attack on an Imperial Impound Yard, Solo was reunited with the Falcon and Chewbacca, saying how he had missed the ship while running his fingers over the dice.

As a child, Han’s son, Ben Solo, enjoyed playing with the dice while always following his father, promising anyone that listened that one day he would become a pilot like his father.

Decades later, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker examined the dice when the Falcon arrived on Ahch-To. During the Battle of Crait, Skywalker Force projected himself and the dice to appear on Crait and gave them to his sister, Leia Organa, Han’s widow. Later, Ben found the Force projection of the dice, which then disappeared. Later during the war between the First Order and the Resistance, replicas of the dice were sold at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu.
