Han’s Golden Dice
During The Last Jedi, Luke sneaks aboard the Millennium Falcon one night and basks in some nostalgia. In particular, he inspects a pair of gold dice that are hanging in the cockpit and looks wistfully at them as if they remind him of the good old days.
The gold dice return at the movie’s climax, too, when Luke (later revealed to be a Force Projection) seemingly gives them back to Leia, as they share a moment of respect for Han Solo’s loss. Later, Kylo Ren finds the dice in the abandoned Resistance base but they disappear in his hand, as they were a Force Projection, too. It’s also symbolic of Kylo not being worthy of holding his father’s memory.
They aren’t a particularly iconic part of the Millenium Falcon’s interior decor, but if you go back and watch A New Hope, you will find the golden dice hanging above the cockpit. Star Wars: The Force Awakens – The Visual Dictionary reveals that these are the dice that won Han the Falcon from Lando Calrissian, so he hung them up as lucky charms.
