I've checked and I can find nothing notable about these items. What we have are passing mentions of duffel bags and knapsacks and there is nothing substantive here related to Star Wars. They don't have special features, they don't protect the characters from blaster fire or anything else odd or special, they're just carry-bags. This is WP:DICT all the way.

  3. Toprawa and Ralltiir points out a valid omission in Wookieepiedia, but it's only vaguely related to the duffel bag article. Slave Ship never calls the item in question a duffel bag; it is always a pressure duffel (not "pressure-sealed"; that's speculation) or simply a duffel. There should definitely be a pressure duffel article, but nothing in the extant duffel bag article is worth salvaging. Asithol (talk) 00:34, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

  1. In-universe specific information from Slave Ship, chapter 1:
    "In the emergency equipment bay of the Hound's Tooth, his clawed hands tore through the contents of one of the storage lockers. The Hound wasn't going to be a ship much longer; in a few seconds—and counting down—it was going to be glowing bits of shrapnel and rubbish surrounded by a haze of rapidly dissipating atmospheric gases, just like whatever it had been that he had mistakenly identified, as Boba Fett's ship Slave I. That the Hound would no longer be capable of maintaining its life-support systems wasn't Bossk's main concern at this moment, as the reptilian Trandoshan hastily shoved a few more essential items through the self-sealing gasket of a battered, much-used pressure duffel. There wouldn't even be any life for the systems to support: a small portion of the debris floating in the cold vacuum would be blood and bone and scorched scraps of body tissue, the rapidly chilling remains of the ship's captain. I'm outta here, thought Bossk; he slung the duffel's strap across his broad shoulder and dived for the equipment bay's hatch."
    • It's understandable why you didn't find this information, since I assume you only checked what linked to the duffel bag page and not duffel itself. But a pressure-sealed duffel bag is sufficiently Star Wars-unique enough to keep, with this missing information added. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:29, October 13, 2015 (UTC)
