"Keep your nose out of it. If you want it to stay attached to your face."
―A Weequay threatens Asajj Ventress[1]
The nose of human Han Solo

The nose of human smuggler Han Solo

A nose was part of the anatomy of some species that was used to breathe[2] and smell. Some species, such as Bith,[3] Duros,[4] Kallidahins,[2] Neimoidians,[5] and Quermians lacked noses,[6] though Bith were still able to smell using special organs beneath the skin flaps on their faces,[3] as could Quermians using olfactory glands in their hands. Some beings, like Chieftain Gruppe[6] and Jedi Knight Rooper Nitani[7], also pierced their noses and inserted jewelry in the hole.

A human parent could pass on the shape of their nose to their offspring – Ben Solo had the same pronounced nose as his father Han Solo.[8]
