Seeds were part of the process of reproduction for plants, as plants sprouted seeds that would develop into new plants.[2] They would lying dormant in the ground, waiting for the next rainfall, when they would burst into life.[3] The plant-like sentient Drengir creatures were spawned from seeds.[4] Seeds were contained in fruits,[5] and were a source of nutrition, especially on harsh planets like the swampy Dagobah, as they contained vitamins and minerals essential for survival.[6] Certain farmers would cultivate their crops by sowing seeds into the soil.[7] Birdseeds were seeds used for feeding birds: Nash Durango attempted to drive a flock of firehawks away from her garage using birdseed, but her efforts were unsuccessful.[8]
During the Imperial Era, Jedi Master–in–exile Yoda grew his foodstuff from seeds on Dagobah.[9] Yoda gathered galla seeds from areas surrounding his hut on the planet Dagobah, storing them within his dwelling's central column.[10]
For self-preservation, the Force-sensitive Syla Trasker followed her instincts and slipped a dolina ring seed onto her thumb, which filled her with the energy of the Living Force. The life energy gave Trasker a burst of speed, which saved her from the Imperial Inquisitorius.[11]
The saying "a burr seed in bantha dung" was used to describe something that was hard to find.[12]
Behind the scenes
The saying "a burr seed in bantha dung"[12] is similar to the real-world idiom "a needle in a haystack."[13]
