Sam taking his family's Valyrian sword was significant. The theory is that it is the 'twin' of the sword that Jon Snow has. Sam's sword has been in the fam for 5 generations, just like Jon's who had previously belonged to the original Lord Commander in the 1st season.
Since Same is obvi a bitch and won't do much with it, Jon's soon-to-be-revealed twin will be the bearer of the sword. When Ned went to save his sister at the tower in the warg flashback, he was with a dude named Howland Reed (the one who stabbed the knight in the back to save Ned). When Ned runs upstairs, he finds his sister who just gave birth to twins. Ned takes Jon, calling him his own. Howland takes the other, who turns out to be Meera Reed, the girl dragging Bran around.
This then falls into line with the idea that Jon Snow (and now his twin sister) are half Stark and half Targaryen, able to ride dragons. Eventually they will have a reunion with Dany and it'll be game over for everybody else.
Jon, Daenerys, Meera riding dragons = world domination
Theory has been floating around for some time. They could certainly pull it off, these two look like they could be twins.
