As I was looking through stormtrooper accessories and such I came across the combat de-ionizer...

 

-------

 

From the Star Wars Wikia: Combat de-ionizers counteracted the effects of ionic energy. They were often part of the Stormtrooper utility belt tools.

* Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary

 

I don't recall ever seeing this accessory on any stormtrooper. But there it is in the Visual Dictionary. The questions are obvious ones, I suppose...

 

* Does anyone have one of these?

* If so, where did it come from?

* Where would this accessory be kept? It says they were part of the Stormtrooper utility belt tools so we understand that it goes on the belt somehow, somewhere.

* Any ideas what in the world this thing was originally?

 

Though I'm not a 501st member I assume that this accessory isn't a necessary part of the stormtrooper presentation and it's likely not even an accepted or recognized accessory. This could make for a good discussion, though.

And here I thought we were talking about Febreze...

 

There's a lot of dross on that wiki - take it all with a grain of salt.

Granted.

 

If it is in the Visual Dictionary, though, does that make it a canon accessory?

Good to know. If it's not seen on-screen it doesn't count, then.

the visual dictionaries are in my list of wrongs on the starwars universe.

 

there´s just so much crap in them... stuff that the guy writing it just had no idea what it was and just invented the explanation on the spot.

 

I´m not joking, check the explanation for R2 D2´s parts on the episode 1 visual dictionary for one of the most ridiculous examples.

 

 

look at what they did with the Mandalorians after so much effort was placed By K. Traviss on the race´s past, shape, dynamics, culture and character... and now they´re supposed to be a pacific race that has nearly dissapeared from the galaxy?

 

i mean... c´mon! I would´ve kicked the guy who wrote that and many other things into the middle of next week!

 

 

 

 

the idea of a de-ionizer is cool though.... :P
