A clothes steamer hisses as Yord Fandar uses it on his mission robes
Clothes steamers were devices with a steam head and a water bulb that were used to steam clothing. Manufactured by Ayelixe Fabrico, they were available during the High Republic Era, during which the Jedi Knight Yord Fandar traveled with one as part of a full tailoring kit. In 132 BBY, he used it to steam his mission robes on board the Polan-717 Jedi transport Polan GX-8 before departing on a mission to the planet Carlac.
Description
Clothes steamers were cylindrical gray devices manufactured by Ayelixe Fabrico for steaming clothing. A curved handle attached to the top of the cylinder with two green and one red button beneath it and in the center of the cylinder was a water bulb. A red band ran around the clyinder above its base and a steam head and nozzle were attached just below the band by a gray ridged tube.[1]
History
- "Yord. Put your clothes on."
- ―Jecki Lon chastises a shirtless Yord Fandar for using a clothes steamer
Yord Fandar traveled with a clothes steamer in his tailoring kit.
During the High Republic Era, the Jedi Knight Yord Fandar traveled with a clothes steamer as part of a full tailoring kit, as he was so particular about his appearance, he needed the ability to iron out any imperfections.[1] In 132 BBY,[3] after being assigned to a mission to arrest the former Jedi Verosha Aniseya on[2] the planet[1] Carlac, Fandar boarded the[2] Jedi Polan-717 Jedi transport Polan GX-8[1] at the Jedi Temple on the[2] planet[1] Coruscant and removed his mission robes to steam them with the clothes steamer.[2]
Jedi Master Sol and his Padawan, Jecki Lon, then came upon the shirtless Fandar in the process of steaming, causing the knight to quickly put the steamer's nozzle down and bow. Sol did not acknowledge Fandar's state of undress when speaking to him, but Lon chastised him for being shirtless.[2]
