- ―Doctor Rhasiv shines a light pen in Ulaf's eyes
Light pens[2] were a piece of medical equipment that could be used to shine a targeted light at a patient. They consisted of a silver rod with the light source at one end and a square head marked by blue lights at the other. The pen made a beeping noise when turned on.[1] In 5 BBY,[3] Doctor Rhasiv, a medical technician at an Imperial Prison Complex[1] on the moon[4] Narkina 5, carried a light pen as part of his medical kit. He used the pen while examining the prisoner Ulaf, shining it in Ulaf's eyes to try and get a reaction; however, as Ulaf had suffered a massive stroke, there was no reaction, and Rhasiv ultimately euthanized the patient.[1]
Behind the scenes
In the current Star Wars canon, a light pen appeared in "Nobody's Listening!," the ninth episode of the Disney+ television series Star Wars: Andor,[1] which aired on November 2, 2022.[5] The item's name is not spoken in the episode, but is given in the audio description.[2]
