Garbage masher 3263827

"One thing's for sure. We're all gonna be a lot thinner!"

- Han Solo

Garbage masher 3263827 was one of the many garbage compactors aboard the Galactic Empire's DS-1 platform, better known as the Death Star. Upon freeing Princess Leia Organa from the Death Star's Detention Level, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker were temporarily stranded inside that garbage masher, along with the princess. They were attacked by a carnivorous dianoga, and they nearly died when masher's walls started to close in order to compress the waste it contained. However, Skywalker's droids C-3PO and R2-D2, who had remained behind in safety, managed to disable all garbage compactors on the detention level of the Death Star, thus saving the rescue team from a gruesome death.
