An anti-static toolbox[1] was a type of white-colored box for storing tools. One side of the toolbox had a large square indent topped by a curved lip. The slave Anakin Skywalker kept an anti-static toolbox on a shelf next to the workbench in his bedroom, which was located in his home in the city of Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine. The toolbox was on the shelf[2] in 32 BBY,[3] when Skywalker showed Queen Padmé Amidala and the astromech droid R2-D2 the protocol droid he had been working on, C-3PO. Skywalker did not take the toolbox with him when he later left Tatooine to join the Jedi Order.[2]
