A noeu sphere racquet[1] was a type of silver-colored device consisting of a handle[2] attached to a scoop.[3] The slave Anakin Skywalker kept a noeu sphere racquet in his bedroom, which was located at his home in the city of Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine.[2] Skywalker sometimes left the racquet on his bed,[3] but in 32 BBY,[4] had it leaned against the wall by the bed when he showed Queen Padmé Amidala and the astromech droid R2-D2 the protocol droid C-3PO, whom he had been building. When leaving Tatooine to join the Jedi Order, Skywalker did not pack the racquet.[2]
