Blast doors on a Trade Federation starship
A blast door,[1] or shield door,[2] was a type of secured door[1] that was used in numerous types of facilities, including military installations[2] and starships.[3]
When the Trade Federation blockaded the planet Naboo, blast doors were used aboard their Droid Control Ships.[3]
During the Clone Wars, the Rishi Station on the Rishi Moon had blast doors that were infiltrated by the Separatist Alliance in a short battle.[4]
On a massive space station known as the Death Star—during the reign of the Galactic Empire—blast doors were used to secure the station's hangar bays.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The sound for the doors opening and closing was created via paper sliding into and out of an envelope.[5] The book Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy confirmed that "shield door" and "blast door" refer to the object by calling[6] the Echo Base shield doors[2] and Crait outpost shield door[7] blast doors.[6]
