For the life of me, I can't think of the part - I think it's an imperial hoth greeblie. If it hasn't been identified - I may have an answer. Thanks to Halliwax's thread, I started looking up old soda makers. The charges are held in this thing, I think that's what's on the end of those hoses!

hell, lukes ROTJ V2 lever could be from a soda bottle, they're similar sizes.

Now I can't unsee that! :lol So is that a CO2 cartridge that goes in that part?

Correct! The "wings" are for screwing it into place, cockeyed usually, but there's a charge mount on most soda bottles. I can't unsee it either, kinda wishing Han Solos belt things were for making soda on the heads of imperial pilots.

now the trick is to find the correct model. And look out for other Star Wars parts.
 
If we search hard enough, I think we'd find these soda syphon parts used throughout the film.
Medical frigate is one, which I showed in another thread.
