Rafa's Laundry was an aboveboard business located^[2] on the planet^[3] Coruscant on Level 1313 of the underworld.^[1] It offered dry cleaning, washing, folding and drop-off, and was open 24 hours a day. Mirror-inverted signage that stated the business location and opening hours, also mentioned something called "kaashmi clean."^[4] Owned by Rafa Martez during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Separatist Alliance,^[1] who obtained the business through gambling,^[5] the laundromat was utilized to keep the citizens of the Coruscant Underworld in a better state of appearance. However, the facility was also utilized as a front for Martez's illegal jobs,^[2] such as with the Twi'lek Lokann.^[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Among the Aurebesh signage at Rafa's Laundry is "CALRISSIAN FR[obscured]" – "SO FRESH SO [obscured]," seemingly a nod to Lando Calrissian (who, like Rafa Martez,^[1] deals in gambling^[6]). A sticker on a washing machine says "LANDOMAT," seemingly a pun on "Lando" and "laundromat."^[1]
