I was trying to think of any moment in Star Wars canon where a stimpack or medkit were used?

I am not saying they shouldn't be part of the game, after all, PCs would not last long without them! I am just curious if they are actually seen in any scene?

Stimpacks are at least once in TCW as I recall.

We see the Bacta tank.

In this shot on the medical frigate we see 'stuff' in a couple trays that I assume constitutes medical kit stuff.

Resistance doc working on Chewie with more medic stuff.

Clone Wars stimpack scene is in Season 2 Episode 5 at about the 10:30 mark.

I've never seen anything resembling a stimpak in any of the Star Wars movies, cartoons, comics, or books.

So I'd say no. However, I'm not willing to part with them for the RPG.

Obi Wan receives what I assume would be a stimpack in Season 2 Episode 5 with a Clone Trooper treating him after he was injured in the crash landing.

Though I can't think off hand of any instances of actual use in any of the EU/Legends books I've read so far, emergency medpacs are mentioned several times.

It's much harder to find references to stimpacks, but stimpacks fit the setting in that they are logical extrapolation of technology that would be available given other well-established technologies, such as bacta. Put bacta, some heavy pain killers, and maybe some adrenaline together in a single-use injectable and you've a got a stimpack.

Technically, bathrooms aren't canon in Star Wars or even most media in the form of movies. That you don't see it on screen doesn't mean something like it doesn't exist. Given that "wounds" aren't the actual injuries, like broken bones or torn muscles, but more like a form of physical fatigue (muscles getting tired from being stressed), lots of things could be a "stimpack" to counter that. Pop open a soda and chug it back; Take a hit off an inhaler to get a dose of epinephrine; Down a gatorade to get back some "lost" electrolytes (even though the drink is really just sugar water, heheh); etc...

Strain is similar to wounds in that it isn't actual damage, but a different form of fatigue (mental instead of physical). So, wounds would be like the marathon runner pushing themselves so hard that eventually their body, no matter what the mind says, just gives up and won't respond. Strain is like trying to stay awake for 5 days straight and still be able to think and act coherently, or seeing just how much you can drink in one sitting and passing out from too much, heheh.

Not really. The benefit of our-ingame stimpacks is the easy of use with just a maneuver and the instantaneous effect. The stimpack in clone wars has the easy to use, but does not seem to work instantaneous, even when we see Obi-Wan some time later back on his feet.

Furthermore, they do not inject him just 5 in that encounter to bring him back to full.
So if someone really has issues with them, make them once per encounter and remove the reduction in efficiency.

Wel, actually, there is a scene in Rebels set in a refresher, so yes, there are bathrooms in SW canon.

Injections aren't necessarily stimpacks.

Instant healing potions aren't anything like the movies. Injuries are significant.

Wookieepedia can't seem to list anything but Legends sources, so while we see a lot of potential stimpaks, I don't think we've seen a definitive example.

Funny enough are all those "sources" are games. RPGs

I'm reading Phasma, and I just read a scene where after Phasma has her face beat on by a bruiser, Hux injects her with something such that her bruises are rapidly healed. They didn't call it a stimpack (so far - more book to read), but the POV character doesn't know what it was and wouldn't know a stimpack from a multivitamin shot anyways. So maybe they're semi-canonical?
