As you can see above, the user has attempted to equip a DY-225 blaster. As soon as you click on the item then various locations on the equipment screen will be outlined in blue. These are valid places where the item can be placed. In this case both hand slots are highlighted and the Drop Box. The right slot refers to your primary equipment slot, the item you will use first in a combat situation. The left hand is your secondary slot and will be a backup option. Alternatively if an item requires two hands it may appear to be in both hands simultaneously. It could also be put into the Drop Box which will drop the item on the floor for collection. If the above example also had any storage locations equipped like a belt or backpack then you may also be able to attempt to drop the item inside there.
