Unsolved Star Wars Prop Mysteries

[kurtyboy]

I can think of a list as long as my arm but I'll just keep it to my ANH Hero Trio costumes:

Han's battery-like belt tools
Han's belt disc (headphone speaker?)
Luke and Leia's boots (tThey look 'off the shelf')

The insides of the ANH Obi emitter and how it was connected to the grenade stem.

I thought that was IDed as a phonograph needle housing.

Unfortuantely, that is kinda like the obi-wan lawnemower gear... just a theory. It is true that some record player heads do look similar to the Fett Rangefinder, but a match has never been found...

I would like to know who used this gun? And where?

Anyone??

 

[Art Andrews]

I believe that is Bib Fortuna's pistol

 

[Coinprop]

Do You have any pictures with him holding it or something??

 

[Art Andrews]

Parts of SW

I think Parts of SW has about all the info we know. If I am not mistaken, BAlinger owns the actual gun.

 

[Coinprop]

Ok, thanks.

Isn't it amazing that many of the items on this old "wish list" have now been Identified?
Especially the Boba related stuff.

 

[sskunky]

Do we have any more info ? It would be nice to re start this old thread.......

And the carbonite block panels!

Even the spacetrooper backpack! (prettymuch)

This is an old thread I don't mind seeing bumped up.

 

[sskunky]

Funnily enough I just got an old Michell turntable that contains greeblies from the Vader reveal, Boba fett, Tie helmet amongst others.....and an old Telefunken Reel to Reel tape player for the Vader belt box mesh......my living room has gone back in time as far as hi-fi equipment is concerned...:lol

Huh? Did I miss something? Would you mind to share?


Not a prop (but a miniature, which is kind of a prop as well... you know what I mean), but do we know what ILM used for Needa's shuttle?

Checking HD stills from TESB made clear they used some TIE with panels bent outwards only. But those screenshots are too blurry... you cannot tell whether it was a customized bomber, a MPC Vader (my bet) or whatever.

Is there any backstage info (like the shot of the shelf with the probot pod, shield generators etc.) from the archives?

Cheers,
Falk

If you missed it I missed it too, I know someone had narrowed it down but as to what he narrowed it down to I don't have a clue.

I'm going to apologise now because this is prequel but I'd just like to know whether the back of the Coruscant firefighters' helmet is one helmet or if it has another stacked on top of it.

That would be this thread: http://www.therpf.com/f9/spacetrooper-backpack-found-new-pics-added-25421/

Not EXACTLY found but way closer than when this thread started.

 

[Montagar]

Well let's post items that still haven't been identified and I will create a first post for the thread that will contain a list of all of the items.

I'll start off with one that I have been trying to track down for years. :lol

The dome top on the droid caller.

 

[Pappy]

The dome top on the droid caller.

From that angle it looks like a cone adapter,got anymore pics?

 

[Cameron]

I always thought the dome on the Kobold might be a Flash Bulb Diffuser. A vintage one of course. I believe the older ones were metal and fit over the top half of the bulb in the flash handle.

Here is an example of a newer one.
Filter Set for Digital Bare Bulb Slave Flash - RS-3153
