Okay I think I found the tube. :facepalm We just gotta order a bunch

Look at the rings but also the section where it connects to his mask. The smaller, thinner spirals are a dead on match.

put me down for some!!

I tried to send the supplier the following message but after ten tries to enter their, I'm not a robot code, I gave up.

"I have been searching forever for this exact hose. I know it sounds weird but it is the exact hose used on a Star Wars Prop. For the love of God I just need one. Maybe ten or so for my fellow movie prop fans.

Please advise."

I don't know if anyone else wants to take a shot.

We only need to buy 5,000

5,000.... wow.....

I don't know if the old threads are still in the database, but all this was well covered years ago, worth a search.

I think it was after Chris all but stopped updating Parts of Star Wars, though, so it's probably not there....

I found this in an antique shop. Do you think that I should buy it?

Most definitely! Even if you don't use the parts for a prop, you could possibly make a mold of the important parts and then cast them in resin and make a small profit lol

Usually if you have to buy in that many quantities they will send a couple samples for a small fee

That is a great idea but I can't seem to get the message to send. No matter how many times I enter their "I am not a robot" code it won't go.

There are a bunch on Ebay. I would wait until you find the one with the correct top.

I have to concede, the gas tank in Han's belt is an exact match for the Nitrous Oxide from the Archer microflame torch used by the jawas, not a soda one. Lonepigeon was right, I have a real torch here and the can is spot on.

I thought it was the Microflame piece years ago, but it is ABSOLUTELY a soda charge on Han's belt. Made by Sparklets. I bought a box of them a long time ago and sold off my spares.

Sorry I missed this thread until now. I'm not on here much.
I did know about the Sparklets soda siphon top and bulb holder used on the breathing canister.
I'm pretty certain the exact scuba mask strap is from a vintage Mares Ventosa mask (the box for which can be seen in behind the scenes prop workshop pics).
I looked into soda siphon levers for the Luke ROTJ V2 and never found a match.

I think someone already mentioned above that the sparklets siphon tops (two white ones) were also used on 2-1B's medical computer stand too.

Thank you Chris! Nice to see you on

One of the (very few!) perks of living in the UK is that we have LOADS of the correct vintage soda syphons on eBayUK. Picked this one up for £4:

And I looked this out from the back of a cupboard (I bought a pair years ago from an RPF member who was doing runs of the cast for the AT-AT helmet):

Vintage dive mask ordered from eBay. And Nebulizer mask. I'm HOPING that the nebulizer mask I receive actually looks like the one in the picture....

Ready to join the fun....

Howlrunner · Oct 10, 2016

So, reference images? These are the best that I've come across from the online Blu Ray gallery (cropped):

Bottle details:

Breath mask greeblie details:

The 2 above appear to have domed, almost hemispherical details either side of the nose, whereas on the one below they appear flat/stepped a bit like half a popper stud:

Does anyone else see that, or is it just me? Could be a trick of the lighting if the piece is made from transparent plastic? Or different greeblies were used on the two (Han and Leia) masks, which were mixed up between takes by the actors?

Halliwax · Oct 10, 2016

i see domes for sure on leia's
