Angel borrowing Vader's stuff?

[Bluewolf]

While watching the fourth episode (Hell Bound; 39m 17s) of season five of Angel I noticed this little part. I recognized it as a part used on Vader's belt. Question is; is it a found part, or is Joss' team finding one more way to put Star Wars into the show?

That's GOT to be a homage to SW. As far as I know, the buckle is / was a machined part rather than a real-world 'found' item.

Well spotted.

I seem to recall a similar thread here just last year. It certainly wasn't news to me and I'm not a Vader costumer and I have never seen a single episode of Buffy and its ilk.

If I recall that discussion it was another nod to the SW franchise by Joss Whedon, and the likely supplier of the buckle was identified based on some of the tells.
