TPM and The Mandalorian: N1 Starfighter Dashboard Parts ID

[dindjarin22]

A few starfighter control dashboards have been on my mind lately and wondering if anyone has ID'd any of the push buttons/toggle switches seen.

Specifically the ignition (looks to be the same between TPM and Mando), the 4-prong red-ish looking toggle switches seen more clearly in TPM, and the steering handles (different between the two?)

Happy to discuss any other parts seen as well. Thanks!

Glad to see some love for this Cockpit, it's one of my favourites!

Me too! I was surprised to not find anything on it

this is discussed a little bit on Tom's thread here, but not a lot of parts have been identified yet I think. it will help you a bit though:

Episode 1 Phantom Menace Plug and Control Panel Thread

Episode 1 was.. well it feels like the last SW movie that used a decent amount of found parts for set decoration. I went through screencaps for other reasons and thought I'd start another thread. This one for Episode 1. (By the way, we still need to identify a whole bunch from the OT guys!)...

I think some of the flick switches came from a Fiat Uno or maybe having one for a while told the kids that or I might be getting mixed up with his a podracer :/

I think that specific panel came out of the Uno (podracer) but they could’ve swiped more, I’d have to check the rest of the uno dash

Yes that certainly looks familiar..

Oh yeah that’s the pod racer

In THIS cockpit I would love to ID the red gang switches and the main push button ignition. The washer around the top of the joystick looks aircraft stick to me…

I noticed shortly after posting that the red gang switches look to be just 4 individual toggle switches with the red plastic cover connecting them. Allowing to flip them all at once. My question is, is that a practical application for a real found part (flipping multiple switches at once) or something they probably did themselves

actually... are we sure?

I do see the separate bezels, but I also see separate plastic handles on each. If it was a set of switches, there could be a bar behind the plate, this is something I imagine the set decorators wouldn't bother designing from scratch.

Ooo you’re right. I went back and watched the scene again. He only touches the 2 switches to the right tho and all move. So that would imply it’s something going on behind the panel
