I think it's the other way around... Graflex modeled their flash handles after Luke's lightsaber, while windsheild wiper manufacturers saw those grips and thought, "Hey, those look like they'd be really good at wiping away water!"

I know you're joking, but weren't those Graflex handles manufactured in the 1920s or earlier?

The story is that the production company hired an outfit in Mexico to save money. The actors didn't actually see the monster until the finished film. They were reported to have been very unhappy.

My contribution is from Dr. Who....Plain green bubblewrap and nothing else
The Majority of costumes and props from star trek tos were pretty bad. I guess any of the Godzilla early movie full city props were pretty bad most of the armies he crushed are available in the dollar stores. then again I can picture some but can`t recall the names of the movies. the stuff in the movie The Stuff lol Eating yogurt = Mindless slaves.

I have gazed upon the gloriness of b-movie props. And I shall never return nor regret it. Some of these had me laughing hard.
I'm a big fan of Star Wars but I had to admit it, Princess Amidala has terrible haircuts/wigs xD
For some reasons I love their costumes xD

She doesn't look very happy, does she? Perhaps that's why ...

Firearms in space make practical sense. Exploding gunpowder can be used in hard vacuum because gunpowder produces its own oxygen. As long as its a closed cartridge, it will fire. Flintlocks, and percussion therefore, make little sense offworld.
Old west guns in a space frontier setting also makes perfect sense. They are designs that are proven to work, and they might not have access to expensive, advanced or automatic weapons that would be more available on core worlds.
Comparing the LeMat to the Mauser Broomhandle is apples and oranges. They're both unique guns and no amount of dressing up will change that. Your preference of one or the other is directly proportionate to the fandom you support.
I am in no way a Star Wars fan. My reasons for not being one are mostly the fans. That said, I have no quarrel whatsoever with any fan, or fandom on this board. I came here to learn, and share.

Ugliest costume? I think the male miniskirt from the first season of TNG was ugly.

I can't agree. I thought that an excellent job was done conveying her look as an Empress. The outfits have a cohesive look to them which is reminiscent of a Chinese empress. I've always loved Queen Amidala's wardrobe. :thumbsup

Is it just me, or is there a conundrum in there somewhere?
