Clone Wars Jedi wrist communicator

[DarkarNights]

Has anyone else noticed that the Jedi wrist communicators used by Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan in the CGI Clones Wars series look almost identical to TCSS switch boxes with an illuminated anti vandal button?

don't really watch it that much, so couldn't help you there. :P

[DarkarNights]

Wasn't asking for help, just making an observation for anyone looking to make a replica for a costume.

you better post pics! maybe build log?

[chriswin8]

If i decided to take on the project i will don't worry. Perhaps we will all be using them someday. LOL

I will check it out. I love the Clone Wars. and think it has kept alive the spirit of the original trilogy really nicely (I say 'spirit' , not 'continuity') Some episodes are miniature movies (IMHO) and I would recommend them to anyone who still wants a fix of Star Wars goodness, but maybe considers the format not canon enough.

You know, I haven't seen much of the series and I don't have a clear picture in my head of the communicators... tried to Google it but the signal to noise ratio is bad. Anyone have pics of the communicator?

Here is a pic of Obi Wan showing the device:

Ahhh thanks.

From a distance the button looks just like an AV switch when lit up. Close up they look like this: http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s437/DarkarNights/th_574e937d.jpg (http://s1051.photobucket.com/albums/s437/DarkarNights/?action=view&current=574e937d.jpg)
I've noticed they lite up different colors for each character also.

That would be a very interesting build if someone has the guts to make it. Would definitely polish off a fancy Jedi outfit.

[JediMasterTim]

wow, looks similar to an ignition switch on a saber. lol sweet! haha :P and sorry, just a figure of expression, I really don't know much about any of this stuff, so really couldn't actually help anyone. lol

I'm wondering if a watch battery would have the juice to light an Anti Vandal?

there are the 1/2size photo batteries @ 1.5 v each

Doing a search I found Energizer Watch Batteries 2016 3V Lithium-Ion :cool:

It looks to me like you might have enough room for a 14500 batt, lengthways at least. Although running a line to this box under a costume would be no problem. If a speaker would fit you could even have a small 'card recorder' (about $10), sequestered away with different sounds, or voices from the Clone Wars. "Sector 17 safe and clear General" ha ha

.......You're so right... Set mind to blown.

Haha, what I can't figure out, is how were the clones even trained to know about order 66 when they had Jedi Master Shaak Ti stationed on Kamino overseeing their training?

genetic programming. Or my favorite, in their warning orders before the conflict began. (after they left genosia)
