I kinda caught the "other than lightsaber bug" after making my thermal detonator/communicator prop a few weeks back. So, I recently picked up a couple of vintage camera flashes on ebay.

One is a German E. Leitz Wetzlar pan Flash Gun c. 1950-59. Very similar to a Kobold only more narrow at the top.. I think this would be a good communicator, droid caller or detonator.

The other is an Argus flash handle c. 1939-66. This I actually think I can make a saber out of or, well, a light dagger.

I also have another Leitz and a vintage Nikonos coming.

While none of these showed up in the films afaik, they have that great Star Wars look to them. Should be fun little side projects.
