Ok - I know it was never seen on the screen but hey - I had an idea and rolled with it. I bought a couple droid callers on the RPF and 1 was hollow. So I started to play and figure out how to get sound into it - then I started thinking - how bout I put a Covertec on this bad boy and see how it looks. I ran the idea by a few people and they thought it would be both cool and different to see a Jedi carrying a Droid Caller - so I did it. Here are the pics: www.saberbelt.com/CustomDroidCaller.htmlWhat do you guys think? I know my current costume does not fit into the requirements of the JA because it is black and grey - but I think this will look sweet on my belt. Enjoy Dave |

I like it, I think it really blends some of the hadware elements from the Original Trilogy to the Prequel Trilogy. I look forward to seeing on a costume  |

As I recall, it's seen in both Luke's & 3PO's hands at points not to far apart. 3PO also picks it up off of a counter to prevent a ST from seeing it in the same scene.

The thing 3P0 grabs is a comlink   The droid caller is on Lukes belt and uses it to find 3P0 in the garage when R2 runs off. Also seen on Hans belt.   |

That's really cool! Never seen onscreen? It LOOKS like the thing Luke used........ right? Very close actually - when I got the hollow caller it was in bad need of a paint job for what I wanted to do. If I would have left it alone and not painted it, put on the dished covertec, or wire it for sound it would have been just about dead on to what Luke and Han carry. As I recall, it's seen in both Luke's & 3PO's hands at points not to far apart. 3PO also picks it up off of a counter to prevent a ST from seeing it in the same scene. You are thinking of the Storm Trooper Comlink that 3PO picked up in the Death Star - I have a couple of those too - they look really cool. Picked them up on the RPF and took 1 hour to put them together. Here is the link to the pics: www.saberbelt.com/OTComlink.htmlI still have a solid droid caller that I am not entirely sure what I am gonna do with yet. I was looking to get a couple more hollow ones to see if I can customize them as well. Guess I will have to wait and see if the caller in Park's kit is going to be hollow or not. I think I will shoot another email to the person who had them and see if they are still for sale and hollow........ My only complaint is that the sound is quiet - cool - but quiet. I have to find another way around that...... Dave |
