But does it open up upon contact like the one in the movie does?

Compared to this piucture, that auction looks way off scale....  but its a cool idea for a prop, and hasnt been done before... |

yeah, the one in the auction definately doesn't match the proportions of that pic... is that of the screen used prop?
Also, I forgot how it opened up... anyone capable of taking large sized screenshots wanna help out?

Dang! I had a whole string of photos showing exactly frame-by-frame how the homing beacon unfolded, however I deleted most of them to save space. I did save a couple. Here's a good one:  I planned on making this prop myself (it would open up in four sections just like in the movie), but never got around to it. Hope this helps.  |

That one on e-bay looks like it's made from a tinker-toy!

That's a great shot, I'd be interested in any of the other images you may have saved... That would be enough to go off, I just need something for scale.

Hi Don, I have to work today until 6pm. After I get back I'll re-take some screenshots for you (it only takes a few minutes- no big deal). I remember there is a good one of Obi holding it between his fingers just before he throws it. That should give you some scale. |

Perfect! It looks to be the size and shape of a make-up compact... sounds like a good palce to start looking for parts to make one  |

a compact probably would work pretty well, but how would you get it to fold out like that
