New ESB & ROTJ Left Gauntlet Key Pad


What is a greebly? I would have hoped you would remember from earlier posts what it is. It simply is a term George Lucas coined as detail on a prop or costume that has no specific name. It's like calling it a what-cha-ma-call-it. This particular greeblie is a MQ1 Casio Calculator that was used on both the ESB and ROTJ costumes. Two parts from this calculator have been positively identified as being used on the original costume. The first part is the calculator button pad that is the detail on the left gauntlet.

The second is the circuit board of the calculator, which is seen in the key hole vents in the back of the helmet. This calculator is very rare and very collectible to Fett fans, as well as Casio collectors.
