Some of the most futuristic items in the Star Wars films were made from strange materials. Like Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, which was actually the handle of an old camera flash, or the medical droid's mouthpiece in Empire Strikes Back, which was simply an old-school microphone. But our favorite piece of prop deception comes from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. You probably didn't think twice about the communicators used by Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). However, if you did, you may have noticed that they are designed just like a Gillette razor.
