Imagecaster/Legends

The Imagecaster was a personal holoprojector produced by SoroSuub Corporation at some point prior to the Battle of Naboo. These devices were commonly carried by members of the Jedi Order during the time of the Galactic Republic.

The Imagecaster, a hand-held, disk-shaped hologram projection device, was comprised of three curved arms fitted to a grilled projector plate. The arms could be deployed to stand the Imagecaster on a level surface. The device could hold up to a hundred minutes' worth of images, though it was unable to send or recieve transmissions&mdash;requiring the Imagecaster to be connected to another transmission device to download images. It could also be connected to two comlinks for psudeo-real-time, face-to-face communication.

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn carried an Imagecaster with him on his mission to Naboo in 32 BBY. He later used the device to project an image of Queen Amidala's J-Type 327 Nubian royal starship while bargaining with Watto to obtain a T-14 hyperdrive generator.
