'''Macrobinoculars''' were a small, handheld device that could allow a user to view distant objects from afar. They could make objects appear closer and even look into space, as [[Biggs Darklighter]] did after [[Luke Skywalker]] claimed he had seen a [[Secret mission to Tatooine|battle]] over Tatooine.<ref name="Biggs Databank">{{Databank|biggs-darklighter|Biggs Darklighter|archivedate=20170605084328}}</ref> Contrary to [[monocular]]s and [[telescope]]s, macrobinoculars produced three-dimensional images.<ref>''[[Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia]]''</ref>

'''Macrobinoculars''' were a type of [[electrobinoculars]] that allowed a user to view distant objects.

  +
==Description==
  +
[[File:BlyPhaseI-SWBC53.png|thumb|left|220px|Clone Commander Bly's helmet incorporated a retractable macrobinoculars.]]
  +
An electronic optical device, macrobinoculars allowed users to observe from afar, and provided additional information on the distance and altitude of the object under observation.<ref name="Geektionary">''[[Star Wars: Geektionary: The Galaxy from A - Z]]''</ref> Its [[heads-up display]] identified limited data including range and zoom.<ref name="TVE">''[[Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia]]''</ref> Some models were fitted with optics equipped with a recording system, allowing users to select pictures to be saved, though macrobinoculars lacked the processors built into [[electrobinoculars]] to rework and improve the picture. The [[MB450 macrobinoculars]] could also be used at night.<ref name="Geektionary" /> Unlike other magnifying devices like [[monocular]]s and [[telescope]]s, macrobinoulars produced three-dimensional images.<ref name="TVE" />
  +
  +
==History==
  +
Macrobinoculars were common among [[farmer]]s, [[Hunting|hunters]], and less advanced militaries.<ref name="TVE" />
  +
  +
[[Gungan]]s used [[Farseein]] binoculars with a handgrip, oil magnifier lenses, and dials to adjust focus.<ref name="TVE" />
  +
  +
[[Luke Skywalker]] owned a pair of macrobinoculars on [[Tatooine]], and used them to scan the perimeter of the [[Lars homestead]] for dangers.<ref name="TVE" /> [[Biggs Darklighter]] used Skywalker's macrobinoculars to peer into the skies over Tatooine after his friend reported sighting a [[Secret mission to Tatooine|battle]] overhead. Darklighter was skeptical, and only saw two [[starship]]s sitting there.<ref name="Biggs Databank">{{Databank|biggs-darklighter-biography-slideshow|Biggs Darklighter Biography Slideshow}}</ref>

[[File:MacrobinocularsPropKenobi.png|thumb|right|300px|Macrobinoculars prop used in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'']]
  +
Macrobinoculars first appeared in the [[1977]] film [[Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope|''Star Wars'': Episode IV ''A New Hope'']], the first installment of the ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[original trilogy]].<ref name="Episode IV">{{Film|IV}}</ref>
  +
  +
During production of the [[Obi-Wan Kenobi (television series)|''Obi-Wan Kenobi'']] television series, the prop making team made a macrobinocular prop that was used in the series.<ref name="Props">{{ThisWeek|5dYCIFU5q6Y|Obi-Wan Kenobi Props, LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation, and More!|sw_url=video/obi-wan-kenobi-props-lego-star-wars-summer-vacation-and-more}}</ref>

"Are your scopes Jedi-issue, sir?"
"Stay focused, Fives."
―Fives and Anakin Skywalker, during the Battle of Ringo Vinda[2]

Macrobinoculars were a type of electrobinoculars that allowed a user to view distant objects.

Description[]

BlyPhaseI-SWBC53

Clone Commander Bly's helmet incorporated a retractable macrobinoculars.

An electronic optical device, macrobinoculars allowed users to observe from afar, and provided additional information on the distance and altitude of the object under observation.[3] Its heads-up display identified limited data including range and zoom.[4] Some models were fitted with optics equipped with a recording system, allowing users to select pictures to be saved, though macrobinoculars lacked the processors built into electrobinoculars to rework and improve the picture. The MB450 macrobinoculars could also be used at night.[3] Unlike other magnifying devices like monoculars and telescopes, macrobinoulars produced three-dimensional images.[4]

History[]

Macrobinoculars were common among farmers, hunters, and less advanced militaries.[4]

Gungans used Farseein binoculars with a handgrip, oil magnifier lenses, and dials to adjust focus.[4]

Luke Skywalker owned a pair of macrobinoculars on Tatooine, and used them to scan the perimeter of the Lars homestead for dangers.[4] Biggs Darklighter used Skywalker's macrobinoculars to peer into the skies over Tatooine after his friend reported sighting a battle overhead. Darklighter was skeptical, and only saw two starships sitting there.[5]
