In Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, what is Qui-Gon Jinn's communicator prop made out of?

The answer is: Women’s Razor. Qui-Gon Jinn’s communicator in A Phantom Menace is really made out of a redecorated Gillette Sensor Excel Razor for women. Despite mixed reactions from critics, and a complicated legacy from fans, Episode 1 was an undeniable sensation that earned over one billion dollars at the global box office. You'd think they could have afforded to build their own prop, but hey, it works.Source
