An alternate idea...
Since they had so many Michell sweep arm parts perhaps the top of the 'jet pack tool' is one of the taller sweep arm bases upside down.
If you look closely at the Fett pic below it looks like there might be a lip/edge in between the pocket edge and the top of the 'jet pack tool'.
The sweep arm base has a thin lip around the bottom edge and a thin recessed white felt ring. OD is approx. 1 inch.
I'm not positive on this one, but it looks like a contender.
Proportions seem to match up pretty well.

Chris, that is a fascinating alternate idea!!! I will have to check my sweep arm bases when I get home! If it is a sweep arm, it would still have to be jammed into something of like dimension in my opinion as most of the poclet is filled. But great job thinking in a different direction!

Hey Art.. based on the conversations you and I've had in regards to the S-Trooper... I don't think what Wes I.D'd is correct.
Let me see what I can do.

That looks like a good possiblity lonepigeon, but I would agree that the pocket looks full, like it's the same diameter all the way down...like it's stuck into a mic similar to the ones that have been looked at thus far...maybe...if there's one that is the same diameter as the sweep arm base...
Looking forward to Spidey's input....

Just went back to the supertrooper video with Ben Burt. Check this out. Looks like it knocks the Shure microphone out of the running (no etched lines) as well as the sweep arm base (too short). I still think Wes was on the right track with a microphone, but clearly we haven't found it yet...

The length and width does lend itself to being some sort of mic along the same type as the ones that have been posted so far. Again I'm wondering if there is a connection between this piece and the top of the jetpack beacon, or the whole thing for that matter.

That's a much clearer shot... your right that the sweep arm is now out the park. the hunt continues. :wacko
Be interested to see what Alex can throw into the pot?
Working on it.
Perfect shot Art..

The list refers to a Torch that was purchased, have that been linked to another area of the suit already? Could be a lead?
Some of us believe the "torch" is the little flashlight type light in the end of the right gauntlet.

Had a quick look and turned this up. Not anywhere near as close as the mic, but similar dimensions etc.

Those pictures of the ST make it look like it fills the entire pocket from top to bottom. Some of the pictures of the prepro suits and the cardboard standee I have make it look a little shorter than the ST pics. Just an observation.
I was wondering if it was a flashlight/torch with a push button on the endcap? That could explain the red we see in some pics.

I did a quick runthrough of the penlights and some others at flashlightmuseam.com and I am leaning more towards a mic similar to what has been posted rather than a flashlight/torch.

could the red end be more of an orange color? I haven't seen the pics that you are refering to so I could be way off base on that, but I found this on E-bay. It's an AKG C-61/CK-28 Tube Mic. The seller has TONS of vinatage mics in his store.

Just started looking at the HD screencaps from ESB; do we know what the things in the straps around the bottom of Bossk's space suite are. There's one missing from his right (screen left) "ankle"
and in some of the shots the bottoms look slotted similar to some of the mics that have been posted...

looks like a good possibility, but looking at the pic of the supertrooper with the piece sticking out farther it looks like its all one dimension at least as far down as what is sticking out of the pocket. Nothing that has been posted thus far has been that way. Of course that could be a trick of the lighting/low res of the video. But judging by the prepro pic volkerc posted that the pocket is "full" only about halfway down the pocket so that shure mic is a good possibility.

volkerc; I agree that what you suggest is a good candidate. The lip under the top part would explain how the tool is able to stay stuck up in the pocket. If there was no lip and the part was shorter than the pocket, wouldnt it just slide down? But I havent researched this part at all so I dont know the rough size and shape very well. But it looks good to me...
