Need help: which greebly(ies) for Fett ROTJ jetpack?

[chris2fett]

Working on my MOW jetpack now. The underside of the ROTJ jetpack has a push button type switch on the right, and an open rectangular area on the left or a poorly photographed/darkened rectangular covering (at least, the past 25+ years where one of the hero jetpacks has been seen on display).

1) What is the dark rectangular area on the left? Is there a connector covering the area... if so, which one(s)?

2) What is the correct "switch" to purchase for the right side? It's centered in a hex nut, which I assume is an original part of the switch.

3) Ancillary question: I believe there were 2 stunt and 2 known hero ROTJ jetpacks, correct? Depending on the photo(s) I've seen, the central circular vent area is either one piece with the lateral plates (as seen below), OR the circular vent disk is a separate piece (as mine is). In the pic below, the central vent slots are horizontal, but I have ALSO seen the slits running vertical. I'm assuming horizontal is the "correct" orientation? ALSO: is the vent supposed to be yellow, or metallic in color? I can't tell from the photos I have seen. Could go either way.

Thanks in advance for the assistance!

The tape is covering a 3 pin XRL port similar to this image:

A female 90 degree plug was inserted and looks something similar to this:

The switch can be replicated by a push switch from Ace…I’ll have to get a picture but Neo Fett discussed it in the past…

I have found some decently easy to acquire parts that replicate the ROTJ XLR port and button fairly well.

There are no photos of the XLR port on the ROTJ pack, but we have a picture of something plugged in there as well as an XLR port on a stunt pack. So at some point during filming whatever was there fell out. (Someone please correct me if I am wrong)
Based on that, I tried to replicate the XLR port the stunt pack has and found this: Amazon.com: Neutrik NC3MP-B Panel Mount Male XLR Connector Black Gold Contacts: Musical Instruments

Thread 'ROTJ Jetpack Greeblie Discussion'

May 29, 2021

Hello My Fellow Fetts,
I looked around and wanted to get thoughts on the ROTJ Greeblies I know many of these Greeblies are not even seen when the Jetpack is worn. But there is one piece that I've seen quite a bit of difference on and am looking to hear from the forum on thoughts. I'll be putting these greeblies on a Boba Maker ROTJ Jetpack that is on order and should be in my possession within a couple months. (Ordered Mid-January 2021)

I'm still keen on getting a set of Machine Craft Replica's Disc Thrusters, but as it turns out he is not taking on any new orders at...

Yup, that’s the button! Every Ace around me has it in stock.

I used the parts mentioned by budafett and Neoprop for my 7CS jetpack, it should look something like this. There was only one Hero JP

If you also plan on getting the other greeblies on the backside, the MOW pack area is a little too small. You will need to make a compromise like I did seen here:


I had to turn the center greeblie 90 degrees.

I painted this MOW jetpack about 8 years ago. I think it’s about time for a repaint…
