I’m a child of the Nineties, which means I won’t hear a bad word said about the Star Wars prequels. So you can imagine my glee when I happened upon an Instagram Reel from the excellent Blue Moon Camera, which had come across a sealed Star Wars: Episode I Picture Plus Image 35mm Point and Shoot Film Camera by Tiger Electronics.
Star Wars nerds – like myself – will instantly recognize that the camera is modeled after the electrobinoculars that the battle droid commander, OOM-9, is seen using at the beginning of the climactic Battle for Naboo in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. But that’s not the only nod to the films.
