The Mystery of the Lightsaber Belt-clip!

I'm not sure if anyone else had noticed this or not, but I have been watching the prequels recently, and I noticed something about the belt-clips for the lightsabers. This is an odd little thing to pick up, but here goes...Anyone ever notice how the belt-clips in the prequels are your typical cell-phone belt-clip and in the originals they use D-rings? This is just one of those odd things...wonder why they switched to D-rings (storyline wise I mean, I know why in real life )? No cell phones on Tatooine I guess?

 

Well Maul had a magnet for his saber

 

Ah, this is true...I forgot about Maul's!

EDIT: Obix: Thanks for the heads up on that, my friend and I were sure it was cell-phone clips...which is what we used on our costumes!

 

Maybe the in-story answer is because they lived in a Galaxy that was fancier,and had more conviniances (sp?) at the time of the PT,at the time of the OT,it was more of a "used galaxy" they just used what worked.That's all I can think of anyway.

Oh,and just in case you wanted to know-In real life the clips used were produced by covertech,a company that makes clips for PDA's.

 

Maul didn't have a magnet did he? He had a covertec just like all the other PT Jedi (well maybe not Yoda).

 

Maul Did have a magnet as did some of the PT jedi Adi Gallia Ki-Adi-Mundi and Qui-Gon

 

No,Qui-Gon used the covertec too.

 

Well the pic i saw of him he had a magnet

 

Oh,ok.I havn't seen that before.All the pcis I've seen he has the clip.

EDIT: Obix: Thanks for the heads up on that, my friend and I were sure it was cell-phone clips...which is what we used on our costumes!

No i didn't care about your source because both are right

 

I thought Maul used a Convertec, or whatever it is, too?

 

Every prequel Jedi/Sith uses the Covertec clip and belt attachment. No magnets, no nothing else.
