Mace Windu writes on a piece of flimsiplast in Aurebesh.

"Ha! Caught the enemy on a caf break. Prison defenses might as well be made of flimsiplast."
―Oteg[1]

Flimsiplast, often shortened to flimsi, flimsy, or sometimes plast, was one of the most popular media for the written word. The hair-thin sheets of acrylic medium were almost transparent and were sometimes collected into hardbound books. Flimsiplast was also used for printing hard-copies of computer files. Flimsi could also be used to make such items as disposable gowns in hospitals.[2]

Flimsiplast was reusable, unlike paper, but dissolved in liquids.[3]

A variety known as change flimsiplast could store multiple writings on the same surface; the reader could cycle through them by touching the surface in a certain manner.[4]
