[edit] Characteristics

Qui-Gon Jinn uses his Hush-98.

In addition to standard communication abilities, the Hush-98 featured a 100 kilometer range, variable frequencies, encoding, a locator, silence projectors that created a field of white noise around the user, allowing for private conversations, and was also capable of sending complex data, such as the blood sample data from Anakin Skywalker. Device's name originates from a fact that it could "hear" even a hush.

Components of the Hush-98 included a reception antenna, voice pickup, encoding selector, sound projectors, sound reproduction matrix, and frequency search control.

[edit] Behind the scenes

The Hush-98 comlink as it appeared in the movie was a woman's razor which had been modified.
