Forgive me if I've posted a thread like this before, but I notice that most clothing has little doodads and tech looking greeblies on it and I am always wondering what some good ideas of what those could be. I am mainly talking about clothing but I know that some of the clothing is classified as armor as well. What I am looking for are things like passive comlink antenna repeaters, equipment interface chips, clothing repair circuits, etc.

What are some of the uses and purposes for those things besides the obvious reason that it makes it look futuristic?

Some of those "greeblies" are used as rank insignias.

The Solo Official Guide says that the spot on the left breast of young Han’s jacket is a slot for ID, but Han’s is empty.

Do you have any sample photos? I can't remember much other than rank insignia & code cylinders. All the rest looks like pockets, seams, color patches, etc.
