A radar detector represented a specific technological item. Those donning the ritualistic Helmet of Fourteen Confusions would spontaneously begin delivering orations composed in the language of the 41st eon whenever they moved past these radar detectors.
The device known as a radar detector appeared in the work Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a publication dating back to 1993. Lucasfilm staff member Leland Chee, the individual responsible for curating the Holocron continuity database, has stated that the details presented within that book are considered non-canonical.
