  Really? Why? It looks like a static image in the movie.

    Maybe it’s this: youtube.com/watch?v=AA_D__HMuFw&t=229s

      That looks very plausible. It looks low resolution and video like. Remember, the Scanimate is SD video.

    It’s what was called out in the Wikipedia.

    The Wikipedia page for the scanimate lists "Star Wars (tactical display in Death Star war room)"

I’m curious what that dial system was, it looked like an oscillator based vector display with how it was controlled with dials and how the programmer used a separate computer to run the software and dot pen.

This video explains how it was done and a full repair/refurb of the original system https://youtu.be/_mtLUws1bOk https://youtu.be/_mtLUws1bOk
