Take /any/ Sci-Fi spaceship, building, robot, android, spacesuit, 
weapon, or other gadget - you'll find stuff "that looks cool but doesn't 
actually do anything" on virtually all of them in varying density.

2001: A Space Odyssey, anyone?

Even '74 trash Sci-Fi movie "Dark Star" had greebly stuff on the bomb, 
for instance.

Just two random examples.

(Though the Star Wars crew apparently did indeed coin the term "greeble")
