TBF, though Lucas allegedly coined (more accurately attributed to “model makers at ILM” instead of that assclown), various different projects’ teams used terms like “wiggets” (2001:SO; <1968) and “nurnies” (B5; <1993) over the years, and the “greeble” version became popular only recently, in fact.
edit: my bad, didn’t clock the “source” of OP’s “fact” until just now
Term coined by someone working on an obscure Star Trek knockoff in the 1970s. A little more warlike, as I recall, not really worth watching of course.
Wow, they came up with this for Battlestar Galactica?! Cool! 😂

You know your stuff! Gotta say, of those terms “greebles” really does sound best to my ear.
