Blaster - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Nearly every being in the Galaxy owned or used a blaster at some time: Anakin Skywalker owned a small ion blaster in his youth, Leia Organa was given a sporting blaster when she was just a teenager, and Mandalorian children were given blasters, along with extensive training, prior to becoming thirteen standard years old. |
 | | The more common type was the blaster that fired a high energy particle beam that was more deadly to humanoids and other biological targets than superheated plasma (which was quite deadly anyway), but it was still enough to put a B1 battle droid down and keep it down. |
 | | Triple blaster technology began to wane as what we traditionally think of as "the blaster" was created, as it was a self-contained unit that could produce bolts by itself with no additional equipment. |
