Bolas were a type of thrown ensnaring weapon. Consisting of a rope with round weights at either end, bolas were used to bind opponents. During the Imperial Era, bounty hunters Fennec Shand and Durge utilized bolas. The Ewoks of the Sanctuary Moon of Endor also utilized bolas during the major battle fought there during the Galactic Civil War.
