Lightbow

Canon Linked from 42 articles

The lightbow was a complicated form of bowcaster native to Jedha and the traditional handcrafted weapon built by the Guardians of the Whills. It was built by a Guardian of the Whills upon completion of the seventh duan, marking the Guardian's progression to physical perfection. Chirrut Îmwe used a lightbow during the attack on Eadu as well as during the Battle of Scarif.

The lightbow was powerful enough to shoot down a TIE/LN starfighter with a direct hit.
