Lightsaber rifle

The lightsaber rifle was a type of rifle designed to work in conjunction with a standard lightsaber. During the first year of the Galactic Empire's reign, Jocasta Nu wielded the Archives' rifle in conjunction with her lightsaber when she confronted Darth Vader in 19 BBY when she returned to the Jedi Temple after its fall during the Great Jedi Purge. However, the weapon ran out of ammunition, and despite her attempt to use it as an explosive with telekinesis, Vader's own telekinetic power redirected it, detonating a large portion of the Jedi Temple wall instead.

Years later, Ben Solo, Lor San Tekka and Luke Skywalker found a rifle of this type in a Jedi outpost on Elphrona.
