"&hellip;why is your wife pointing a gun at me?''" " She's not my wife!''"

- Leia Organa and Han Solo, on Sana Starros

The EE-4 blaster rifle was a powerful medium-ranged blaster rifle used during the reign of the Galactic Empire. the successor of the EE-3 carbine rifle. Its short and stubby barrel allowed it to fire more effectively at close range with spread shots, though this came at the cost of a reduced accuracy at range compared to the EE-3. However, the EE-4 made up for it with its greater rate of fire.

History
"Shoot it!''" "''Blasters don't work&hellip;"

- Leia Organa and Sana Starros

The weapon of choice for Sana Starros was the EE-4 blaster rifle. The EE-4 blaster rifle was notably used by the bounty hunter and smuggler Sana Starros during the reign of the Galactic Empire. She wielded her rifle when her search for Han Solo&mdash;who had made off with Starros's cut after they pulled off a robbery disguised as their "wedding"&mdash;came to an end on an unnamed planet near the Monsua Nebula. She initially drew a bead on both Solo, who had become a member of the Rebel Alliance, and the rebel princess Leia Organa.

Behind the scenes
The EE-4 blaster rifle first appeared, albeit unnamed, in the canon comic book Star Wars 6: Skywalker Strikes, Part VI, written by Jason Aaron with art by John Cassaday, and released by Marvel Comics in 2015. The blaster was later identified by name when it was added to the video game Star Wars Battlefront as part of the Bespin DLC released in 2016. The rifle was unlockable via an in-game challenge called "Sana's Legacy," referring its notable owner Sana Starros from Marvel's Star Wars comic book series.

The EE-4 also appeared in the game's sequel Star Wars Battlefront II as a "Star Card" ability for specialist troopers (such as scout troopers) rather than a full-fledged blaster option. In both games, the rifle could be used by troopers from all factions, which were the Galactic Republic, the Separatist Alliance, the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance, the New Republic, the First Order and the Resistance.

In the seventh and eighth issues of Marvel's Star Wars: Doctor Aphra comic book series, both illustrated by Andrea Broccardo, Starros was depicted wielding an EE-3 rather than an EE-4.
