Grappling hook/Legends

A grappling hook was a device used by individuals in order to mount large objects, swing across chasms, or ensnare others.

History
The Jedi of the Galactic Republic were commonly equipped with grappling spike launchers during missions, which were developed by the quartermasters at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Simpler fibercord grappling hooks were used by the clone troopers during the Clone Wars, and by the scout troopers and stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire. Luke Skywalker used a fibercord grappling hook found in his stolen stormtrooper armor to swing himself and Princess Leia Organa across a chasm on the first Death Star.

The Princess of Bright Tree Village Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka was known as the best Ewok on fighting with a grappling hook.

The bounty hunter Boba Fett was known to equip his Fibercord Whip with a small grappling hook for use in capturing bounties.

The Feeorin pirate Nym was also known to use a grappling hook.
