Electrostaff/Legends



The electrostaff, built by Baktoid Armor Workshop, was an electronic melee weapon constructed of lightsaber-resistant phrik alloy equipped with electromagnetic pulse-generating tips. Though some staffs could penetrate and neutralize ray shields, most were simply used as blunt-force melee weapons.

The Confederacy of Independent Systems used electrostaff-wielding MagnaGuards to help General Grievous fight the Jedi during the Clone Wars.

Behind the scenes
In the audio commentary for the second volume of the Clone Wars cartoon series, it is revealed that the production team of the series jokingly referred to the electrostaffs as "fart staffs" because of their sound.
