WESTAR-34 blaster pistol/Legends

The WESTAR-34 was a small, silver blaster pistol made from dallorian alloy.

Characteristics
The WESTAR-34 fired powerful bolts which were very effective at close range, particularly against Jedi, whose weightless sabers could not hold against them for long. The blaster was designed specifically for sustained close-range use, utilizing its dallorian construction to absorb more heat than a standard blaster. The pistol's expensive custom-made finish made it impervious to furnace fire.



History
Jango Fett wielded twin, custom-made WESTAR-34s during his career as a bounty hunter, and became a proficient gunslinger. During his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Kamino, Jango lost one of his WESTARs to the raging sea. He continued to use his remaining blaster against Jedi Knights on Geonosis, killing Coleman Trebor. Jango lost his second blaster to Mace Windu's lightsaber moments before the Jedi Master finished him off.

Behind the scenes

 * In the animated segment of The Star Wars Holiday Special, Boba Fett uses a blaster that looks remarkably like the WESTAR-34 blaster pistol that his father uses in Attack of the Clones. Whether this inspired the WESTAR-34's design is unknown.
