- ―Luke Skywalker, to Boba Fett
Boba Fett carried an Amban phase-pulse blaster.
In the year 1 ABY,[3] the bounty hunter Boba Fett wielded one such weapon. While on the mud-moon of Panna Prime, Fett witnessed the young rebel Luke Skywalker come under attack by a Panna dragon, which began to devour the pilot's BTL-S3 Y-wing starfighter. Skywalker's blaster pistol had no effect on the beast, so Fett intervened. From the back of a Paar's ichthyodont, the bounty hunter fired his Amban phase-pulse blaster at the dragon, and it retreated. After the incident, Skywalker thanked Fett for saving his life.[1]
