The Merr-Sonn Model 57 was a weapon similar in appearance to the BlasTech DL-44 heavy blaster pistol.
The Rebel Alliance purchased a number of these weapons from an arms dealer on Ord Mantell. One of them came into the ownership of Luke Skywalker, who used it alongside his lightsaber.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Star Wars: Behind the Magic misidentified Luke's Model 57 blaster in The Empire Strikes Back as a Power 5 heavy blaster pistol.[2]
