"Because he's holding a thermal detonator!"
―C-3PO speaks in fear of the threat of a thermal detonator[src]

Thermal detonators were palm-sized, spherical devices that were used as extremely deadly explosive weapons.[3] In addition to being surprisingly powerful for their size, they could only be deactivated by whomever turned them on.[5] They also would explode only when they were activated, and therefore were very resistant and secure and a stable weapon when carried.[6]

The Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane carried thermal detonators, and often used them during assignments.[7] Princess Leia Organa, disguised as a bounty hunter, threatened the crime lord Jabba the Hutt with a detonator in order to negotiate a deal.[3]
