- "Because he's holding a thermal detonator!"
- ―C-3PO speaks in fear of the threat of a thermal detonator
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 turned off by whomever turned them on.[5] They also would go off only when they were activated, and therefore were very resistant and secure when carrying them.[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]
