Energy slingshot

A wrist-mounted slingshot device favored by pranksters and the youth of many species, the energy slingshot was used by pointing the device at a target and pulling back on an energized cup. When released, the cup launched a disorienting shock-burst over a short distance. A non-lethal tool, it was legal to possess on most worlds throughout the galaxy. Unlike stun blaster bolts, the slingshot projectiles were subject to gravitation, and traveled in a parabolic arc.

The slingshots could be modified to send out light only in order to trigger sensors.

Prior to 18 BBY, the Graf family used modified slingshots in a game. Milo Graf later watched a hologram of the game after his parents were captured by the Galactic Empire.

Around 5 BBY, the Lothal orphan Ezra Bridger possessed a slingshot which he used during the time of the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire before he built his own Jedi lightsaber. It was fabricated by a Xexto, and nobody knew how he obtained it. Bridger continued to wear the slingshot on his left wrist until the time between the Siege of Lothal and a mission to Seelos. He would later equip the slingshot to the hilt of his first lightsaber.

The energy slingshot appears in the first season of Star Wars Rebels and its Season 2 premiere Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal. For the rest of the series, Ezra's energy slingshot is replaced with a wrist comm.
