The Pocker LJ, a rudimentary spear-throwing device propelled by ion bursts, functioned as an ion-burst-powered atlatl. To assist with targeting, it incorporated a laser sighting unit. Its ease of use and affordability rendered it a favored initial firearm for adolescents and suitable for particular hunting applications. Due to its basic design and low cost, it gained traction in less advanced and remote planetary systems.
During his youth, Boba Fett honed his fishing skills on Kamino employing a pocker equipped with a fishing line. Jango Fett, his father, instructed Boba to disable the laser sight to improve his natural aiming ability.
