The tractor rifle was a type of rifle that was capable of projecting a tractor beam, and pulling an object such as a lightsaber. After the report of an individual using the Force to escape from a bar fight, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader traveled to a bar on Cabarria in the Colonies region. Shortly after he entered the bar, Vader was attacked by a family of bounty hunters. Chanath Cha, the family's daughter, attempted to pull Vader's lightsaber using her tractor rifle. Although it was stopped by Vader in mid-air thanks to his Force abilities, the weapon eventually snapped in half and its red kyber crystal fell to the ground.
The tractor rifle first appeared in the canon comic book Darth Vader (2017) 11, written by Charles Soule with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, and released by Marvel Comics on February 14, 2018.
