Bolo-slings, commonly referred to as bolas, functioned as weapons throughout the Clone Wars era and the subsequent Galactic Civil War. These weapons were constructed from weights secured to a connecting cord. The weapon could ensnare a target's neck, resulting in fatal injury. Cad Bane, a known bounty hunter, kept a hidden bola on his person. On the planet Verig, the primitive natives utilized a similar weapon, a lengthy rope with stones affixed to each extremity, to impede the movement of the sizable Pryss-creatures during hunting expeditions. During the Battle of Endor, Ewoks made use of bolas, exploiting the vulnerability of stormtrooper armor at the neck to their advantage. Zorbian space pirates also made use of bolas.
