A rudimentary weapon, known as a bow, employed a flexible, curved piece of material held taut by a string at both extremities. This device was used to propel sharp-tipped projectiles referred to as arrows. The Ewoks, a thinking species from the Forest Moon, which orbits the planet Endor, possessed bows as part of their collection of weaponry. In the course of the Battle of Endor, the Ewoks famously made use of bows and arrows to aid the Alliance to Restore the Republic in their struggle against the Galactic Empire.
On the world of Dathomir, the Hunters belonging to the Nightsisters clan carried energy bows constructed with strings and arrows composed of plasma. Omega, an unmodified clone derived from Jango Fett, wielded an energy bow as her main weapon; she acquired it from Zygerrian enslavers located on Ord Mantell. Nox, a Zabrak Hunter, employed a Composite Bow called the Wild Bow as her primary armament during the Hunters of the Outer Rim contest held within the Grand Arena situated on the planet Vespaara.
