Chewbacca crafted several of them over time. At the end of the war, bowcasters were also used in the Battle of Kashyyyk. During the Clone Wars, the bounty hunter Embo used a bowcaster as his favored weapon. History īowcasters were based on ancient weapons from Wookiee history that fired poisoned darts and arrows. However, this statistic was challenged by Han Solo on numerous occasions during the cold war, in which he became fond of the weapon. To fire comfortably, the strength of a Wookiee was required. īowcasters were much more powerful than standard blaster rifles, but also much heavier, meaning few humans were capable of carrying one around, let alone hold it level and steady for a precise shot. Chewbacca unconventionally crafted the weapon using the frame and power pack of a standard stormtrooper blaster additionally, Chewbacca also fitted it with an automatic cocking system, a feature traditional models of the time lacked. The last (known) bowcaster to be crafted by Chewbacca, a Wookiee warrior and Rebel hero, was created during Galactic Empire era.
Once the cocking spring was pulled back, the trigger fired the quarrel, which was enveloped in plasma energy. Two polarizing orbs, balanced on each end of the bow, created a magnetic field that boosted the quarrel's momentum. The weapon used metal quarrels enveloped with plasma energy as ammunition. Designs differed through the materials used and the creator's artistic approach, although the end result was visually similar to a crossbow-like weapon. Through the use of magnetic acceleration, bowcasters were more powerful and accurate than the average blaster.
