The BE-29 blaster rifle was a blaster rifle with a black barrel, a black scope, a black trigger, and a brown, petrified rochiawood shoulder stock.[1] The moisture farmer Beru Whitesun Lars owned[2] a sawed off BE-29 blaster rifle[1] that acted as a shotgun blaster[3] that she kept hidden behind a false pipe in the homestead she lived in with her husband Owen Lars and their adopted son, Luke Skywalker.[2]
In 9 BBY,[4] she retrieved the blaster and threw it to a surprised Owen after he informed her that the former Inquisitor Reva Sevander was one her way to the homestead in search of Skywalker. Owen then used the BE-29 to shoot at Sevander from cover once she entered the homestead, but she deflected the bolts with her lightsaber and eventually caused Owen to drop the gun by hurling a piece of equipment at him.[2]
