Blaster muskets[2] were a type of blaster pistol that was used by the Shistavanen pirate Brutus during the New Republic Era.[1] Around 9 ABY,[3] Captain Brutus was captured while welding a blaster musket by the Onyx Cinder's Cargo-lifting arm while approached its landing ramp after it was tractored into the hanger of his frigate. After being grabbed by the lift arm he fired a single blast before dropping the blaster. The former pirate captain Silvo picked up Brutus' blaster musket after approaching the restrained Brutus. Avenging his previous mutiny, Silvo killed Brutus with a single shot from the blaster musket and retook his pirate crew.[1]
Behind the scenes
Blaster muskets were first identified in the Disney+ audio descriptions of "We're Gonna Be In So Much Trouble," the seventh episode of the live–action series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew which was released on January 7, 2025.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
