Bolas, also known as bolo-slings and bolos, were a type of melee weapon typically used by less-developed civilizations.[1] The weapon consisted of weights attached to an interconnected cord.[2]
The primitive natives of the planet Verig used a bola-like weapon, a long rope with stones tied to either end, to trip the large Pryss-creatures while hunting.[3] The weapons were employed by the Anointed People of Masterhome.[1] Ewoks employed bolas during the Battle of Endor, where the necessity of a neck joint rendered stormtrooper armor ineffective against them.[2] They were used by Zorbian space pirates.[4]
