- "That was some diversion, Sabine. Did the job so well, can see the explosion from here."
"Forget the explosion. Look at the color." - ―Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren discuss the aftermath of a paint bomb
Paint bombs,[2] also known as color bombs,[3] were miniaturized explosives which spread clouds of paint and were created by the young Mandalorian weapons expert Sabine Wren. She used one during a diversion on Lothal, planting it on a TIE fighter. It went off, knocking down several stormtroopers and spreading paint on their armor. The diversion allowed the starship the Ghost to escape.[2]
The weapons work by filling explosives with different types of material to create varying results.[1]
Behind the scenes
Paint bombs first appeared in Star Wars Rebels. The young readers book Star Wars Rebels: Head to Head featured a match-up between Wren and Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko, when Wren infiltrated the Imperial Academy on Lothal to plant a paint bomb in his office.
In Angry Birds Star Wars II, Wren used her paint bombs to escape from Imperial stormtroopers.
