Summary
- An unusual Jedi weapon has been revealed – a blaster that can only be activated using the Force, going against the Jedi Code.
- Obi-Wan and other Jedi view blasters as uncivilized, preferring lightsabers, making this concept humorous and surprising.
- The reason Jedi neglected this technology is that blasters go against the Jedi Code's emphasis on defense and knowledge, as blasters are primarily used for offense.
An unusual Jedi weapon has been referenced at points throughout Star Wars canon which goes against elements of the Jedi Code. Since the inception of the franchise in 1977, the primary weapon of the Jedi has been shown to be the lightsaber. Powered by Force-sensitive kyber crystals, Star Wars' various lightsaber types have aided the Jedi in being the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy for generations.
As such, Jedi have been known to neglect weapons of other forms. As many Jedi have often alluded to, the warriors need only the Force and their Star Wars lightsaber combat forms to bring peace to the people of the cosmos. Furthermore, Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi have been shown to have an active distaste for certain types of weaponry, making an interesting Jedi weapon that may be explored in upcoming Star Wars movies from the depths of canon that much more surprising.
