Slingshots were weapons that launched small object. After the object was loaded, the user pulled back on the string and released it,[1] firing the object accurately over long distances. Slingshots of various kinds were popular with the Xexto of the planet Troiken, as their extra sets of arms made them more convent to use. The children of the planet Lothal were known to enjoy them as well.[2] During the Battle of Endor, the Ewoks used these against the forces of the Galactic Empire.[1] On the extragalactic world Peridea, the peaceful native Noti used slingshots for defense when attacked.[3]

An energy slingshot was a type of slingshot that replaced the string with a virtual line, allowing the user to launch low-voltage charges.[2]
