INDIGENOUS WEAPONRY REPRESENT I LOVE YOU ROBBIE

Every D&D/cr nerd in the world flooding google searches with 'Atlatl' this week

random boba fett minutiae #9843573: in both the boba fett junior novels and the novelization of episode ii, boba is shown spear-fishing with his father using a weapon known as a pocker. the pocker is specifically described as an atlatl, an ancient spear-throwing implement most famously used by the aztec and still used today in parts of mexico and the arctic. of course, this being star wars, the atlatl used by boba has some nifty sci-fi features, including a laser-targeting system and an ion-powered burst that increases the spear's speed after it is thrown by the wielder. it should be noted, however, that boba does not use the laser-targeting system, as jango insists that he keep it disabled so he can better develop his own innate sense of aim.
