Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Cover Country United States Release Date 2016 Language English Main Cast Character Actor

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, or simply Rogue One, is a 2016 space opera film directed by Gareth Edwards, and set in the universe of Star Wars. Happening just before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, the film stars Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso, a malcontent drifter who is recruited by the fledging Rebel Alliance to recover the data that could expose a weakness in the Empire's newest and deadliest weapon that is under construction. The feature film, which was part of A Star Wars Story spinoff feature series, was released in the US to theatres in December of 2016 and the cast includes Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Donnie Yen, and Diego Luna, whose character of Cassian Andor would be featured in the 2022 Disney+ prequel streaming series Andor.

The following weapons were used in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story:

Blaster Pistols

A180 Pistol (WE Luger P08)

Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) also uses an A180 pistol, which was based on a Luger P08. This pistol appears to have been built up from an airsoft (6" barrel) WE Luger with a large barrel shroud (reminiscent of the LPA NN-14's from The Force Awakens). The Luger's rear sight has been removed leaving behind just the sloped dovetail mount, and the over-travel lug on the back of the toggle has been ground flush with the rear of the frame.

BlasTech DH-17 Blaster Pistol (Sterling L2A3)

Rebels in Rogue One once again use the Sterling L2A3-based "BlasTech DH-17 blaster pistol". At least one rebel trooper can be seen using the DH-17 with what appears to be a Magpul CTR stock. Several DH-17 Blaster pistols are most notably used in the final scene where they open fire on Darth Vader when he boards the ship.

Unknown Compact Blaster Pistol (FN Five-Seven)

Near the end of Rogue One, Cassian Andor is armed with an unknown compact blaster pistol that is based around an FN Five-seveN.

DT-29 Heavy Blaster pistol (MP40)

Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) carries a DT-29 heavy blaster pistol, which based on a cut-down MP40 with a scope. The DT-29 appears to be have been custom made, as there are significant structural differences between it and the MP40.

MP40 Submachine Gun - 9x19mm

BlasTech A280CFE blaster pistol (AR-15)

Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) mostly uses his A280CFE blaster in the pistol configuration for the majority of the film.

BlasTech SE-14r Light Repeating Blaster (Rexim Favor)

Death Troopers and some Imperial officers carry "BlasTech SE-14r light repeating blasters" (based on Rexim Favors) as their sidearm. K2SO (Voiced by Alan Tudyk) acquires a SE-14r from Jyn during the Battle of Scarif, using it to great effect. The weapon originally appeared in publicity stills for A New Hope, but Rogue One is the first time it has appeared in the films.

Blaster Rifles

BlasTech E-11 Blaster Rifle (S&T Sterling L2A1)

The "BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle" returns as the standard issue blaster rifle of the Imperial Stormtroopers in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It remains relatively unchanged from the E-11s seen in A New Hope, minus the addition of Element M300A LED Mini Scout Light (EX 191) flashlights on the side of the barrel, which are knockoffs of the SureFire M300 Mini Scout Light. The E-11s were based on airsoft S&T Sterling L2A1s (rather than the real and MGC Sterlings L2A3s used in The Original Trilogy) with scopes cast from real M38 azimuth tank telescopes. The E-11 is also used by Sandtroopers and some Shoretroopers.

BlasTech A280-CFE and A300 Rebel Blaster Rifles (AR-15)

Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and some of the other Rebel use blaster rifles based on an AR-15 variant. While visually similar to the A280 blaster rifle from Return of the Jedi, these rifles aren't the same. Andor's weapon is a modular version (perhaps a nod to the AR-15 it's based on) designated as the A280 Covert Field Edition. Andor himself uses the blaster with the stock and all barrel attachments removed, effectively making it a blaster pistol, then later adding parts to his blaster pistol to make what is referred to as a "Sniper Configuration".

Some of the Rebel troopers are armed with another blaster rifle based on the AR-15, these are designated as Blastech A-300 blaster rifles. They are fitted with Neuro-Saav NT-43.3 electroscopes and at least one Rebel has a compact version of the blaster rifle with a "sawn-off barrel".

BlasTech DH-447 Sniper Rifle

Leevan Tenza uses a BlasTech DH-447 Sniper Rifle as his main weapon in the film. The Rifle loosely resembles a DH-17 Blaster Pistol but has a much longer barrel and a big muzzle on the end.

Sniper Blaster Rifle (Jezali Musket)

Edrio and Benthic both use a sniper blaster rifle that is built from a Jezali Musket.

Lightbow

Chirrut Îmwe is often seen using a Lightbow which is built from parts of a Sterling SMG, namely the main grips.

E-11D Blaster Rifle (S&T Sterling L2A1)

Death Troopers use airsoft S&T Sterling L2A1-based E-11D blaster rifles. The blasters feature VFC HK416C-style stocks (SKU: VF9-STK-416E-BK01) and, like a few other weapons, Element M300A (EX 191) flashlights.

E-22 Blaster Rifle (S&T Sterling L2A1)

Some Shoretroopers use the double-barreled E-22 blaster rifle, which is based on the airsoft S&T Sterling L2A1 with a second barrel, a precision stock, and an Element M300A (EX 191) flashlight added. Like the Death Trooper blaster, this blaster is also likely meant to be some kind of E-11 variant, especially considering the E-22 designation (which presumably is a reference to the two barrels).

Boiler Rifle

Commander Pao (portrayed by Derek Arnold) uses a Boiler Rifle as his main weapon during the Battle of Scarif. The Boiler rifle appears to be a customarily made rifle, using parts from a Sterling SMG and the stock of a Mossberg 500.

Heavy Blasters

Heavy Death Trooper Blaster (MG 34)

"Heavy" Death Troopers use a blaster based on the MG 34. It is likely meant to be a DLT-19 variant and features what appears to be two under barrel flashlights.

M-45 Repeating Ion Blaster (M60)

In what is perhaps a homage to a scene from Full Metal Jacket, Bistan fires an M-45 Repeating Ion Blaster, based upon an M60 machine gun out of a UT-60D (U-wing) on Scarif.

MWC-35c "Staccato Lightning" repeating cannon (Saiga 12)

This weapon was used by Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen) throughout the film. The weapon appears to be a select-fire blaster powered by a belt that is connected to a tank mounted to the user's back.
