Standard issue blaster rifle of the Imperial Stormtroopers. The E-11 blaster rifle props were built from the British-made [[Sterling SMG | Sterling L2A3]] submachine gun. Numerous main characters, including Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker ([[Mark Hamill]]), and Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) use the weapon.

While the gun is being fired, in some scenes, if you look closely, you can see the spent casings being ejected out of the gun. The one that comes to mind is in ''"A New Hope"'' when Luke and Leia swing across the gap to the other side of the bridge while inside the death star. The stormtrooper that fires at them from the platform they just left clearly has spent casings coming out of the gun.

The DL-44 blaster pistol was the blaster of choice for Han Solo ([[Harrison Ford]]) and the Rebel Alliance and was possibly the best known duplicate of a real gun. The DL-44 blaster pistol prop was built from a [[Mauser C96]] handgun, sometimes with a sniper scope. The modifications are obviously added on to the exterior, though the distinct "broomhandle" grips are still wooden.

The Star Wars Saga (1977-)

Star Wars is a long-running space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began from the 1977 film Star Wars (retroactively retitled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) directed by Lucas. Following the release of the original six films, Lucasfilm would then be acquired by the Disney Corporation, which would subsequently release three more feature films (aka the Sequel Trilogy), following the saga of the Skywalker family, and numerous "spinoff" feature films, in addition to several live action series released to their streaming service Disney+. Throughout the films and media in the Star Wars saga, Lucas was determined that the universe he envisioned would have a "lived-in" look to it. Thus, the many weapons seen in the saga are in fact visually modified or based upon real-world weapons.

The following lists the media set in the universe of Star Wars:
