Because it was an upgraded bowcaster with new quarrels ammunition. That's what Pablo Hidalgo said.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
Besides the only reason for the joke was to hit us over the head that it has more impact than a regular blaster.
Because later in the film it becomes a very pivotal weapon. Very heavy handed writing

The bow caster joke was there to set us up for kylo's injury

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
Oh, well then it doesn't make sense as the bow caster was super powerful but only managed to wound Kylo. I don't think Han's surprise with using the weapon was intended to set that up, it was just for the "I like this" line. Chewie could have shot Kylo with anything as the result was only an injury, it was just important that Chewie take the shot in rage.

I think it was used to establish how powerful Kylo Ren is. He effectively absorbed a blast that would've killed anyone else. It also explains how noob Rey defeated him, because his wound left him at a disadvantage.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
Totally believe all the attention to the bowcaster was to show Kylo's strength. My boy took that blast like a champ, and then beat on it like a psychopath to get all psyched up (and probably not pass out).
Stormtroopers go flying. Kylo just goes down on one knee...

That's totally it. Like most things in the movie, the idea was good, but the language was clumsy.

I tried to steer the TFA-related discussion back over to the TFA thread, but... *shrug*

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
That was one of my very minor complaints. I would have thought Han, being a gun connoisseur (I assume), would have asked to fire it. An upgrade makes sense because in ROTJ it was firing what looked like regular blaster bolts.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
There was nothing to indicate that it had been upgraded. (Other than a subsequent interview)
It was a contrived joke.

WOW they built a little over half the Falcon exterior for TFA and this time they've built 100 percent of the exterior! http://makingstarwars.net/2016/04/s...ii-reveal-ahch-to-and-millennium-falcon-sets/
