Background: A vibro-lance was a shafted electroshock weapon fitted with a vibro-edged head. It was longer and lighter than a force pike and balanced to be thrown like a spear.
Some of the Gamorrean Guards in Jabba the Hutt’s palace on Tatooine, used vibro-lances.
Wilhuff Tarkin considered himself to be an expert in the use of the vibro-lance. Still, he was impressed by the Jedi’s skills with a lightsaber when he saw them training. When Jova Tarkin tested him in the Carrion Plateau on Eriadu, Tarkin had to spend an entire day at the Carrion Spike without food or water, only being allowed to carry a vibro-lance.
