Lightsaber: a weapon used by a Jedi Knight/Master/Padawan.  Even a healer Jedi will carry one as a defense mechanism, and a symbol of who they are.  These weapons are deadly in the hands of a Jedi.  They are a glowing blade emmited from a small, two handed hilt.
Blaster: A pistol type thing that shoots a laser.  They come in various shapes, sizes, speed, accuracy, and deadliness.
Concussion Rifle: This has a LARGE blast radius.  It is a ball of compressed air that explodes upon impact into a pretty blue ball, with deadly range and a big boom.
Personal Shield: A personal shield is a force field that surrounds your body, and takes a blast or two from a blaster for you.
Beckon Call: It is a small device that is set to call a specific ship with radio signals.  The ship must be fitted with slave circuitry.
