Seismic charge

Seismic charges, also known as a seismic bomb, were devastating weapons that drew sound in from their immediate vicinity and exploded in concussive waves of brilliant blue light, shattering everything in their wake. A Charge Core was a component used in seismic charges.Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures: Galactic Training Jango Fett launched several Void-7 seismic charges from a deployerUltimate Star Wars aboard his starship, Slave I, while trying to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi during their dogfight in the asteroid field that orbited the planet Geonosis.
Years later, during the Galactic Civil War, Luke Skywalker acquired Utheel Rockcrusher Compact charge during his mission to extract the Givin operator Drusil Bephorin. He deployed one to destroy an Immobilizer 418 cruiser.Heir to the Jedi

Therefore, The Mandalorian is set in 9 ABY. Jango's son Boba Fett flew Slave I to the Great Pit of Carkoon to look for his lost armor. The Sarlacc inside the pit attempted to draw in the ship with its tentacles, but Fennec Shand dropped a seismic charge into the sarlacc's mouth, destroying it.
Some time afterwards, Boba picked up Din Djarin and Migs Mayfeld following their raid on an Imperial refinery on Morak. Two TIE fighters pursued the ship as it escaped, but Boba quickly obliterated the fighters with a charge.
==Behind the scenes==
Sound designer Ben Burtt describes the sound of a seismic charge as an "audio black hole," where the sonic blast follows a moment of silence.Ben Burtt answers questions about sound design of Star Wars by Sven E. Carlsson, FilmSound.org. Archived 2005-05-07. Burtt had wanted to implement this sound design, which he called "Space Ether Explosions", since Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. When he first presented the sound effect for exploding Tie Fighters, George Lucas did not like it, so he halted work on it until Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.Creating Seismic Charges, Star Wars: Community.
