A '''bandolier''' was a medium to large item of utilitarian clothing that the owner could wear around their left or right shoulder down across their torso, or as a large belt. Normally worn by military or paramilitary forces as well as mercenaries and others who needed large supplies of ammunition, bandoliers consisted of many ammunition pouches sewn together or snapped to a belt. Though typically used to carry extra ammunition for [[Blaster/Legends|blaster]]-type and other ranged weaponry, bandoliers could also carry grenades, supplies of [[syntherope]], and other sorts of items useful on the battlefield or in covert operations. They were also sometimes called "[[Utility belt/Legends|utility belts]]" for this same reason. Amongst notable wearers of bandoliers were [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]], [[CC-1004/Legends|Commander Gree]], [[Clone trooper/Legends|clone trooper]] [[Jek/Legends|Jek]], [[Embo/Legends|Embo]], and [[Boba Fett/Legends|Boba]] and [[Jango Fett/Legends|Jango Fett]], as well as members of the [[Krozurbian]] [[Krozurbian War Council|War Council]].<ref name="SOR4">[[Droids (1995) 8|''Droids (1995)'' 8]]</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
As in the real world, this word appears to have two different spellings in the ''Star Wars'' universe: the [[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (novel)|''A New Hope'' novelization]] and the [[Knight Errant (novel)|''Knight Errant'']] novel, among others, spell it ''bandolier'', while the [[Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (novel)|''The Empire Strikes Back'' novelization]] and ''[[Scoundrels]]'', for example, spell it ''bandoleer''.
