Can someone explain what is the differnce between an ION Rifle, ION cannon, and ION Jawa rifle?
Who can use these weapons? (commandos?)

An Ion Cannon is a huge weapon designed todisable capital ships. You can see that the Rebels has one of these on Hoth in Empire Strikes Back.
Spacefighters, like the Y-Wing, also got a smaller ion cannon used to disable electronics on other fighters and ships.
The Jawa rifle, seen in Episode IV, is a hand held Ion weapon designed to knock out electronics.
An Ion blast doesn't do physical damage (opposite to a Laser blast), it's designed to knock out electronics.
Only the Jawa Rifle is in SWG and it does Stun damage. No Ion damage type in SWG. Its used by Rifleman primary, but a Commando could use it because its a marksman weapon.
