I don't know if this matters much but according to starwars.com the blast from an ion gun (such as the Jawa Blaster) uses electromagnetic pulses. From starwars.com databanks:
(The Movies)
The small rifle that connects to a belt-worn powerpack emits a smoky blast of energy that envelops a droid in an electric blue haze. By the time the discharge has worked its way through a droid's body, the automaton is rendered inactive.
(Expanded Universe)
It begins life as a standard blaster rifle, with its laser assembly stripped away. In its place is a modified droid restraining bolt and an ion accu-accelerator, the latter presumably scavenged from starship wreckage.
Data vs an ION Blaster.

No offense but those quotes don't tell us-well, anything. (And do I even want to know what an ion accu-accellerator, leave alone 'smoky energy' are?)
Pre-SE it actually sort of looked like the thing fired a projectile so there may be something to the restraining bolt (however THAT one's supposed to work) idea but that's the best I can get from that.
