Luke Skywalker is locked in combat with Darth Vader using their lightsabers.
A lightsaber clash, alternatively referred to as a lightsaber duel, transpired when a minimum of two individuals, with at least one wielding a lightsaber, engaged in lightsaber combat. The quintessential duelists were the Jedi and Sith; however, exceptions existed. An instance includes the confrontation between the rogue Sith Lord Maul and Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla for control of Mandalore.
During the majority of the Republic Era, lightsaber duels were not common; regardless, instruction in lightsaber dueling was a component of Jedi training. Examples of duels featuring combatants without lightsabers include Finn's confrontation with FN-2199, who utilized his Z6 riot control baton to parry the traitor's lightsaber strikes, and the engagement between Rey, Kylo Ren, and the Elite Praetorian Guard. In this battle, the Praetorians employed various advanced melee weapons, such as vibro-voulges, electro-bisentos, Bilari electro-chain whips, and double-bladed vibro-arbir blades, to defend against lightsaber attacks.
