lightsaber duel

Glowing blade fight

A lightsaber duel is a fight between wielders of lightsabers—the fictional laser swords from Star Wars.

The term applies to cinematic combat in the films and to real-world choreographed performances or competitive sports that replicate the style: The choreography for the lightsaber duel took months to perfect.

Dueling has become a recognized activity, with clubs and tournaments worldwide.
