Lightsaber duel

A lightsaber duel was two or more combatants armed with lightsabers, or one party using lightsabers against another wielding a melee weapon capable of sparring with the former, engaged in personal combat.

Most such duels were fought by varying permutations of participants allied with the Sith and duelists representing the Jedi Order, though other parties have participated in such events, such as the Jensaarai. In general, however, only beings who could use the Force engaged in lightsaber duels, as the dexterity and awareness required to wield such weapons necessitated extensive training in its mastery.
