In the Star Wars universe, combat techniques and Force abilities define the power and skill of Jedi, Sith, and other Force users. From the elegant lightsaber duels of the Jedi Order to the raw, aggressive strikes of the Sith, every warrior wields their weapon with precision and purpose.
The seven lightsaber combat forms, including Obi-Wan Kenobi’s impenetrable Soresu and Darth Vader’s powerful Djem So, showcase different philosophies of battle, ranging from defensive mastery to relentless offense. But lightsaber combat is only part of a Jedi or Sith’s arsenal—Force techniques play an equally critical role. Abilities like Force lightning, a favourite of Darth Sidious, Force push, and mind control allow powerful Force users to manipulate their surroundings and their enemies.
Beyond the Jedi and Sith, Mandalorian combat strategies, Imperial battle tactics, and Force-wielding martial arts such as Teräs Käsi add further depth to the ways warriors engage in battle. Whether through the wisdom of Jedi training, the ruthlessness of Sith sorcery, or the raw skill of non-Force users, the techniques of Star Wars shape duels, wars, and the ultimate balance of power in the galaxy.
