Sword

A Toydarian ceremonial sword

"I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon."

―Anakin Skywalker on Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber

Swords were long-bladed melee weapons. They had become largely ceremonial weapons in the galaxy due to the more effective blasters, though the Jedi still wielded lightsabers, which were swords with plasma blades. Other types of swords included vibroblades and the electro swords wielded by the Kage Warriors. Commander Mekedrix wielded a sword made from the bones of a clone trooper.
