The lightsaber shoto, commonly referred to as shotos, but also known as short lightsabers or lightdaggers, were essentially lightsabers with a shorter blade, whose purpose was primarily to serve as an off-hand weapon for those duelists seeking to employ the twin-bladed technique of Jar'Kai, but were also utilized by those Jedi and Sith whose stature made wielding full sized lightsabers impractical, or, in some cases, impossible.[1]

History

The Sith Lord Freedon Nadd's lightsaber was a bronze-bladed shoto, which was later taken from his tomb on Dxun by a strike team sent by Meetra Surik.

Luke Skywalker, constructed one during the Galactic Civil War to counter the unusual nature of his opponent, Lumiya's, lightwhip.[2]
