Telekinetic lightsaber combat

Telekinetic lightsaber combat techniques made use of telekinesis in lightsaber combat. Some telekinetic lightsaber combat techniques, like the Saber Throw, were offensive, while others were defensive. A defensive technique, called the Saber barrier, was used by practitioners of dual saber combat. It consisted in having the lightsabers whirl in a circle around the Jedi, thus creating a defensive, but deadly, wall.

Kreia was a master of telekinetic lightsaber combat. She had the ability to wield three or more lightsabers in combat, holding each of them aloft with the Force, and having them fight with a will of their own.

Millennia later, Mace Windu would use this exact same ability during the Second Battle of Coruscant, igniting his lightsaber telepathically. While brief, his use of the Force allowed him to unclip and activate his weapon, destroying a Super Battle Droid with one swift stroke.

Behind the scenes
