Saber throw

Saber Throw is an offensive usage of the lightsaber. It originally belongs to the Dark Side, but it is also referred as a neutral-basic ability.

It is not clear if it is an ability of itself or a technique of combination of powers like Force Pull.

The Jedi can throw the lightsaber in a boomerang fashion, cutting its way through objects, and returning to the hand of the caster with Pull.

Appearances

 * During his duel with Yoda on Geonosis in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Count Dooku threw his lightsaber in an attempt to strike the agile Grand Master. Dooku succeeded only in grazing the side of his Solar Sailer with the spinning blade.
 * When Yoda fought his way into the Jedi Temple in Revenge of the Sith, he used this technique to kill an attacking clone trooper.
 * When Luke Skywalker jumped atop a suspended catwalk in Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader threw his lightsaber to bring the catwalk crashing to the ground; some say that Darth Vader lacked the physique, speed, and Force power to jump atop the catwalk himself to continue the duel, while others count this as an example of his mastery of many techniques of the Force, confusing and intimidating his younger, less knowledgeable opponent; a third opinion states that Vader tried to avoid fighting an opponent on higher ground, given the outcome of his first battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
 * In The Truce at Bakura, Luke Skywalker uses the technique when fighting to gain control of the Ssi-ruuvi ship, Shriwirr.
 * In video and computer games featuring lightsabers such as the Jedi Knight and Knights of the Old Republic  series, among others, this is a common technique.
