Lightsaber shoto



The shoto was a lightsaber with a very short blade. Jedi Master Kavar fought with a ordinary lightsaber and a shoto. During the Clone Wars era, the rebellious Jedi Master Sora Bulq carried a shoto which he used in a duel against Master Mace Windu. Luke Skywalker also used one against Lumiya's lightwhip. Master Yoda's lightsaber was small enough that it may actually have been technically classifiable as a shoto, though it was not used as such.

Behind the Scenes
In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II, shoto were referred as Short Lightsabers.
