Melee weapon

Melee weapons were weapons designed for close- to medium-ranged combat. Such weapons included staves like the gaderffii used by the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine, and vibro-axes.

By the time of the First Order–Resistance conflict, people usually preferred to fight from long range, using rifles and blasters. As a consequence, physicians were not used to treating wounds inflicted by melee weapons such as lightsabers.
