Bokken sabers,[4] also known as lightsaber training staffs and Jedi training sabers,[5] were wooden swords[1] used for lightsaber combat training.[3]
History[]

During the High Republic Era, several Jedi including Padawan Jecki Lon used Bokken sabers during a lesson with Jedi Master Lakshay.[6]
Imperial Era[]
During the Imperial Era Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger used training sabers made by Kanan Jarrus and Garazeb Orrelios to help the Mandalorian learn how to wield the Darksaber.[2]
New Republic Era[]
During the New Republic Era, Wren would later use a Bokken when sparring against the droid Huyang and Ahsoka Tano, after agreeing to resume training as Tano's Padawan.[4]
