Two similar weapons? I'm thinking lightsabers.

But I don't think in any starwars books/games read/played a lightsaber destroyed a lightsaber by striking it. unless the hilt was hit.

In the Young Jedi Knights series, One Character broke through the other's lightsaber and cut her arm off, this due to the fact that her lightsaber was poorly constructed and his wasn't.

Is this the author of the books, thinly veiled contempt for female engineers? :( My wife would take issue with this

In the book her 'saber is faulty because she rushes the conrtruction and pretty much takes a "that'll do" approach to it. the parts dont connect pefectly and the blade is not as effiecient as it shoudl be and, at a point where she tries to parry a blow, the blade shorts out and her sparring partner (who was expectign some resisteance to his swing) lops her arm off.

He gets his though when he turns to the dark side and is hacked apart by his own sister (using both a lghtsabr and, i believe, a cortosis laced sword)


Sometimes Star Wars can be a little Grim-Dark too.

Probably something like this

Power sword vs. Power sword? Sweep the leg.
