"This was the formal weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. More skill than simple sight was required for its use. An elegant weapon. It was a symbol as well.

This technique allowed for great speed and mobility and left no openings in one's defense.

This was the factor that led to Vader's defeat, and, in his battle against Luke Skywalker on the second Death Star, may be a reason why he threw his lightsaber when Luke got the high ground instead of going after him.
