[edit] Star Wars Lore
A basic strike performed with a lightsaber. In advanced lightsaber combat, a shiim was a more minute wound to an opponent by the edge of a lightsaber's blade. It was considered inferior and a sign of desperation or struggle against a potent enemy.
Count Dooku performed this to disable Obi-Wan Kenobi during their duel on Geonosis.
