"Shiim is any kind of wound that is made with the edge of a lightsaber blade."
―Cin Drallig[src]
Asajj Ventress uses shiim on Anakin Skywalker's face.

In lightsaber combat, 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. However, in use by a lightsaber master, this was regarded as either a taunt by a superior enemy or an immobilizing technique to stop a foe.
