Parksabers?

The plastic sabers Kenner made around the time Empire came out made their own buzzing noises when you swung them. No batteries needed.

Those were the days. They don't really have cool non battery operated toys anymore do they? The whistle thing on the blade really was a neat idea for the time.
Remember the old Falcon and X-Wings? They were battery operated but all they did was make this electronic buzzing sound. I remember the Y-Wings was my favorite because it had the turrent on the top that swivled and had a place where you could put R2 or R4.

Long before they came out with the telescoping sound FX things, we would take broom handles and make a hilt out of duct-tape or electrical tape. We would do actual dueling but it sometimes got pretty painful on the fingers. Honestly the most fun was when my friend and I would plan out a certian fight, we would practice it for a bit in slow motion and then eventually get to the point where we could really go fast and look like we were having a real duel, we would show off with it whenever we got the chance and impress the other kids who didn't know we had the whole thing planed.
