This is from the opening movie SWTOR when Satele Shan stopped Darth Malgus lightsaber thrust and block his advances by using her hand (or hands) without getting burned or amputated.. I never see jedi or sith stopping or blocking lightsaber with their BARE hands (like kungfu movies where the protagonist stopped enemy blade by clapping the blade with both hands, wont work in a lightsaber combat imho)..
The only other incident i remember is from Darkhorse SW Comics where a Jedi Student fight a mock combat with his master and his master only use a flimsy walking stick to block the saber attacks (ultimately the stick broke when the student uses 2 lightsaber to attack his master).
Are there any reference on other SW materials / stories about this ? i dont mean blocking lightsaber with Electrostaff like General Grievous's Guards, but blocking lightsabers with bare hands and other weak materials like sticks..
The only thing I can think of is from the TT RP game, a force power called Energy Absorption where IF you had a high enough skill you could block any form of energy with your hands, the caption in the book described Darth Vader blocking the bolts from Han Solos blaster in Bespin as a medium use of the power.
