I read a story in a sci-fi magazine anthology in the early '80s about a "primitive" culture on some faraway planet. The story started with a young boy practicing fighting in a group of other young boys, each armed with a wooden stick and shield, wearing loincloths and painting the picture of your standard low-tech backwater primitive culture. Later, the planet is invaded by what we would think of as standard Terran Marines with armor and laser guns, and that same boy is now grown and fighting back in guerrilla warfare in the jungle with the rest of his people. Now they use high-tech shields that absorb the laser fire and use the energy to power their lances, which are a sort of combination of lightsabers and point-to-shoot wands. There was some illustration with the story that showed the shields being transparent and a cable leading from the shields and wands to a backpack power storage. That's about all I can remember.
