Fake it. :)
Have your minifigs standing sideways in the pikewall, so that the "pike" is
angled down through both their hands. In the upper hand, have them holding a
spear, with as much extension as they can get. In the back hand, have them
holding an antenna rod, or a solid 'lightsaber blade', so that the shafts line
up. Might not stand to a close inspection, but from a distance it should
definately look cool.
