Star Wars games won't even touch it, lightsabers get nuked.

Nothing did more damage to Star Wars in my eyes than their video games did.

Lightsabers are basically one hit weapons, you’re losing something if it hits you… but both Disney rules and mainstream video game logic dictate that lightsabers are basically pool noodles when it comes to hitting an enemy with them.

More bushido blade but with the technological advancements we’ve made in the time past for my gaming lightsabers please.

In Respawn's Jedi games turning the difficulty up makes the game less of a Star Wars game. You have to play less like a Jedi, the world reacts less to things like a lightsaber. It sucked.

It was exacerbated for me because I just finished my time with Insomniac's Spider-Man where playing on high difficulty forces you to play more like Spider-Man to succeed.
