It could’ve used some dismemberments from what I saw when I was watching some folks playing it, but overall it did look kinda fun.

For some reason droids and creatures can be hacked to pieces but human characters---nope. Good ol' Disney censorship .

Thanks to Channel Awesome's clipless review I have a bit of an understanding on Rise of Skywalker. Oh I still need to watch it but I'll probably wait for Blu-Ray. Honestly if Rise's only purpose was to backtrack or undo The Last Jedi what Disney should have done was yank TLJ from canon, fix it up and place some of the elements in Rise in it then release it this year, then next year release Rise of Skywalker with all the story and plot holes ironed out. I can't really blame J.J. Abrams for Rise as all of his plots and sets where wrapped up in TLJ (THANKS JOHNSON) but Disney and Abrams should have spent another year coming up with a better flushed out plot.

Well tbh, that would place it in the slasher/horror genre a bit...

I mean, we are talking about Star Wars. It will always be PG-13 at max.

And I like that in Star Wars. It just wouldn't be the same if when Vader cut off Luke's arm and it started spraying blood all over. This is Star Wars; we're not talking realism so much.


To my knowledge anyway

Say what? ANH has Obi slicing some dudes arm off! ESB has Luke’s hand being taken off! TPM has Darth Maul literally cut in half! Khajiit doesn’t think he needs to mention what happened to Anakin (on two separate occasions!). The outstanding games Jedi Knight: Outcast and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has people getting all kinds of dismembered. You shouldn’t be able to swing for the fences with a lightsaber through somebody and all it does is simply kill them.


Khajiit has often wondered why there was so much blood in the Obi arm slicing scene in ANH. Wouldn’t a lightsaber (which one can only assume is intensely hot), cauterize the wound?

That's how I see it too; it closes up the wound immediately.


About the other: The way Reaper said it made it sound more slasher-like/centric, hence my response. I'm sure Khajiit has a point though

No, nothing gory. Just... separation. I think the aforementioned Jedi Knight games did a good job of making LS combat feel somewhat realistic without being too over the top.

A line not easily treaded, I'm sure!

Well I think there was a cheat code or something that put it over the top, lol

Or if anything; a mod

A real lightsaber would flash heat all the moisture in a person's body and literally cause them to explode into a red mist. Likewise, it would instantly kill whoever was holding it the same way. It would be like standing next to the Sun.

Well that’s no fun.

So I suppose creative license is kind of necessary in this case.

Perhapth!

Standing next to the sun you say ?!

Yavin 4 playset.

Disney changed the in-universe calendar btw.

It’s not BBY/ABY anymore; it’s BSI (Before Starkiller Incident) and ASI (do the math).

But have they changed which planet's years are being counted? That's where it would get nasty. If it's stil Coruscant, then it's simple addition.
