Seriously, that girl blocks a lightsaber thrust with her hand.

Yea, I'm not sure how much bullshit bioware can come up with.

Bioware themselves are good developers, but christ, where else have they seen someone block what looked like a stop thrust with their open palm.

If you've seen the bullshit they've come out with in this game, it makes KOTOR and KOTOR 2 pretty much useless and inaccurate. They can come up with a good game, they just can't come up or follow proper continuity.

Didn't Corran Horn pull that off once as well? Heck, maybe they got it from us. We've been talking about how awesome it would be for someone to do that for years.

Heh, Gideon'll like this idea at around the 1.10 mark. That might actually be a great idea for the star wars revision, Palpatine as the main character. Now that would be an interesting prequel. ✅

From what I've heard there is an actual Star Wars MA that involves using the force to do stuff like that.

So **** you guys.

As for that Reach trailer, what if they had a Battlefront 3-esque (before it got scrapped) concept where there was no transition from being on the ground to being in space? That'd be cool.

I think I've waited my whole life for a game that plays almost exactly what MGS: Rising is shaping up to be, down to the real-time point cuts and controlled JedifocusFORCE!bullet-time sequences.

I should've made so much money when I was little. Fvcking Kojima...

I'm hoping Bungie/Microsoft/343 Studios get the License to use the Battlefront Set up for Halo, I would shell out £100+ for that.

HOLY OMG

I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME AND BE GOOD AT IT

I genuinely think the video game industry is picking up the slack of cinema, music, and the Red Cross. So much goodness this year.

Wong from cracked disagreed with you.

You do realize that the Jedi in the TOTJ comics are used to absorbing starship cannon fire with their bare hands and conjure force shields capable of absorbing heavy artillery fire? Technically, Luke does the same, when he is confronted with the AT-AT in the beginning of Dark Empire. And Coran Horn was capable of gripping a lightsaber blade with his bare hand which resulted in "minor charrings".

So neither did Bioware come up with that ability, nor does it contradict established canon.

That wasn't what I was talking about.

Bare hands? So he wasn't even being protected by the Force when he grabbed this blade?

Nai
And Coran Horn was capable of gripping a lightsaber blade with his bare hand which resulted in "minor charrings".

Under extraordinarily controlled circumstances he held his hand lightly against the blade of a completely cooperative Ganner Rhysode, channeled the energy into some Vong contraption (yes, matt, he used the Force), and practically collapsed.

Now, Vader blocks a blow from Roan Shryne with the back of his hand and apparently grabs and overloads Aurra Sing's lightsaber, but no one's ever quite done what the TOR Jedi did.

It looked to me like the thing was cracking in the middle. Thats whats really confusing.

Thanks for the clarification Faunus 😉. I was going to say I remember the bit about Vader, but someone doing that to that degree?

no, what she did with that saber is RIDICULOUS. If THAT ability could be learned.... If THAT ability actually exists...

Or... Perhaps these ancient Sith have inferior lightsabers?

Or they were just plasma swords? Or Energy batons? :L
Hell thats like blocking a real life saber stop thrusting. IT'd go through our hand.

"aiki combat"?
