That makes Jedi so OP and broken. I can't even count the number of times on one hand I raged at the Jedi in the campaign anymore. Especially since they self-heal which is annoying.

This is usually where mines or any form of blasts such as rockets come in. Imagine if there was some sort of Force Shield or additional force ability that augments the defense of the Jedi and Sith.

It's funny i will occasionally boot this game back up occasionally when I'm feeling nostalgic, and it still holds up. Literal masterpiece of a game

The heavy laser fire can still damage and kill if i remember right from the original even deflected if it hits right, since the hit box is large enough to reach past the one of the lightsaber and hit the character

[@shaecouture7480]

One of tbe funniest things from childhood was in the original Battlefront, using the orbital strike on Vader on Hoth, watching him go flying into the sky but still deflecting the beams as he was blasted away

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I'm an impatient offense player, and when I did block, I'd still get killed by something so no idea how all these things like heavy cannons aren't killing you, or a random rocket to the back!😂

[@beagle3247]

Every star wars game's deflecting seems broken because the blade has an aura of force around it and is constantly invisibly teleporting everywhere and absorbing shots like a black hole. Which is what the lore says happens and personally I think it's just cool how realistic games like the force unleashed make it look.
