When you get down to it, it also underlines the fact that maybe from a narrative standpoint lightsabers aren't meant to transfer well into video game mechanics.

In the OT, the lightsaber was literally framed as an elegant weapon from a more civilized age. To watch it chop up enemies left and right would kind of tarnish that message and the idea of Jedi being monastic guardians of peace. When I was younger, I always thought Yoda and Palpatine were themselves beyond using lightsabers by choice, having gone further above in their respective teachings.

Then we got the PT and lightsabers were in fact chopping things (droids) left and right like it was a video game, and Yoda and Palpy each had one of their own and I feel that's another knock against the PT from a personal standpoint.

Anyway, that's my philosophical take on it.
