Current Events > Disney ruined star wars.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lightsabers can no longer dismember people.
The hint was already there in episode 7 when Finn took a lightsaber to the back and is fine a bit later. The. It was either Rey or Kylo took it to the face and got just a scratch.

Now we know 100% it is true since new star wars game is confirmed to no dismemberment.

Lucas should have never sold it.

He did so out of spite. Only explanation.
---

SW wasn't so great under Lucas.

the only good one that he directed was ANH, and RotS was alright, but that's about it.
---

Just accept that Disney has made crap for a long time now. Star wars is no exception. Just remember that Disney is a name. nothing more. A name with capitalistic power. And massive influence with media
---

---

when did Finn take a lightsaber to the back?

and Kylo's face was only scared because it was just the tip.
---

TLJ did more to ruin it than lightsabers being nerfed. Nobody should have had any faith in Disney anyway.
---

Lucas lightsaber

Can cut through anything but another lightsaber.

Disney lasersword

Deals extra damage to robots, terrain and buildings.
Can only superficially wound bilogical life.

---

Tell us something we don't know about Disney.
---

So you're saying that Star Wars was ruined at some point that wasn't The Phantom Menace? I don't understand.
---

Snoke was literally cut in half with a lightsaber. This is a fail topic.

Episode 7

It knocks him out instead of kills him.

Ironically I watched a video analyzing the trash portrayal of lightsabers in 7 and 8 before I read the news of banned dismemberment in new game.
---

Finn getting tagged in the back and Kylo getting tagged in the face were clearly just glancing blows with the tip so why would they be dismembered?

And this isn't even the first game without dismemberment, both The Force Unleashed games didn't have it.

Cut in half?

It just stabbed his side and then he fell over dead.
---

Hell Finn is nearly killed from said glancing blow and has to spend some time in a bacta tank.

He was cut in half. His top half falls away.

Did you actually watch the films?
---

Star Wars has always been a series full of garbage with just a few good films, Disney at worst has just been producing more standard stuff for the series overall quality

Yeah, the blatant glancing blow I was talking about.

You're aware that clip proves me correct, right?

No limbhacking is all it takes to ruin Star Wars?

About what?

Kylo had a clear opening to kill him and just...didn't?

And this is not because disney didn't want a human dismembered by a saber?

Finn got cut so badly it undid an entire movie's worth of character development.

Uhmm...In The Last Jedi a lightsaber literally cut Snoke in half.

The other examples you gave were glancing blows that didn't pierce or penetrate, not unlike in Empire Strikes Back when Luke bopped Vader on the shoulder.

To be fair, if the argument is that Disney has neutered the weapon, pointing out that they go out of their way to make every hit a glancing blow doesn't exactly counter his point. They are still the ones doing the choreography.

Luke knocking dudes off the skimmers with his glowstick is just one more reason RotJ sucked.

This isn't what you were bitching about at the start of this topic. You were implying that Finn should have been dismembered by that blow. It clearly shows that it barely clipped him, and immediately put him out of commission to the point where he doesn't wake up until the next movie. That's not "a bit later" like you imply.

He's below Kylo's notice at that point, no longer a threat, and Kylo's much more focused on the saber that he so desperately wants.

This isn't hard.

I noticed you didn't bother to address the fact that dismemberment isn't really all that common in Star Wars games, even in the Lucas era. Hmmmm.

He doesn't play the games either since hardly any of them allow dismemberment including KOTOR.

Outrage culture doing its thing

That wasn't his initial argument, he's moved the goal posts.

I mean, even with the hit kylo did, it should have severed his spinal cord and made him unable to walk.

Can a bacta tank fix a destroyed spinal cord?

Nah, it's not. Your initial post says nothing of choreography and you didn't bring that up until people started pointing out that two of your examples should not have dismembered to begin with.

You can't even remember that Snoke was cut in half, though, so you really have no idea what you're talking about.

Your op argument was dismemberment is no longer in Star Wars, you were quickly corrected, then you moved the goal posts to continue arguing

Yes it was.
Lightsabers hitting people aren't allowed to dismember them.

So far just snoke is exception probably because he is an ugly inhuman.
---

So... youve never played any Star Wars games, huh?

Or... seen gameplay of other Star Wars games.
---

You know it's such a minor thing but the lack of dismemberment really does bother me with Fallen Order.
---

Gotta love how you won't acknowledge that even the Lucas games rarely had dismemberment since it dismembers like half your argument.

I mean, Jedi Academy is beloved to this day almost entirely because of its lightsaber combat and dismemberment.
---

You can count the number of lost limbs in the original trilogy on one hand. Not every lightsaber swing cuts a limb off. You really have to mean to do it.

And you are wrong .
Both in that it doesn't happen and it predates Disney in games.
