Besides.. it would lead to people roleplaying ninjas. Ninjas in MMOs are bad.
Korean MMOs actually tend to implement weird, out-of-universe stuff, so that isn't helping your argument. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing a few of these around.

I could see an entire new wing of crafting in the game if they did these. Only specific force using classes/races could do the imbues..... which would really upset the blaster pointers and some races.

With big axes, you block the attack by planting said axe in opponents noodle box before they can land an attack.

Even better if you plant said axe by throwing it from range.

the worst than that is the THRONE which you can DRIVE!

now would it be kinda stupid for a Jedi/Sith to change his Light sabers with normal AXES? hmmm guess not because the freaking Axes gonna do the same damage as a light saber, WELL DONE BIOWARE!

Yea axes are a bit of a stupid idea, this isn't wow :/

Melee in starwars should be primarily lightsabers with a few techblades and staves like it always has been. Some guy with an axe fighting someone who is skilled with a sword type weapon and standing their ground makes no sence. Axes are purly offensive and are useless when it comes to blocking.

Horrible idea to have axes. I mean axes in SW universe? Ridiculous...

To me this just shows how unimaginative the current project directors/designers are. And it doesn't speak well for the future of the game...

Err Axes were before WoW, in fact Star Wars beat WoW on the Axes with ROTJ and the Gammorans.
