I'm guessing that if they offer a Legacy name change for coins... Lumberjack is going to become quite popular.

I for one am sick of seeing the overused lightsabers. Some variety will be good.

In Return Of The Jedi, The Emperor said "Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger." When he said this in the movie, it made me think only Jedi used lightsabers. Sure the prequels proved that wrong, but my Sith Sorcerer has no need for a lightsaber, because he has such a strong command of the force.

You think it's honestly going to wreck your immersion to see 3 or 4 people on the fleet using these, when there are players named "Wat-what Inubutt"?

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.
Star Wars has had a lot of "conventional" melee weapons for a long time... including axes (vibroaxe and normal), vibroknives, swords (both vibroswords and normal), etc.
There's nothing unusual or lore-compromising in that. In fact, I'd love some more variety like Rykk blades (common among wookies) or the gaderffii (gaffi stick) of the Tusken for example.

My God do people think before posting? This isn't a movie, it is a game. You have to have balance. Go back to GW2.
Did i say we want to one shot players? just freaking try to understand before you comment. i have GW2 but its a trash game and i don't play it so shut up here.

You say Jedi, I immediately think "ax". It's a natural part of the fantasy, and lore. This is going to be so great.
Cry more?
