    At the basic, pointy end towards the bad guy, swing it and try and chop bits off while they do the same level, no nothing has been lost. What has been lost is are the skills and training that would let a Jedi turn anyone else not trained to the same level into a pile of diced pork on the floor without breaking sweat. The equivalent of putting you or I into a boxing ring with a professional boxer. You know how to punch someone, but you'd still get mashed by a pro.
    This. In the six films, you see very different fighting styles adopted to suit the individual - Yoda has more of a problem fighting Palpatine than Mace Windu does, for example, because of their differing styles (if you read the book, it explains exactly why Mace can do better than Yoda or any other Jedi); Qui-Gon fails against Darth Maul yet his apprentice (with a very different style again) manages to win.

    So the core ability of "swing, hit" hasn't been lost - the loss has been the ability to adapt the fighting style to the individual, since there have been no true Jedi about for a while to do that.

      Looks promising – no sign of any stuffed Henson muppets which is good. Bit worried about the Borderlands equivalent of Claptrap on there but definitely can see touches of the Abrams gravitas in there which is good.

      Although she's a more mature and interesting woman nowadays, I think I'd still like to see the delightful Ms Fisher in some skimpy space attire. Or her daughter at least.
      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
