The
Star Wars saga is rife with dismemberments - which is only natural given that the most iconic weapon in the films is a sword comprised of a laser.
However, some took notice of the fact that, in the recently unveiled
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay footage, there were no dismemberments to be found.
IGN recently asked what's up with that to Justin Perez, the senior designer working on the upcoming
Star Wars videogame.
Perez explained that the player will be able to dismember their enemies
"in select cases." Basically, you will be able to lop off the limbs of droids, spiders, and other aliens, just not anything too humanoid.
"Blame the Disney branding folks for that one, it seems," the report goes onto say. Disney are of course known for their family-friendly content. We should've really presumed this to begin with as there hasn't been a single dismemberment in any of the recent
Star Wars movies.
