As mentioned previously, Jedi are vulnerable to explosives. While this is a far cry from a trooper (or eminently breakable battle droid), it’s certainly a viable option that bears consideration. Whether through rolling, blasting upwards or flying sideways, players should do whatever they can to keep from getting hurt (as Star Wars fans were by the game’s troubled launch).

Worst of all, Aerials pack a Rocket Launcher that is just as unblockable as all other explosives.Īs an Aerial, make sure to stay mobile. Try to block them as they’re raining down fire? The Jedi is then exposed to incoming shots from the ground. Try to hit them with a lightsaber? They’ll take flight. There are a range of reasons why the jet troopers are a heck of a headache for a Jedi. It’s also critical that players can blast the Jedi with their blaster while they swipe hopelessly at said piece of cover. This seems a bit obvious, but a long piece of cover like a row of boxes is preferable to a thin bit of protection. The prospective Jedi-killer will still be vulnerable to Force powers, but as long as there’s some annoying bit of the set between them and their victim, they’ll stay alive in this once-controversial title. Now, this might seem a little low, but since lightsabers don’t slice right through portable shields and trees as they should, players can go ahead and hide behind them.
