Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 10 Gameplay Details The Trailers Haven't Shown You
4. Sheathing The Lightsaber Is Controlled
Another small but appreciated detail is the fact that sheathing and unsheathing the Lightsaber is completely controlled by the player.
We see Cal pull his Lightsaber out several times during gameplay demos, but it wasn't really clear whether or not that was controlled by the player or not. Respawn have now confirmed that this movement is up to you.
This seems to play more than just a cosmetic role too, as the Lightsaber actually seems to light up dark environments, as can be seen briefly in the gameplay demo.
Previous Star Wars games have had this feature on and off, but it mostly depended on whether or not the player was in a combat state. More choice is always a good thing.
Speaking of the Lightsaber, Respawn have also said that they've worked on the colour to make it more accurate to the universe. Just another little thing to show how much they care about their game.
