guys please stop going offtopic. This has nothing to do with midichlorians, bullets, dodging or whatever. We have a good question is to why they dont use Vibroblades on droids....one of you had a nice point, which I think is realistic. Is the case closed now?

No but you don't understand what I mean. I mean if Blaster shots are one hit one kill=incpicatate then what is the point of a vibroblade? Anyways everyone is getting offtopic with this whole Matrix and bullet thing. The question for me atleast was answered...Vibroblades are because the blasters couldn't get through the energy shields, while a sword can. And the reason that the OT and PT don't use vibroblades is because blaster rifles have evolved enough that there are no energy shields that can stop them. So...case closed I guess.

@metadigital: Makes sense, so your concluding that the SW era blasters can go through energy shields and thus vibroblades are useless....that explains it! Well I think that makes a lot of sense now actually

@Drakron- Sorry let me elaborate. When I mean like bullets, they: 1.) Move fast enough that non-Jedi cannot dodge them deliberately 2.)One-hit= one kill (or wound or just incapicitated) I mean't they are like bullets in comparison of RL era to SW era

Hmmm...Energy Shields, good point... I know KOTOR is thousand years before the SW Saga, but if these Energy Shields are so useful against blaster fire, why do the seemingly more advanced troops use them in the original, and prequel sagas? BTW, Please don't take this post as an "Star wars sucks, look at all these contradictions", I'm just trying to learn about this oddities, since Im not that big an SW fan

I'm just wondering, I've only been playing this game through once as DS so I don't know if this cutscene is shown for everyone, but I think the ending (you know the is ruined by this cut scene. Immedietley when I saw this cutscene I knew the ending, I don't understand why they had this....it basically told you she was bad. Does this cutscene only happen for DS? So I guess her being Sith is a "good" thing, I guess...

Ok, other then gameplay wise, let's just assume this: Blaster Rifles are like bullets, they are usually one hit kill or if some soldier has nice armou a couple hits (even the stormtroopers had armour, they got knocked out/killed in one hit). Now in the game it makes sense that a non-Jedi character has a sword because so they can defend themselves close range, but other than fighting against Jedi, why do they carry around Vibroblades? It doesn't make sense. If Blaster Rifles are like bullets, then why in RL don't we see people carrying swords either? Now you might say it's to counter Jedi, but aren't Jedi mostly extinct now? and even BEFORE, why would ordinary thugs carry them to fight a group of a few thousand? Now, some of the swords like maybe those short short stun sticks are realistic, but other then Hanharr who can "shrug" away a blaster fire, what are the point of Vibroblades? The biggest thing I don't understand, is why do ordinary soldiers have them? Hey it's POSSIBLE that some thug would want a Vibroblade, maybe, but a soldier? I mean, using the era's logic, in RL the soldiers should all have back-up medieval swords in close quarters(yeah they have bayonets and knives, but thats WAY different). So other than for gameplay sake (and I'm NOT arguing there! perfectly realistic for gameplay sake) can anyone explain to me, using the SW Era why they would use Vibroblades when a blaster, just like a pistol in real life, can still work in close quarters?
