In recent gaming discussions, opinions swirl about the lack of lightsaber pickaxes in past Star Wars collaborations. Many wonder if this time will be different given the heightened excitement around upcoming events.

Interestingly, this is shaping up to be the largest Star Wars collaboration yet. Some players argue it would be a missed opportunity not to include a lightsaber pickaxe. Reports suggest that surveys conducted by Epic Games indicate most players wouldnโ€™t mind a mix between weapons and pickaxes.

"At this point, lightsabers are just a wishy-washy subject," commented one user, reflecting the mixed feelings among the community.

Comments reveal varied sentiments about the potential of a lightsaber pickaxe:

  • Some are skeptical. One comment reads, "Honestly, itโ€™s just a pickaxe. There are some decent alternatives for Jedi or Sith skins."

  • Others want humor. "I want a lightsaber pickaxe thatโ€™s just one of the plastic toys with the extendable blades. Thatโ€™d be hilariously funny!"

  • Hope for iconic characters. Players express interest in iconic characters like Grievous, seeking not just skins but unique weapons or abilities as well.

Many fans reflect on past experiences, lamenting the missed chances for proper lightsaber representation. One user notes, "The closest we got was a samurai Vader katana."

What's the Hold-Up?

Some sources speculate the delay might rest with Disney controlling the franchise's direction. They seem to be preparing either mythic items or weapon pickaxes, but not both, leading to frustration in the community.
