well, assuming that in the KoTORO universe everybody wouldn't HAVE to be a jedi, there would need to be some fairly extensive reworking of the balance in the game. Getting one-shotted by a jedi who can deflect your every attack seems a little... extreme.

Unless everybody has to be a jedi, but then there's not much you can do with your character to make him or her unique beyond a purely superfcial level. There are only so many force powers that the developers can throw in to a game, and there are going to be certain builds everyone will want.
