None of this is valid in reference to the point, which is that when you hit someone with a lightsaber, it shouldn’t bonk off them like a bat
I didn’t disagree with the bat discussion, just the “More horrifically violent injuries please!” bit.
But since you bring it up… I do disagree that it’s used like a bat in that scene but it does look enough like a bat for me to concede it’s a totally valid criticism of ROTJ. TFA handled it very well I thought with little bits getting sliced off Ren and Finn, without resorting to gore… then again it did get a PG-13/12A rating.
