The Heroes never wore armor but the mooks did, so in the game higher level PC's and villians do not need armor. The force is only supposed to work against the weak willed, ie mooks, not vader and as has been pointed out, it always comes down to a lightsaber duel between skilled force users.As for the insane talents/skill/feat combos, In Saga, characters start at between 18 and 30 hp plus con mod. These are not the equivalent to 3e first level characters. They start higher power level and end with a similar power level. Low level characters can easily have a large number of options in combat. For example a scoundrel at first level had nearly as many force powers as the jedi due to their feat allocations. The scoundrel just had to use every feat he got to do it and the jedi got it free and chose not to spend any feats on force abilities.as for the skill example with use force, yes it's possible and a bit of a broken mechanic with that skill specifically but such skill abuses are available in 3.5 as well a rogue with an 18 charisma, maxed ranks in use magic device and two feats can effectively sub as healer and arlillery with a small selection of wands. at level 7 he no longer needs to roll to do so. Granted, it's not the same as being able to dominate all they see at level one but the abuse is there.</blockquote>
