Oh, this isn't a KotOR only thing, its alive and well in current canon material... Quote Crushgaunts, are strength-enhancing gloves designed centuries ago by the Mandalorians. They are constructed from a reactive, polymer-enhanced material reinforced by beskar plates. When worn, crushgaunts increase a wearer’s grip strength to the point that they can shatter bone, crush durasteel, destroy weapons, and perform other deadly feats of strength. Thanks to their peculiar construction and beskar reinforcement, crushgaunts can even turn a lightsaber blade. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/5/15/taking-flight/ 1 Odanan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgottenlore 9,838 Posted May 29, 2019 Luke hit Vader pretty solidly on the shoulder in Empire and Vader only grunted, didn't seem to impede him in any way. For that matter, the guard rails in the throne room in Jedi (and, I think, on the catwalk in Bespin) take some really heavy blows and it is only the one that cuts off Vader's arm that slices through them. 1 Odanan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Visual Spoiler and Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide. I don't have any info about what's actually said about them in those sources, though. 37 minutes ago, kris40k said: What occurs during an individual playing session has no expectation to be considered canon.

I'm pretty sure none of the FFG SW RPG stuff is not generally considered canon, although what they put out seems to be shaped by the new canon stuff coming out, and they sometimes add details to existing canon concepts and those added details are sometimes taken as canon even if they aren't established in a proper canon source.

CaptainJaguarShark 2,050 Posted October 29, 2019 Honestly, not shocked at all by this news. I kind of thought they might be able to do political intrigue in Star Wars better than its been done before but maybe they really don't fit the universe that well.
