Well heres a great, albiet rather radical approach...
Stop weilding a Lightsaber!
Go on, Give up jedi! the game needs far less of them, after all.

Yes, but how many people did you see in the Original Trilogy Star Wars movies actually use melee combat? There were the Ewoks, Han against that one Scout Trooper, Gammorean Guards, and those sending Han, Chewie, and Luke to the Sarlacc pit. Why? Because they all knew you only used melee combat when absolutly neccisary, not all the damned time, like it was pre CURB. The only other times you saw melee were the Jedi. Simply put, Ranged Combat is Star Wars. While Jedi are exclusive to Star Wars, they're not everything Star Wars.

Ok so I've been hitting the spice kinda hard in the CU. Its no joke, and I agree it needs possibly just a few more seconds of downer maybe.. just 5 or 10. but spice as nowCAN KILL YOU. Its freak downer accidents where things are going crazy- you get incapped- downer hits.
Yea you go from Jeckly to Hyde and your this raging beast, but once the stuff wears off, your a joke who's wrecthing all over, suffering from various downers, hitting you sparadicly like a continuos downer, keep getting hit by the next downer.. different durations til downers..
You become a complete bafoon when it wears off. Its not unbalanced. Its realistic. Wait the doped up SOB out, once one of his weaker spices downs out (quicker)his gonna take a downer to his whole stack. Fight fire with fire, but there are the wise out there who will learn to just manage on food and booze, but I aint one of them.
You cant get all spiced up, but in the long run, your going down when it wears off all at once, and your going down like the junkie you are in a foolish gagging wreck.
Then.. Your in the middle of this fight right? You dont have anymorestacks of spices on your toolbar, you have singles which means you probably got to dig them all back out manually, get from crate or w/e,and your probably being hit by another downer while doing this all the while being shot at... Unbalanced? No just kinda humorous IMO, the spicers are not as smart and mighty as they seem but it dont stop me even though its killed me in strange ways like downer while already incapped... The your dead already but you'll stand up to puke some more as a corpse. Not too classy way to die.
