It's actually referring to Dr. Doom, I just usually shorten it. I've actually never played any of the Doom games, just never interested me.

Disney has nothing to do with this, Disney made Deadpool, remember?
The game is having concessions made to reach a wider audience as a business decision.
This is like when Terminators and Die Hard sequels began releasing at PG-13 ratings, always a bad sign.
Then again, I'm not sure I can recall any M-rated Star Wars games, can anyone cite a precedent for Star Wars games where dismemberment was allowed? Probably should prove that first before crying that the franchise has been watered down.

Actually the lightsaber cauterizes the wound so it makes perfect sense that there would be minimal blood. When Luke, Anakin, Maul and Dooku all lost limbs in the films there was minimal/no blood.
There is no doubt that limbs going flying adds to the gameplay as well. It adds an extra layer of player feedback and makes combat feel more visceral thus improving the feel of the gameplay. Take the glory kills in Doom for example - these greatly enhance the feel of the combat. You shame your username.

That I already said refers to Dr. Doom and I know you read it because you reacted to it. And no, for Star Wars I don't think stormtroopers' limbs flying everywhere would enhance anything, so forgive me if I do doubt that.

I can't say that I play Star Wars games for gore and dismemberment. Yes it happens in movies but more times it does not. I can not even honestly understand why this is even a thing. Can't say I remember dismembering anyone in the Jedi Knight series, or even the Battlefront series. This is just a bitch in crackers moment where edge lords want something to bitch about and point at another side.

They have dismemberment in the LEGO Star Wars games.

I might sometime (probably gonna be a while, fucking rest of 2019/2020 is packed with games I will play as soon as they're out), but I admit I'll probably get to the Wolfenstein games first since I already own the first two of the recent ones, just haven't had time to play them yet.

Is that really a bad thing?

Because of how lightsabers work, cauterizing the wound, dismemberment in a Star Wars game wouldn't be like most violent video games. It wouldn't take away from the story and if anything it would add more detail and authenticity to the gameplay. Maybe it isn't mentioned enough but the physics of a game, or how things react to each other in the game world, can really help to immerse the player.

Bullshit. It would add literally nothing but something for weirdos to fap about. The devs have said that dismemberment will happen in powerful moments and dramatic moments. They have also said that you will be able to dismember droids and many other things. So someone wants to actually tell me that a Star Wars game, more so a Star Wars game soley with a Jedi protagonist and not some moral ambiguity will be lessened because you can not go and and dismember every person out there at will.

Lmao at all the clowns acting like this is the first Star Wars game ever to NOT let you dismember with a lightsaber.

It's okay to have GTA(and others) games out there with sex, violence, and drugs mimicking real-world situations, but having a fake laser sword cut off an arm in a completely fictional universe? That's too much.
And before you say GTA is rated mature, go play it online and tell me how many of those kids are of age to play it. It doesn't even fucking matter, kids play whatever they want.

What does that mean? Cutscenes?
Yeah, droids and spiders, but not stormtroopers. Why hold back if they're all out to kill you?
It doesn't even need to be every person. It could be every third or fourth kill. It depends on the encounter rate for each level. Obviously if you see it with every stormtrooper, it will get old fast.
Then be the first Star Wars game to do it. Get people to post GIFs about it like they do with every other AAA game doing something cool, or we can just have the game come out and see people post about how "it would have been cool if they did something more with the gameplay, physics etc".

So it’s okay to hack someone to death with a nerd sword, but pieces can’t fall off. One of the only really good things about the Episode l games was the ability to hack droids into pieces. It just seems a bit dumb and needlessly restrictive.

Dismemberment is like a major motif in the Saga. It's not a surprise, but not because it makes sense to stop doing it.

Um...who cares? Far from a major thing I’m thinking about when I’m playing the game.

One of the most iconic scenes in the entire series features a dismemberment.

Disney's like.. we got an image to uphold. Think of the children.
Same Disney that made the Marvel TV MA rated shows on Netflix with extreme violence, cussing, sex, and drugs.
Hypocrites.
