Hopefully the next movie will fix that.

Granted I have zero hope in Abram's ability to follow through on anything in a satisfying way.
I feel your pain.
Also, in honor of Bralia moving on to Kotor 2, I have decided to share the best Kotor 2 meme I could find.

It's because ofmoneymystery box storytelling.
The basis is that you come up with really good idea and hook, but instead of writing something out and planning on how that idea/hook will work, you just write whatever comes to mind or any idea you have to keep the audience from actually figuring out the reasons. This fails because you're going to have to come up with an answer eventually, and those who do usually either come up with something that doesn't live up to the hype or makes no sense because they have a deadline and need to come up with anything. (See Lost, Battlestar Galactica, etc...)

Gotta plan carefully from beginning to end. I know I'll be ass slapped to death for saying this, but even the prequels had a coherent plan despite how much they sucked on toes.

And TLJ did give you new things... you just don't like the casino and weapons dealers. Doesn't mean they're not a new facet of the world. (As opposed to wealthy figures who are crime bosses. Had lots of those before.)

I think this is how it feels for a sex addict to go too long without a fix. How is a Star Wars game like this allowed to deprive of you of a lightsaber for so long? This is a grave injustice.

I think its the worst of the new movies. 2/3rds boring, awesome last third, only 2 memorable characters, bland as fuck acting, horrible fucking timing.
It's the least 'offensive' of the new movies because even if you're a huge Kyle Katarn fan like me you're not going to grumbling about how it fucked up the lore or did this or that wrong.
Honestly there should have been like a few weeks gap between R1 and 4. Makes the Star Wars feel claustrophobic. Should have had the plans taken from the fleet and moved around until eventually ending up on Leia's ship. Having Leia be at that suicide mission makes no sense.

It's true, Kotor 2 takes awhile to give you a lightsaber. I seem to recall building mine after Nar Shaddaa (always my first planet), but I could be mistaken. But, on the flip side, non-lightsaber weapons are way more useful than in the first game. And you get Force powers right from the get go. No trying to best Starkiller at level 2 here. Out of curiosity, what order are you doing the planets?
