Soul Calibur IV

I've been somewhat watching this game for awhile now. Being a fan of fighting games and all. Seeing new developments on it here and there. When I first heard about more new extra characters I was hyped. Darth Vader for PS3 and Yoda for 360, now this isn't the first time they did something like this. With Soul Calibur II they had Spawn for XBOX, Heihachi sp? for PS2, and Link for Gamcube. I have every iteration of the francise though, I never have played it as much as Tekken or Dead or Alive. I do enjoy the sword play with out all the crazy special moves. The Star Wars fan in me was pleased to hear that they are being put in this game, as I enjoyed all the special characters from the Soul Calibur II (yes I own all three versions). While Soul Calibur III was a let down, Soul Calibur IV looks to be a step up. The thing that has been bothering the most is the fact that, all the other characters fight with normal realistic weapons. Darth Vader and Yoda have a light saber, which would slice through those other weapons with ease. I guess though thats just the way I feel about it.
