Saber throw

Thanks to this ability, the character can attack player who is slightly more away. It is done by throwing the lightsaber as if it was a boomerang.

Deflect blaster

If you will hold the aiming button, Vader will cover himself behind his sword for few seconds. The shots fired at him will be reflected back at the shooter. Not only can you protect yourself with this, but kill the enemy with his own weapon as well.
