The Old Republic Delay?

The Star Wars: The Old Republic Website has a new trailer to highlight Warzones, a PvP element in BioWare's upcoming Star Wars MMORPG. The clip depicts the battle for Alderaan, the home planet of Princess Leia that eventually became a target drone for the Death Star. They also offer fans the chance to come up with a name for one of the Advanced Classes for the Jedi, as they equivocate about the name Jedi Wizard. They are conducting a poll to see if that name should be kept as it is, or changed to either Jedi Sage, Jedi Seer, or Jedi Adept. There's also a Star Wars: The Old Republic preview on GameSpot that looks at PvP as well as crafting in the game. Finally, there's a BioWare interview on Eurogamer.net where doctors Zeschuk and Muzyka discuss The Old Republic, as well as EA Louse and Mass Effect 3. One of Ray Muzyka's answers about The Old Republic's due date indicates the game's previously confirmed spring 2011 release window may be in jeopardy, as he now says of the game's release: "We're just saying 2011."

One shot kill would not work for any online game involving Star Wars and Lightsabers.
Heck, it wasn't even like that for the single player KOTOR games.
As for online, you would have to be a Jedi or Sith to even play the thing, since as a Jedi/Sith you'd just block all incoming blaster fire, force push back any explosives thrown your way, and walk right up and kill whatever was attacking you with one swing.
I also find it amusing to see complaints about what would be, in effect, GOD mode not being implemented when there's also so much talk these days about games being "too easy, too console, too full of regenerating health" and such. One shot kill would be pretty easy, in my book.
As for explaining it away, you could say personal shields block the blade from a one shot kill.
I seem to remember KOTOR having shields (something never in any of the SW movies that I remember seeing) and I don't really remember anyone complaining about that one.
Added this after the original post:
Now, if the implemented the one shot kill so it took some SKILL to do, that might, maybe, possibly could work, however due to the lag that randomly occurs with every online game I've ever played it might be hard to pull off. An example of what I mean, there was an older playstation 1 game, I forget the name, and in it you were a samurai of some sort and you fought other samurai. You could, if done right, pull off a one shot kill on an opponent, or slice the crap out of them too.
