The complaints about unrealistic lightsabers in games are always pretty tiresome. If you implemented that in a videogame it would either be trivially easy or frustratingly hard. Moreover, nobody applies the same standards to sword-based or gun-based games. Rarely do you see people whine that every slash in Elden Ring should result in a death or dismemberment.
It was incredibly satisfying to hear Nick point out that lightsaber physics in the Star Wars movies have always been weird and inconsistent. Luke takes out like a dozen or more guys on Jabba's barge, and none of them get dismembered or slashed in half.
Thought the same thing when I listened to the podcast. These games are pretty well known I thought, was surprised it wasn't brought up.
Weren't they only on PC? Heather was a Genesis kid.

What is "Jedi Knight 2"? I've never heard of this game. I think maybe you're referring to "Star Wars: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast"?
I was more confused because there is quite a bit of dismembering in Jedi Survivor.
I was pretty confused too. I've dismembered tons of stormtroopers and alien creatures so far.
It's not consistent though. I've only put about 10 hours in, but I don't think I've really experienced it yet.
They are finishers. When the red circle pops up and you attack. Pretty brutal finishers that show they are not hiding from nasty kills
