To be fair, Jedi Knight (dark forces 2) had a lightsaber, but was just not implemented very well.
However, this has been addressed very well in JO, though I know many people disagree. There is even a mod out called Pro-Mod, which changes the resolution of Lightsaber combat from random numbers to skill on the players side. Some people dont like this, though I have to say I favour it very muchly.
I think what a lot of people tend to forget is that StarWars, be it a film or a book or a computer game is there to be enjoyed, and the viewer will make what they can of it. Sure I have problems with JO, there are several things I would change, but I still play it, because at the end of the day it is an enjoyable experience. And it is not very often you get to run around with a big fat lightsabre, cartwheeling over opponents and trying to attack them from behind.
Jedi Outcast should be treated as what it is meant to be. A bit of fun.
