New gameplay footage for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor seems to have confirmed that Respawn has added the one thing that everyone wanted in the original - human dismemberment.

Thankfully, it seems that Respawn listened to the fans and added human dismemberment to Jedi: Survivor, as a new video from IGN detailing the five combat stances in the game, shows a lightsaber doing some pretty hefty damage to a stormtrooper's leg. Towards the halfway point of the video, IGN is showing off the double-sided lightsaber from the first game by having Cal swipe at a stormtrooper. As Cal hits them with the blade, the stormtrooper's left leg gets cut off, seemingly confirming that partial dismemberment is in.

Considering how requested dismemberment has been since Jedi: Fallen Order, you'd think that Respawn would be shouting it from the rooftops, but its silence on the matter and the footage being from a test environment means it's probably
