An underbarrel particle beam weapon ignores polymer/ceramic armour.
A concussion gun ignores any armour that isn't sealed or has specific concussion protection (like a concussion helmet).

Obviously the feature is designed for locking blades, which technically lightsabres shouldn't be able to do because they usually ...

What I'm saying is the spacecraft in star wars do not move anything like gravity being involved other than to provide typical atmospheric flight forces (thrust/drag, lift/weight). The star wars spacec ...
