You've got to be joking. Right? You may not have entered the game with the right frame of mind. Were you playing it properly, and did you study all the combat moves? You might want to re-map your keys to optimize access to your force powers, as well as develop particular strategies. Remember that there are sudden moments where your quick reflexes are needed (bridges blowing up, snipers, etc.), and stay fully aware of your environments. You don't always have to run into a fight, it's possible to take evil Jedi out one at a time, and even use the environment to your advantage.

In the menu screen take advantage of the force powers upgrade system and maybe focus on your favourites. For your weapons, choose accordingly. For example, long range guns for huge environments (disruptor, blaster, etc. for the Chandrila levels) and short to medium range guns for smaller places (fletchette, etc.). The gameplay can be really fun and intricate, you just have to explore the nuances and tailor them to you. Play around with the various moves of each style of light saber until you feel comfortable with them. Also, remember that you can do special stunts like walk walking and jumping. The light saber combat alone is extremely intricate, take some time with it.

Remember that certain force powers can be countered with other powers. I know that force grip and lightning can be dispelled with force push.
