[2020] Being Melee'd by AI when playing as a lightsaber hero is a pain in the ass

Whenever I attack the AI in co-op they just melee back and I lose a huge chunk of health. What's worse is that their melee attacks are unblockable and deal more damage than normal. Lightsaber heroes in co-op are just unplayable right now unless you can one shot them. Not sure if this is intentional.
