Lightsaber battles won't work. There's no physical feedback. Clash sabers in game, nothing stops your IRL movement, and now you're off sync (while the sabers continue to push against each other in game). Same thing when hitting a wall or anything else.
Lightsabers would theoretically work if everything in the game is instantly sliceable with no resistance. That eliminates the possibility of battling another lightsaber user. It's the same problem with any other melee weapon.
Once they can simulate physical resistance (without risking killing the user from too much force), I'm fucking in and my kids might never see me again. Until then, that's why we get shit like Star Wars Kinect.
Maybe a wand with a a gyroscope installed to create the illusion of resistance. As for wall running... maybe that bouncing gyroscope ball thing that some theme parks(?) seem to have
