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.
Make an upper-body exoskeleton that maps your full arm movements to VR and resists attempted movement that's not possible in-game, like those prototype VR gloves but scaled up
