Obsidian estimates that you'll have about 30 new Force Powers and 30 new Feats to choose from, in addition to the majority of the ones that were in the first game. (Some old Powers/Feats were dropped because the team determined they weren't useful enough.) New powers include the malevolent Force Crush, a crueler version of Force Choke that lifts an enemy off the ground as it painfully crushes and contorts his body. Force Scream damages and stuns all enemies in a radius around you, and Force Sight shows you another character's Force alignment and allows you to see through walls.
The number of new weapons and armor hasn't been decided yet, but one of the highlights we were shown is a Boba Fett inspired wrist-mounted rocket launcher. Lightsabers will be mostly unchanged except that more colors will be available, such as silver, plus darker and lighter variations of the existing blue, green, purple, red, orange and yellow sabers.
