Play 'Star Wars Battlefront II' as a lightsaber swinging Pope John Paul II

Didn’t Silent Hill have a lightsaber mode, also? But definitely not PJPII.

ETA: Whoops. Brain fart, this is a Star Wars license.

I think I need to go back to bed and start over.

His form with that lightsaber is infallible.

Wouldn’t Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI be the canonical skin?

Isn’t that already included in the base game when you play the Emperor?

JPII using Form VII (Vaapad)?!

There hasn’t been a Pope who used anything other than Form III (Soresu) since the Reformation. I don’t mind a little creative license, but this is totally game-breaking.

Don’t waste my time with this noncanonical heresy. LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE!!!1!

That really doesn’t look much like John Paul II.

I have a sad none of the skins have a proper hat.

"During his time as pontiff, JPII was clearly a man of peace and love. "

You’re kidding, right? Casting a former pope as a Sith is entirely appropriate, although Pope Palpatine fits the bill better, at least for optics.
