Agility already has pretty much most of the combat skills attached to it already, as well as a huge number of non-combat skills. Adding Melee into the mix makes Agility too good.
I understand the concerns, but utilized in the right way, I don't think it would be a big problem. Particularly as it is only for certain weapons (as defined by the GM), like maybe a knife or a Katana-like sword or a short sword.

Also I think that it makes no sense for the lightsaber to use Brawn, because it is a weightless weapon where damage is not contingent on how hard you swing it. If it were me, whatever specialization has Shien/Djem So or Vaapad would have a talent allowing you to use Brawn instead of Agility.

So whichever PC should spend a minimum of 95 xp *Erm, 65xp, I should have looked it up, I thought it was a Tier 5 talent* , and become a Force Sensitive Outcast. That's even worse than just going for Ataru Striker.
