The feeling of vertigo was a real hallmark of the level design that was in both Nar Shadaa and that level (Kyle's Homestead). While you're correct that early on it's very much a shooter, your lighsaber skills do increase over time, and by the end you hardly use anything else, reflectt every blaster shot that comes near and it's glorious.
