I am with with Thecrazyweirdo on this one. Knife is not something found in Star Wars infantry unit, so I would prefer to smash opponents with the butt of the weapon like what you do in Republic Commando when you have a pistol. This wouldn't be 1-hit KO but it would effect your aim and lower a good amount of health.
