Oh no. I can't think of any small knives showing up in the original trilogy, but I don't think that was out of any kind of ban.
In a lot of legends material, there are knifes being used. In the Thrawn books, which are some of the establishing EU, an officer under Thrawn has his throat slit in front of the crew. Visual depictions of knives, especially vibroblades could be found in games like Knights Of The Old Republic, and Republic Commando.
Yeah, I think you're right. And I've played KOTOR fairly recently too. I might just be misremembering something from a podcast.
This is off topic but your profile picture of Ian Banks looks like a very dramatic Jedi.
Yeah, on some level, I think that's always been part of the appeal of it - I've used it for ages.
