When you're playing with a close combat weapon, the obvious combo to do is to pull in the enemy (or somehow catch up to them) and then follow that up with an attack. But as far as I know, light side heroes can only push their targets away! This is pretty infuriating because I have to spend a lot of the game chasing after targets to get close to them.
Am I playing wrong, or does anyone else share this annoyance?

Everyone else is push.
Makes sense with Yoda and Luke since they can just dash follow and be in position before the enemy gets back to their feet but Obi Wan is kinda fucked lol
Their solution is to increase mind trick time. Now that's how to balance a hero!
Lol all out push——> mind trick——> close gap and wail on the attack button.
Rinse/repeat
Yeah, my experience playing with Obi Wan just now is what prompted me to make the post!
Yeah for the most part I only really use Obi’s push to either clear choke points or to make groups of heros fuck off for a second so I can focus on a duel....
Or those sweet environment kills.
Using all out push in a duel is super pointless though
Anakin is so far the only one. Luke, Yoda and Obi Wan all have variants of push.
I don't really share the annoyance, getting pulled is extremely annoying from a blaster hero perspective as it basically means certain death. Also note that the equivalent on the other side - distancing you from blaster heroes by force - only exists very weakly in Hans detonite blast.
Giving it to multiple people could be problematic.
Take advantage of the terrain - push them into walls etc. - or pair up with a blaster hero to make the most of pushing. Luke can also use his push while jumping, this can push people more into the ground rather than far away.
I think Anakin and Obi-wan both can
Obi-wan has a charged force push. Only two hero’s have pulls, Anakin and Kylo, everyone else with a force ability minus Vader and lightning abilities has a push
-Yoda -Luke -Obi-Wan (I believe he has the longest possible range when fully charged, plus it can be aimed freely unlike Yoda and Luke) -Maul (technically)
Anakin?
Oh man. I haven't played with Anakin yet so I forgot he existed. What a moron I am! Guess I will start playing with him more.
Better do it soon before he gets nerfed again lol
He'll be alright. Judging from vaders buff anakin isn't being touched all that much
Hopefully a nerf to retribution charge time by ALOT
