Flash Point Show n' Tell

The latest Developer walk through for Star Wars: The Old Republic show a in depth look at one of there flash points.  I have to say I'm mighty impressed and frankly I'm seriously excited for it's release.  It looks challenging yet doable and very fun.  The only thing I found slightly odd was, why does the Jedi have to pull items out of the ground?  They already have ducking spots for smugglers so they should have items lying around to be thrown.  But that's a matter of opinion I guess.
