This video is from main forum user Thnx4smoking_1. I don't think this is the only trigger to this BUG, 2 people already reported Phasma's or Iden's stun may trigger this too while Anakin is using retribution. The video provided may not be very clear, as it's hard to know he can't do anything because we can't see the player pushing buttons and nothing happening, so I suggest reading the posts in the main forum to check this: https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/131080/game-broken-i-lost-my-ability-to-swing-block-and-do-any-of-my-abilitties-except-passionate-strike

    @MasterPadwan77 
    The Heroic Might issue can be found on this report: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Stuck-in-heroic-might/m-p/7611037

    One such case I managed to reproduce was palpatine's Dark Aura making Anakin stuck in Heroic Might if the aura damages Anakin as he's about to release his Heroic Might.

    @o_JA50N_o 
    In GA it can be a death sentence indeed, but if you manage to get an enemy villain near you, you might be able to get unstuck if he manages to saber attack you, melee you, or use an ability which staggers, immobilizes, or causes a forced movement effect. I believe besides Bossk and Boba, all other villains have at least one such move (as it's highly unlikely a villain will melee you).

    In HvV OTOH, it's far easier to get out of this BUG without the need to die/respawn
