Cant progress past where you obtain blaster stance from bode/hit dummy

Yes, you will still get stuck there.

I've tried everything including changing the key bindings and turning off tutorials and restarting the save to no avail. So what do I do? I guess stop playing the game?

Looks like turning off the tutorials did the trick for me. 3rd time playing through and 3rd time I've been blocked by a game ending bug. I hope this run will work. 

Only the F key for Force attack will work.  You must have Force attack bound to the F key.  That's the key you have to use to fire your blaster.  No other key binding will work for firing the blaster.  I know how you feel, it's extremely annoying that EA still hasn't fixed that bug.

I had the same one.  Make sure that the F key is bound to its original binding.  No other key besides F will work to fire your blaster in this tutorial.  You must use the F key to fire your blaster.  No other keybinding will work.

@Duparquet  If you changed your key or button binding for Force attack, please press the original key or button first, then the one you're using now.

Alternately, reset the bindings to defaults, then go back to what you want to use once you've made it past this point.

I am having the exact same problem  I can not break away from the test dummy     it won't let progress any further    If I restart  the game will I get stuck back in the same place ? 

I'm  stuck in the same place  can not progress any further  in the game   heavy  glitch 

@theoldgasman  You're supposed to press the key for special attack, F by default.  If that's not working, try turning off tutorials in the game settings.
