I thought relics were suppose to be Unique to each toon?

I completely agree, relics could be so much nicer if they had been a little more creative. While it's understandable to me that the relics of the Jedi are mostly their lightsabers (would be nice if they looked a bit different each, like you said) , why do other characters only get their regular gun as a relic? The whole thing would have had so much more potential if they went more into the individual characters.
