Why aren't personal ENERGY SHIELDS common in Star Wars? | Star Wars Lore

We take a look at personal or individual energy shields in Star Wars, and examine why they aren't very common! All that and more on today's Star Wars lore video!
The material from today's video comes mostly from Star Wars Legends, but should apply to Star Wars Canon as well!
