I'm only going to be happy if I can have Khem Val carry around my inquisitor on a chair like it's his Bar Mitzvah.

I think you would have to have someone craft it for you. You would need a high enough valor level to equip it, though.

There should be a character customization option (think along the lines of companion skin customization) that lets you switch to the weapons and animations of your mirror class. A Sniper Weapon Unlock could be put on a Gunslinger, for example, and the the Gunslinger would be able to use a sniper rifle and vibroknife. Same with Mercs / Commandos, Ops / Scoundrels, etc. Force user classes use the same weapons as their mirrors, but some of the animations are different, so that could work. Or, although this would be more work, lightsaber classes could buy alternate fighting styles. A Maurader could hold his lightsabers backwards, or a Guardian could have more of a refined, Count Dooku type of fighting style, for example.

For gunslingers / Snipers Sharpshooter: a 4 second channeled rapid fire ability, usable while moving. Each second has a 20% chance to interrupt target's current action. Saboteur: Scrambling field grenade. A second scrambling field that can be placed like an incendiary grenade. Dirty fighting: an activated health leech ability, increasing in strength depending on how many DoTs are on the target.

For me, it's a running gag at this point. Me: "Can I expect any reinforcements?" Every Questgiver: "No, the entire space army is too tied up to help you save the planet."

Going forward with the story, it seems like it would be necessary to build on the endings of all the class stories, since they all change the course of the war in major ways. Is there going to be a "story so far" scene to catch players up on the state of the Galaxy, or will everything be kept vague in order to minimalize spoilers for other class story arcs?

A young Hutt might work. I think I heard that they start off skinny, and only grow to the size of a sedan when they're rich and powerful enough. That might be pretty interesting actually

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will roll a Smuggler.

Let me see if I understand you. You want an overpowered PVP armor set that looks like a cybernetic, rubber toga with shoulderpads and has a Transformer for a lightsaber that you get from a server-wide Ponzi scheme / battle royale with a strict time limit and unexplained rules, and you lose it all if someone kills you? How about we just wait for them to finish chatbubbles, and then we'll go from there

They said that they're moving from huge updates occasionally to smaller updates monthly, right? So far, we know that there are four major releases this year: Terror from Beyond, Ancient Hypergates, HK-51, and Makeb. Also, there are four months left in the year. Let's do a little math here. September: Terror from Beyond October: Ancient Hypergates November: HK-51, probably also Free to Play December: Makeb Don't worry, I'll only use my Uncanny Powers of Prediction for good.

The Jedi Council performs a ritual that severs the Exile's connection to the Force. It takes about 5 episodes.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but -- Color match to chest when previewing items. It would be really nice to see if a piece of gear would look good when color matched together. At the moment, you just have to hope that the pants you are about to buy on GTN are going to look good once you put them on.

Right now, I have her wearing the jacket and helmet here http://tor-fashion.com/2012/05/21/commandos-maelstrom/, although, you can find those of different colors on the GTN, and a headband might also work. Heavy Armor Jedi legs work best for her, I think, because they don't give her the thunder thighs look she has with a lot of trooper armor. Just try to look through the planetary comms vendors and match colors as best you can.

I'm not really a Jedi, I just dress like one.
