No wai! A Jedi class?! I never saw it coming.

This is what I was waiting for, aside from the release of the game, of course.
8)

I really hope they make Sith and Jedi something that someone has to work towards, because otherwise the game will be rather stupid with all the little children running around with a lightsaber thinking they are cool.

RaithHarth, it's called the Galactic Civil War, not the Darth Vader era. Thats like saying the Clone Wars is the Count Dooku era, or like saying SWTOR is the (whatever the apprentice of the highest Sith master's name is) era.

If this was during the Darth Vader era i'd agree with you Roboitowns, but since this is 3,500 years before that time, Jedi & Sith are more common so it makes sense to have a bunch of jedi/sith running around.

I bet people on windows ME could play this game if they didn't have a bunch of junk cluttering up their hard drive and they had a decent video and sound card. Sims 3 only took a little bit, and that was a MASSIVE game.

I know what your saying, but it shouldn't be like ok lets create a Jedi/Sith character and then you level him up like a normal class. There should be a way to become sensitive with the force and then become a padawan to a master and go up the ranks like so. (Of course it would differ whether the person is trying to become a power Jedi/Sith) Also, I think this is already considered because the developer videos say that every decision you make affects your game, that decisions should effect your force sensitive character, because Jedi's should have that mental conflict of the Dark Side lingering on their decisions.

Hate to be a critic, but the animated jedi you have on the holonet page doing the twirls looks really lame. I mean really, he looks so iffy.

He's supposed to be a great jedi? Defender of the Republic? My god he looks more like a weak little baton thrower wearing a costume.

Made me lose some confidence in the game just seeing this. But w/e, never planned on going Republic side anyways.

sorry about that
something stupid happened

you would think that in a star wars game
this class would have been reveled first
doesnt matter
the jedi looks great

Well I know what class i'm going to be :D

Hey, if i remember correctly, wasent throwing your lightsabre at the guy Darth Vaders move?, and therfore that talent should belong to the sith?

No mention yet if the "old jedi mind trick" will come into play, and if the sith will have an equivalent "interrogation" skill.

Well since there is the conversation thing, jedi mind trick would probably come into play there.

I am hopeing for more abilites to unlock as you level.the force shouldn't be limited to push pull,jump, choke and lighting and tossing your saber. so many games in the past have left them to this.I must say though the light side is looking a bit nicer. I like the differnt saber hilts and robes. the cool thing is the sith had the ability to make armor that would resist lightsaber damage and slices. so who has the upper hand....

All right! We get to see the class we've all been waiting to see! :)

thnx for the update! Can't wait.

Awesome. I am so looking forward to playing this.

Finally Jedi has been revealed. I started to get tired of information about the Sith and the twisted and short minded dark side. If there any of you still out there that's for the republic, lets rejoice because soon we will have our chance to restore the republic back to its glory. Jedi FTW. Bioware keep up the good worked, this has really made my day.

So Awesome, I will be a Jedi Knight, Jedi Rank Supreme.

i agree with nilbog, all classes should start neutral. otherwise, everythings looking great!! keep it up

with the exception of jedi and sith warriors of course

is the content on the pages worth the load time wait??? ive literally been waiting for the holonet, media pages for 20 min. what gives????

The Jedi looks amazing! I am wondering if there will be a talent system, that will allow you to choose melee dominant like to guardian, mix like the sentinel or force like the consular.

Ok I have A question,Why is Bioware going to restrict Classes like Bounty Hunters,Smugglers and Troopers to One Faction. Are they Trying to say the Empire Does NOT have Smugglers or Troopers?? Or that the Republic NEVER hired a bounty Hunter? Come ON! But other than that can't wait for this game!!

Saaaweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Jesus.. I didnt mean have that many replys.. I dont even know how that happend

vvvvvvv

same here must be server lag... everyone checking out the Jedi

Speaking of videos, has anyone noticed how fluid the combat looks. I like how the weapons actually make contact with the mob as opposed to games like WoW where you may be 5 feet away and it doesn't look like you are hitting the enemy. Also the force push looks really good so many games just make a character drop to the ground without the small intricate details. Really great work!

This video, and all the pics it came with answers my question on if we get to customize lightsabers.. in one of the combat videos it shows the jedi wielding a lightsaber with a sweet hilt the had a huge diamond sticking out.

Now the question becomes , of what we have seen would you prefer the knockback/down force push or the force choke which seems to leave you open to counter attack(as seen in vids).

I like how in the class page for jedi knight it shows pictures of saber staff hilts, I don't think they have mentioned staffs until now :)

its about time they got the jedi out
its been how many months since the sith came out jeese

Looks like they finally fixed the lightsabers.

This is just a taste of what the jedi class will be in the game. Just wait till more come.

Great Update! Keep em coming Bioware!

Good going

But I would like to see the same thing what they did in the sith Warrior unmasking in the game Sith Warrior &Bounty Hunter?

Like Jedi & Trooper or Smuggler & Jedi maybe Trooper & Smuggler one or all of these in the next few weeks!

I do not understand why there´s so many surprised people. It was more than obvious, that Jedi Knight will be playable class. Imagine, what would be it-Star Wars, without legendary Knights of Light...

It is nice pleasure anyway to read about Jedi Class and see some new information in SWTOR.

May the force be with you developers :)

Still no match for a sith warrior.

Darth Bane can go **** himself darth krayt is awesome.

The Sith already ARE a perverse, base, defiled version.

The fact we all know that the Jedi and Republic will win, and the Sith and its Empire will be completely destroyed and will never return in that form again; the Republic how ever will continue and stay in tact after the war.

exactly my friend

"Two there should be no more no less. One to embody the power the other to crave it."
-Darth Bane

tisk tisk...you should know that there can be only two Sith; a master with all the power and an apprentice to chase it. anything more and the Sith become a base and defiled version of themselves.

I hope the game is like kotor where you can chose force powers from both sides of the force. Also have it where if you are a jedi, dark side powers are not as strong as the sith and use more force energy. vice verse for the sith. Another nice thing would be if there were force holocrons scatter around the galaxy, so players would able to have abilities that others would not normally have. Also same for other classes.

Aw look at all the wittle wannabe Jedis.

Join the Sith or die.

What's with all the stupid comments bashing other classes? Here's an idea: if you don't like a specific class DON'T PLAY AS IT and shut up! If you don't want to play as a Jedi, that's fine, but spare me your stupid comments!

Anyway, great update, Bioware! Keep up the good work!

They're not wannabe, they're just foresighted enough to know that the Sith die a few thousand years later, anyway. Duh.

Finally! I know what class I'm playing.
