There you go RiG Jedi Knights!! My alt will be a Jedi Knight-Sentinel, so I'll be posting here as well!

Once our guild gets deep into the "Story Arc" of the Sith side, I plan on focusing on our Jedi-Republic guild. I plan on rolling out my Jedi-Sentinel, "Qui-Gone Schwinn"

I think the dual-wield sabers is wicked! We always wanted that in SWG, but the SOE dev's cared not about us. So, this is kind of a "vindica'schwen" so to speak! Hehe.

Who else is going JK??

I'm rolling Jedi Guardian.

And I'll be the best one you'll ever see

They all said that.

Look at Anakin...

Yeah, I get a feeling Kai will be our very own Anakin...


Shall I already order the Vader suit?

I volunteer my services to lopp off a limb or two...That way, ole' Kai can be reborn as a Dark Lord of da' Sith!! Wooohooo!

Hey, I can be confidant in my abilities and caring for my guild and fellow players right?

Also, I don't hate sand, or have a whiney voice that constantly bitches about his lost arm or not being made a master....or...man Anakin was a ball of emo angst.

He was a bit of a "whiner" was'nt he? How'd THAT become Darth Vader??

You're just jealous of MY EMPIRE!!!!! woops.


And, have to say it.

Nobody puts Baby in a corner.

No, you're absolutely right.
All the Skywalker men are crybaby, whiney little girl-children in big boys' bodies.

Wow, all the new information on Jedi is causing activity in th Consular corner, but here it's crickets. ("very quiet" for those unfamiliar with that idiom). These article make me more likely to play a Jedi Guardian as my second alt so that I can get my lightsaber fighting fix.

Partly for me, I'm trying to keep myself on information blackout of a sorts. Basic info from the game is fine, friday updates and such, but I'm trying to avoid further (had a bit of the Knight story spoiled by a friend) spoilers for me. I'm also willing to wait to see the abilities in game, so I'm kinda on cruise until game launch when it comes to classes right now.

*Edit* Did read the bits about companions, and I'm quite pleased how they're being used so far. T7 can generate threat or the Knight, and it's pretty cool that you don't have to worry about them aggroing things and that they're CC smart.

The CC smart is great, especially for people who aren't sure about every class being a pet class. This info should also be good news since pet aggro was always such a big deal in group play (though I never personally had any trouble controlling pets).

I read a few Knight preview, but I generally avoided the spoilers.

Also, we already knew a lot more about the Knight than the Consular.
