Sadly this can't be an argument since there are no dark Jedi besides Vader and Palps. If all Jedi were forced rebel, It would matter. Not like this game follows the movie anyways....

its just my personal opinion but.....
I think its stupid how people get all pissed off when a bounty hunter kills a jedi in the same faction as them..i mean think about this. a bounty hunter is supposed to be a cold hearted person who cares only about themselves n if they get a bounty they could care less if they are rebel and you are rebel its a BOUNTY HUNTER thats what they do, kill their target and collect the bounty who cares what faction their in. do you think jango fett or boba fett would care....lol well i dont.... a bounty is a bounty deal with it, if you choose to be jedi live up to the consequences dont use the exscuse of being an imperial and thinking all imperials should drop ur bounty, thats what bounty hunting is all about DEAL WITH IT!

I must disagree. No matter what your "day job" is (i.e. BH), if you are rebel or imperial you have chosen a side so you stick to it.
Unfortunately, this is a problem in the game mechanics by which we can have rebel bounty hunters. It makes sense that the Imperials are continuing to enforce their Jedi purge, so Imperial fighters will act on such directives, and it also makes sense that the Empire would hire mercenaries (i.e. neutral/civilians), a famous example being Boba Fett.
Personally, if I take a Jedi mark, and I get there and disocover the Jedi is a rebel, I will drop my mission because I'm a rebel too, and as such that Jedi is on my side of the war. So with the proposed fan fest changes coming through I do hope that they put a faction filter onto the terminals if they are also going to put unsuccessful BH's on the terminals too, because otherwise I'm going to be on the terminals a lot just because I won't collect a bounty on someone who's on the same side as I am.
The only other alternative I can think of is to change the game so that if you can only become a bounty hunter if you are a civilian, i.e. you are on your own side, no factions, because you're a cold-hearted killer, and conversely you can't join a side unless you drop all your Bounty Hunter skills.
I will kill same faction Jedi as long as there is no GCW going on. Everyone's so obsessed with Jeid grinding that the GCW has taken a toll. The rest don't want to go overt to just die in theed where 50 overt knights are waiting.
It's not whether someone can reconcile being part of a faction and still taking bounties on fellow allies, it's whether that faction would tolerate such behaviour.
I reckon it's ridiculous that a BH can take out a fellow imperial / rebel and that faction just turns a blind eye to it. So what if the Emperor said all Jedi must die? Sill doesnt make sense considering the Empire accepts entry to obvious jedi.
If the game chooses to stay faithful to that statement, then outlaw jedi joining the bloody empire. Silly. And kick out rebel BH who kill allied jedi. Bloody ridiculous. Just so that something is done to help it all make sense.
But yeah, not really that fussed 
Take care
Well really you have to ask yourself this, do you love being a BH? If so then what ever you areit shouldn't matter weather the jedi is in the same faction,or evena person you know.
Yes some people say its low but hey BH's need to make a living here, what are we suppose to hunt down only the opposite faction jedi. I don't think so, if it was meant for us not to then we shouldn't beable to get there mission.
Every Jedi is fair game.

You can't classify all BH as "cold hearted assasins" or whatever. I'm positive any BH has a reservation on who he hunts.

Again, I disagree with this point of view, but hey we're all entitled
Anyway, if the fan fest proposal of having a faction filter on BH terminals goes through, I'd say that supports the idea of staying loyal to your faction, in the very least, it's making a lot easier to do so if not out-right prohibiting it.I'm a rebel, and I'm a MBH (albeit respec'd), therefore I'm looking upon myself as an Alliance sponsored specialist, as an assassin of Imperial force weilders.
. The Empire is more formalized and tightly bound. But we still see corruption. It is possible that an Imperial officer will use assassination to move through the ranks. By working inside the system rather than using external faction BHers to do this he gets an added security of knowing that the person is "under his influence," and can be punished for stepping out of line in the future. Then there is the fact that ajedi that happens to be in the Imperial ranks can become more defiant and need extermination from the faction for reasons other than his "jediness."

I think it's more like a rebel jedi having a problem with rebel bhs:
- rebel -> which mean they oppose the imperial law
- yet the bountyhunter disregards this trying to apply the imperial law decreed saying all jedi should be extinguished....
As for GCW content: it would be cool to have all imperial troops and imperial aligned city officers to attack all jedi on sight. And rebel cities to attack only imp jedi... I think that was supposed to be happening... I have not seen it much however....
