That's prettty much how it sounds. Jedi at some point would have the ability to take control of our pets away from us. Our weapons. WAKE UP DEVS AND EXPLAIN YOURSELVES. Never seen such a bunch of incompitent and cowardly developers in my life.
Our response will be nothing but silence. Jedi are too much of a priority around here...
Don't be an idiot, the sky is NOT falling despite what you have convinced yourself of.
The Jedi commands listed do 2 things, one calms your pet, which is basically a "peace" command. And the other makes it run away. Someone panicked and hyped you all into thinking it turns your pet against you. Besides, if you've been watching the forums you'd know that Jedi are looking at these skills and saying "**edit** am I ever gonna need these skills for?"
You compare your pet as a weapon which is thin at best. A BH's LLC does not tank for him. A swordsmans scythe cannot take the hits for him. Your pets can, so you have an advantage, if anything. Can you imagine someone sending their Scout Blaster into combat while they sat there and used another scout blaster on the enemy? Like I said, its thin.
Lightsaber damage. What makes you special enough to think your pets should be exempt from LS damage? All other animals and armor have the same vulnerability to LS as your pets do. No reason to whine for special treatment for pets.
Please, if you have an argument to this, make it sensible, no more conjecture.
wrong jedi commands wokka. those are /animalscare and /animalcalm ur thinking of (dont feel bad, a few weeks ago when the discussion was starting lots of ppl didnt really reaserch the issue either 
). /mindtrick, the thing which is the issue here, stops our pets from attacking and forces them to attack us. since pet command lag can be quite disgusting at times, its really not an easy fix by telling them to stop. and in all honesty, our pets really dont tank for us at all in pvp. i sent 2 of my pets after one guy, he COMPLEATLY ignores them, runs over and beats the snot out of me in 3 seconds flat, and kill both my pets in 2 area moves. ergo, they really dont tank at all, and when i see em trying to hurt a tkam or other defence stackeri see little numbers which go -3 and -12 every so often until he unleashes /uberl33tTKAMareattackkill-everything-within-a-5-mile-radius3 and kills em. and about where you said jedi think the skill is pointless, i can go back and drag the thread where one jedi came flaming in here (yes, flaming.) about how 'hey u n00b CHs stop trying to nerf us by making us lose our skills go back to being pointless players again'. so basically, they do care, even thou that jedi insisted SEVERAL times the skill was pointless, yet strangly, he sawthe skillsleaving as a big old nerf.
now, ill agree that for the most part pets should have no LS resist, but the point of it is, many many times in the movies have we seen great beats which a lightsaber has little to no effect on. rancors, in fact, in many books are told to have limited force powers (mainly for tracking prey) and im sure theres gotta be other examples. therefore, no special treatment, only fair treatment considering how 'true to the story' this game is supposed to be.
and one last thing, true the sky isnt falling now, but once CH gets more powerful and jedi is FURTHER improved, they WILL get the force skills tree and be mind tricking us all over the place, compleatly eliminating us from the pvp world and any attempts the devs may try to balanceALL combat proffesions.
