Ok ok ok ok i got it I think i have the answer to the cant kill the jedi thing when a BH or some 1 like that fights them right. I read in one of the books that the dark jedi of the empire created this devvice that consisted of 2 paddles and a hip worn unit it was set tothe complete opposite frequency of the force and when activated it would sorta make an anit force bubble around the wearer and everything in like 50 meters it also had a second function that the 2 paddles were used for they were made outta this semi transparent material that they help up to the suspected jedi and if they were pulling in the force in any way it would show it on the paddles kinda like a view finder that showed the flow of the force and if they were useing it they would glow blue or some other color. But i read in one of the star wars books it was one of the old ones where they went into sorta detail about how when the empire started the jedi exterminations headed by the notorious boba fett that the sith gave the jedi hunters or the real "force hunters" which were jedi these jedi detection devices and force nulling devices that gave the bounty hunters a little leverage over the jedi it sorta mad the jedi not able to use too mucth of the force in a fight as long as the bounty hunter had the device activated. But i thunk it did say they had a sorta time period they could work and there were ways for the more powerful jedi to over come these devices by ridding their beings pf the force detaching them selves from the flow thats how yoda and ben kanobie survived all of those years. I just wanted to poast this bucaus im working with yall on the TC and i was fighting a jedi today adn it sparked that memory. I hope this can help some inthe jedi pvp fighting system. U could prob like sell thm as factional things
1 for sith 1 for jedi. that specifically targeted the 2 " flows" of the force. I hope this helps I also published this on the open discussion form what do yall think a DEv reply would be nice. Just to show if u like my ideah or something **edit**

Listen up Folks. the only things that have even come close to being Lucas Arts saction in stopping the force has been the Ysalimandi lizards. the Lizard creates an anti Force bubble due to a Biological system that they are privilaged to have.
I like the Idea of Custom Saber Hilts.
There is much to be done as of yet. I wish you guys luck.

no no no no
I know that lusas arts has to sanction what ever is used in the game but im not saying that they hve to use exactly what is written in the book im saying make a unit that a player can wear that is activated only during pvp fighting for instance im on test center bria right and i got woned last night 37 times by a jedi knight i knocked him down 1 time the only reaso that he was able to resists all of my attacks was because e was using force shield I say make a device that a pvp player can get from their respected guild that makes an anti force or a force dampening bubble around the 2 fighters. **edit** they had the basic concept ideah in the book or heres a nother one in i think its Tyrants test or one of the books in that series there was this being that was a force "void" and any pese of that being when in contact with a jedi would remove their force abilities for a said ammount of time but the stronger jedi were able to keep some of their force poers because hey were more indepthly trained in the ways of the force. I mean **edit** the jedi are suppose to be god like but they are just regular players. And as for jedi armor there never was any thing that told of how jedi robes gave special protections fomr different things they were meade of force sensitive materials that when force was applied to them they enhanved the wearers movement skils or their mind skills or there attack speed but they rarely gave uber defen se against everything in creation like they currently do

Can there be a system for jedi so that they can gain and loose lightside and darkside points?
for instance
-I was killed by a jedi yesterday for no reason...maybe there could be a penalty toward light side points for preemptive attacks.
-I had a dark force adept help me out with some animals on dant... saving me ...could there be a penalty for that
things like this would do 2 things
1- keep the jedi in line...too many of them roam around killing us just because they can
2-Make their journey more realistic and possibly discourage more people from becoming jedi just so they can kill us all...thus enhancing the quality of the jedi..(and the hatred of the dark jedi by the rest of the galaxy members)
just an idea...i hope you consider it

can there be a jedi punishment system...like loosing lightside or darkside points
for instance
-i had a jedi kill me the other day for no reason- could he loose lightside points
something like this could do 2 things
1-control the jedi= to many of them run around killing us commandos and tk's just cuz they can or cuz they think they are right..this isnt the way a jedi would act at all...maybe a dark jedi...so make someone who wants to be a true jedi have to follow the code (we all know it)
2-bring the number of jedi down= a jedi with too many dark side points could then become flagged...helping us eliminate the problem. we can only attack jedi if they attack us right now..and usually when they attack us it is too late.
giving them an actual path to follow would at least make the galaxy full of jedi at least somewhat enjoyable for those of us that dont want to be jedi

I think light jedi most definately should be able to build up darkside points. I think a overt imp being slaughtered by a lightside jedifor just sitting there getting a buff would be considered an action of the darkside...in "lucas'" world at least would start themon that path.
I am neutral so I dont care eitherway for rebs or imps just part of the lightside path.
Common lets get down to it and make this class the way it should be.I think finnally your starting to wake up with the new system but lightside jedi should not be rewarded for evil actions! No matter if there is a GCW, I never saw Luke or Obi pulling out there sabers and slaughtering Storm Troopers randomly without cause or in defense of themselves or others.
No one said the light side was easy infact just the opposite and if you dont like this post to bad its the way of the lightside you know it and I know it.

Whole Quest ideas
As a person starts doing quests. Give that person a crappy light saber. So as they move into their quests they can trade it in for even a better one. Stats will be raised on that person depending on what kind of quests they are doing. Social could add on to the mind and combat adds to strength and action. Explorer into health.
NPC’s players might interact with throughout the quest
Asa person progress in becoming a jedi. Have them be trained by different major characters such as yoda, darthvader, obiwan maybe.
Progression quests and trial ideas
Quests should have a person decide if they are worthy for the dark side or light side. Players shouldnt be given a choice. It should fall into what kind of person that player is by giving them choices on some quests and having that decided if they seem more on the dark side or more on the light side.
What skills a Jedi might use on these quests
Jedi can use knowledge that have been given from other jedi. New skills aquired in order to beat more resistant enemies in certain areas such as kinetic dmg.
Quests for different profession types, for instance, social quests, explorer quests, combat quests, etc.
Have a player go around talking to different jedi and getting an understanding of the force and doing missions for them. social POI that lead to certain locations of jedis that can be very fun otherwise it seems like a waist of time. explorer Duel opposite light side vs dark side jedi quests. Quests getting harder as you go through them. combat
Player interdependencies and cooperation’s
All jedi can form their own councels and set up different guilds from other non-jedis. Do guild quests.
Jedi Titles earned through the quests from Force Sensitivity to Jedi master
Padawan after 1st big mission
Jedi Knight Mellee mission
Jedi Master after completing all missionsJedi councel social quests
