well im still deciding on going jedi. i wanna know.
1. how long of a grind will it be till i will be able to defend myself.
2.how long will it take to get knight?
3. and also do i have to wait for the phases to grind fs or can i just start grinding and unlock my boxes whenever i want. ? thanks for answers
1. most people start feeling comfy once they get master lightsaber or sabers 4 and techniques 4 along with healer 4004
2. depends on how much effort you put into it. one of my good friends was starting the trials last nite and made jedi a few days after JTL launch while i am still working on sabers3 and have been jedi for several weeks before JTL....
3. you can grind and store FS xp but you have to wait for the phases to unlock each tree you need. so yes you can store up XP in between the phases once you finish a branch

It's different for everyone. Depends on if you get vis a lot and die a lot and say "F this" because you are in the hole 1 mil jedi xp or some get bored after a week or 2 and do other things. Basically when you hit padawan you have all your skills. Once you start needing to use skill pts you will then have to start droping skills else where. Some people can hit ls 0/0/4/0 in a few days, some hit it in a week, some a month. Here let me give you some numbers then you can figure out your style.
you basically will take a few hrs to hit novice ls which is your main goal. You need 20k xp for that. What i did wasNOT get in a solo group and do 5k quenker missions. 2 spawn first so i tkm'ed one and then used my training saber for the 2nd. Now make sure NO armor is worn, not even a psg. It will take 10-15 mins to kill the thing. You will want novice brawler and use intimidate and berserk. You will get about 400-450 xp (if i remeber correctly) Then I would use my saber to draw more out. And kill them except 1 and then the last one i use saber. If you are a master medic or at least 0040 then you could probably do 2 at once. I recommend master medic for this because your heal speed is way faster. Anyways the lair i would get from 300-500 also (no clue why it kept changing). So you figure if you kill 2 quenkers and the lair per mission you get 1500 id say xp. It will take about 30mins give or take 5-10 more mins per lair.(you can get in a solo group for more xp but a lot more will spawn etc. so be careful) If you die you lose 4,500 xp before novice.
Ok so once you hit novice ls you should be able to do a lot more damage. Keep doing quenker mission till you get to at least 0030. Then i switched to huntresses which in a solo group gets you 805 xp. It goes faster then. So 200k xp till you hit 0010 lightsaber then 400k to hit 0020 then 800k to hit 0030 then 1.6mil to hit 0040 (that's how it works xp wise each branch in all categories)
So from there you can do your own math on a time frame. With 0030 i finish a huntress lair in 8-11 mins. So you can decide how long it will take and how often and long you play and factor in your answer.
p.s. Keep in mind though if you are vis and die you will lose xp. 200k for cloning not counting the xp loss from a BH. So it can set you back a lot. Some have quit because of dying to much.

No... it's not worth it... 
Unless you really want a Jedi... don't do it just cuz your bored... it's LONG boring and not very rewarding until your really high... like after knight trials....
