I was curious when the double xp ends. They said Tuesday it would end and then I read that it ends when the server goes down at 4am on Tuesday. I thought it would end Tuesday night :S

Nope, if you live in the States, when you wake up tomorrow morning double XP will be turned off.

Wait till patch 20, when that goes live i am sure they will have to give it all over again.

BTW who else here thinks that because of the double xp we will be seeing a "baby boom" of jedi?

Right, i'm sure double-xp will be back on before you know it, though probably not for a whole week again, at least till 2006.

As for the double-xp ending early, i'm kinda bummed too since i was out of town for both weekends, and could've gotten done with the grind in one more day. But I got most of it done and considering i have to wait till NEXT phase II to get 6th unlock, it's not a problem.

Plus, i was able to get my other guy from CL5 to CL75 during the weekdays of double xp, so that was cool.

As for the jedi baby-boom, that was/id coming regardless of double-xp. Honestly, i didn't see hardly any out in hunting groups this whole week on my server. Maybe they were all just grinding on Kashyyyk?!

"Baby boom" or "Jedi boom" is not a bad way to describe it. I don't think it's going to be as huge as it seems though. To really get it done, you had to be in a position to grind effectively before the double XP started or get in one very quickly. By that, I mean already being glowy and having a template allowing you to make large XP deposits at the village. Looking through the FS forum, a lot of noobs were trying (and failing) to get glowy at the 11th hour, so we know the worst of the noobs won't gain any benefit. I can't speak for all servers, but on Starsider many of the grind groups I was finding were focused on getting their regular professions ground out, not the Jedi grind. Also, I suspect a lot of the "3133+" powergrinders will lose interest and move on before they unlock their phases.

It might end up being 1-200 new Jedi per server, but when you're talknig about populations of 8,000 or more per server, that's not huge.

I think that without a doubt we will see a Jedi boom, we are already seeing it. Those who had all their unlocks are now padawan, and a lot of people are waiting for phase changes. So, 2-3 days after each phase change, there will be exit quests all over the place, and a ton of new padawans that's for sure.

Here are 2 things I noticed:

The two weeks of non-stop /respec allowed almost any padawan to be ready for knight trials. I mean, a novice box was worth 1 point, a tier-1 box points all the way up to a master box worth 6 points. So, you could trade in 2 novice boxes, and 4 tier-1 boxes (which requires 2x20 and 4x200k of xp (840k total) for a master box that requires 3.2 million XP. That, was ridiculous.

Then, they give us DoubleXP week, which turns out to be QuadXP week for FS grinders as XP was also doubled when converting. Result, every padawan is now ready to go knight, and every glowy is not ready to be padawan. Ultimately, a LOT of jedi!
