i am a jedi. i go back to the village to unlock branches each phase. i don't look like a jedi when i do but iam there for a reason. i just unlocked melee defense branch because i didn't have it before... i plan to unlock survival eventually... there may come a time when jedi xp can be traded in for force sensitive xp and i may wish to change around my force sensitive branches... like for instance if luck or persuasion ever have some noticeable effect. i intend to eventually unlock all force sensitive branches and get the quest rewards for them also.
jedi should be able to return to the village like every other force sensitive.
i agree that what those two were doing was selfish... but at the same time, the fact that theyare jedi is irrelevant.don't subscribe to ideals like racism or sexism that characterize entire groups of individuals by the actions of a select few.

I wouldn't worry about the loot part. It was likely just for XP (mabey not), but the loot on Sith during phase 4 is garbage, if you get anything except the non-stacking resources. Nothing like the nice stuff they drop in Phase 3.
It's no suprise that jedi get a bad rep because of these maggots. I see this sort of thing all the time. In general they're just PvPers that learned the lesson SOE taught us all, "Bigger weaponsare all thatmatter" and the lesson the internet taught many of these children, "You're safe in your house, there are no consiquences, don't worry about anyone but yourself". Thats the main reason most people on SWG become jedi. It's sad really.

I've seen this exact same problem in the village.
There were Jedi just smokin' all the pirates and outlaws. It sucked, but I just got away from them and found an open spot where the folks understood how this Phase works.
Let it be known to anyone doing the Phase 4 Saguillo mission: you do NOT need to use your most savage specials against outlaws and pirates - let people get a hit in! Don't use your uber max damage weapons, don't use specials, work as a group. There's no sense in destroying a pirate in 2 seconds when 15 people are trying to get a hit on them - you're just pissing everyone off around you.
Pirates are most definitely the most important ones to watch out for - go easy on them! They're horribly weak and horribly rare in the Phase, let everyone have a shot.
I saw countless players obliterating the Sith when I was doing the Phase 4 quest. GO NUTS ON THE THUGS ALL YOU LIKE, but man, take it easy on the outlaws and pirates.
I was just astounded at how dense people were - the 15 people behind you aren't watching how uber you are in killing Sith, they're cursing your name for preventing all of them from doing the mission, too. If you're solo - go nuts. If you've got fellow quest-takers around you - work as a group!

I had to resort to running in circles spamming fan shot, this was the only way i could interact with the targets before they could kill them. I think they are there for skill tape drops, a guy in my group looted a +8 carbine speed tape.

I agree with you completely.. That they were Jedi is irrelevant. And yes, Jedi should be able to return to the village. If they were just unlocking new branch for themselves, that's perfectly fine. What's not fine is that for whatever reason, be it loot, xp, callousness,or just deliberately out to ruin someone else's day, they didn't let anyone else a chance to progress and finish a quest that, if not completed soon, cannot be attempted again for 12 weeks. Having someone ruin your Krayt spawn is nothing, it's annoying, but you know what? You don't have to wait 12 weeks for another Krayt to spawn.
If this episode has served no other purpose, I guess, then the one thing it has done is shown a lot of future Jedi how *not* to abuse the power granted to that particular profession.
