I don't know if luck has anything to do with loot or not but from my own personal experiance:
One month of hunting in the Geo caves before luck:
1 Geonosian Sonic Blaster Schem
1-2Sword core schems
1-2 Reinforcement schems
5-6 base agent sets
5-6 Base cube sets (Non white)
1 set of cubes with yellow titles
Some credits and tons of crap loot.
One Week of hunting in the Geo caves after luck:
5 Geo Blaster Schems
10-12 Sword core schems
10-12 Reinforcement schems
10-15 Base cube sets (Non white)
8-10 Cube sets with Yellow titles
4-5 Sets of agent with Yellow titles
Double the crap loot and triple the credits.

Just FAO everyone who doesn't already know, a change was made a while back so that all NPCs always have at least credits to loot, you'll not get the 'nothing of value' message. This has nothing to do with Luck.

I don't have any skill points in luck and your 1 week of looting in the geo caves, equals 2 buff sessions for me...

Anyone know what you get for completing the luck quest?
An organic survey tool.
You too can find this information by going to "search" and typing in "jedi guide".

Hey...didn't Obi-Wan say that in his experience, there was no such thing as luck? Why are they making a whole force sensitive tree based on it?

I thought the same thing. The only thing I can think is the Devs wanted to offer a tree for the Smugglers or other classes who wish to follow in Han Solo's footsteps. If I remember right, Han Solo is slightly FS, though he doesn't believe it or embrace it. He calls it Luck.
If you think of it in this light, if fits.

i figured id get luck with my one free unlock... and so far im 50-50 about its effictiveness, if your doing a very lame afk looting macro, its perfect, because it means everytime you loot a corpse you ge tmoney, thus the corpse dissapears, and another guy spawns... so in that way its good cuz you can get lots more loot ina shorter space of time... and i did loot a de10 schematic, and a de10 barrel in about 30 mins since i got luck... which was nice

The skill window (ctrl-S) says: "This will affect things like the amount of credits you loot (etc)..."
Now, like the original poster said... the skill window isn't known for being accurate, but bearing in mind that this is a new perk it might be more accurate than the description of fan shot and so on. I think it affect other things as well. I too have imagined I'venoticed an increase in better loot. Although it is just a feeling, one might consider luck +4= 4% chance for better loot, which isn't that much.
There's no such thing as luck...? well, that was before the random generator for PC was invented.
Okay, there's no such thing as luck... but that depends on how you define it.

i had a fairly lucky character before this new FS village/skill path.. i used to loot things like twin force crystals and crystals from day 1 from very low level mobs
then the village FS path started (after i did 6 unlocks .. i was so unhappy) and my luck seemed to have been alot worse.. hardly ever looting anything worth 1 cred never mind looting it
i went to the village to claim my unlock and took the free luck tree..... it has made a massive difference to my character as any in my guild without the luck tree will tell you...
from ns elders :-
4 premiums
2 CA's and AA's +18 for skills that are broken.. but high non the less
ns lances that have +15-20 skillmods
from ns rangers, stalkers, spellweavers, protecters and their smc equivelent
250 crystals of quality good
lances of very good quality and mods +5-+15
From rancors :-
bone armour bracer with +9 resistance poison +7 resistance desease +6 resistance fire
composite armour bracer +10 resistance to poison +6 resistance fire
mabari pants +10 def vs KD +7 def vs Stun
Exeptional rancor bile
yellow quality rancor bile, teeth and hide and padded armour segs.. alot higher than the usual yellow quality drops
from troopers:-
holocrons x3
leia posters x7
ca's and aa's +3 - +6 about80 or100 .. all stored on my guilds vendor so my guild can use em
dot weapons and mod weapons +5 ish and 15% potency (dl44's and dl20a's good for a low player to grind with)
from mokk and janta:-
200 crystals colour and damage (always fair)
blood, blood and more blood
and the usual dot knives and staves
from tusken fort:-
6 ca's and aa's of +7ish mods
rifles with 2 speed and mods
17 colour crystals always tan or yellow
schematics for the new tat tapestry and hide about 20 or so
all this has dropped in the last 4/5 months for me.. how many of you, without luck +4, can say that they have had the same?
i'm also told by a few jedi that it benifits the chance of getting a good tune on crystals
smugglers say it adds to a better chance of a good slice..
now you may think that this is just hear say .. but what if its not?
