Jedi Specific Loot.
I know that people are sick of jedi (well some are) but the fact remains that they are in the game. Jedi's options for gear is very very limited, they get robes, gloves, and a hat really. They can wear normal clothes if they wish but really I feel that having say... Exar Kun's Cape in the game as a Unique loot drop or just some artifact of clothing from some past jedi knight. These items could even be restricted by rank in the FRS (thus using the same equiping script that the robes use) Examples of things lootable could be Capes, Robes, Masks, Cloaks, even crystals that are used DURING construction of a saber to symbolize the fact that you've found the saber of an old jedi and removed parts to make your saber more like theirs.
I'm not saying to loot stuff that makes you look like darth vader, nothing from characters that are currently "alive" in the game should be lootable but there are alot of options in that route.

i actually quite like the idea of maybe
Cape - Dark Jedi
Cloak - Jedi
As a cape is more Dark Jedi'ee than a cloak (Dookoo(sp?) wore a cape and vader's was part of his chest plate)
Obviously though the Master Robes include a cloak on both sides, and council member is like the grand mayoral robe design sort of thing.
But i definatly think there should be something else that Jedi can loot to wear

wow what a good idea.
Think about in KOTOR, how u can loot things to enhane your saber, even outfits and masks that make your character look like a true Dark Jedi, or Light Jedi even. So far all we've seen in this relm is the Teal crystal available from the Village, which is neat and all, but i think its safe to say we would love to see more things like this. With the way the Force Ranking System is completely and totally borked, this would give Knights something else to do. I know my Knight has been reduced to collecting badges due to sheer boredom lol (try gettting 75 badges badge with no prof badges, rarer than Jedi Knight i guarentee).
Think how neat it would be if there was some difficult quest only an ungrouped, solo Knight could do. Content based loot for Jedi/Dark Knights. Maybe I'm crazy, but this would be just awesome to me, I mean we did put in all that work for Knight, it'd be neat if there were things like this only we could do.

You guys had 2 patches devoted just to Jedi, and now you want special loot, too? Just for you? What next, a Jedi-only planet?

Dont you read the Jedi forums?
Someone already suggested that. Just because Jedi had 2 patches 'devoted' to them does not mean that they can be locked away and never looked at again, you have to remember from before the patch that Jedi clothing was not restricted, now it is it makes it harder to wear CA's

I agree. Fun stuff that you know that Jedi will use, and at the same time allow the Emperor and Darth Vader find and kill the Jedi.

Rather than the compulsary 1 sentence replies as soon as someone mentions Jedi, why not post something constructive for a change?

A planet for jedi sounds great. Then we can ship them all there like a leper colony.

Jedi specific loot? How about Imperial specific loot? I would love to be able to loot and use things that only Imperials could have and, if you were not an Imperial, you could not attain or trade for. If you were an Imperial and had the item, then went rebel, it would automotically be deleted from your inventory/house/bank/etc.
It could be things like unique pieces of armor, weapon enhancers (because Imps use the best things), motivational posters, data cards, actual holo projectors and what not.
Oh wait, you hear that huge roar in the background? That's from all of the rebels mad because there is something in the game they can't use (look at all of the old ATST posts). Now, let's take a segment of the population even smaller and give them specific things AFTER they already had two patches TOTALLY devoted to them, which no other profession has had (the droid/chef/ID revamp involved everyone because these wares get sold). You don't think the roar would be louder.
Y'know what, I'm all for giving jedi one more patch. This one will give them the saber TEF back (something you new jedi know nothing about, but still seem to complain).
