FAQ: (Jedi Related)
Can anyone become a Jedi?
Yes, anyone can follow the path of the Jedi but like all professions mastery will require time and experience. The new Jedi profession will be equal in combat effectiveness with the other professions. It will still however deliver on the promise of the Star Wars Jedi mystique and will allow players to “live” as Jedi in the world of Star Wars Galaxies.
"The new Jedi profession will be equal in combat effectiveness with the other professions." - I don't like this statement, period... as i'm sure the majority of our entire player-base would agree. I am confused... It has been stated that the initial reason for this massive re-vamp is to make the SWG experience more "Star-Warsy" and more like the movies/books/canon/etc... yet Jedi are going to be EQUAL to in effectiveness to any other profession... how is that anything like Star Wars? Jedi were THE elite... Characters throughout the star wars saga who had learned the ways of the force were the equivilent to dozens of trained soldiers in combat. In every single movie the Jedi/Dark Jedi was a great force to be reckoned with... no simple "profession" could stand toe to toe with a Jedi, no matter what the circumstances... How can this above statement be true to Star Wars in any way, shape or form? Furthermore... Many of us have put a great deal of ourselves into achieving the status of Jedi... including, but not limited to Time, Effort and Money (Real and In-game)... only to have all of that marginalized to the effectiveness of any other profession... it hardly seems right, fair or just.

Wake up buddy, much of the turmoil for the last 2 years in this game was over the "privileged" status of jedi. It all started when they let players getjedi, and they tried to accomodate it over and over again since then with no success.
Now they finally got the balls to do something about it. I wouldn't worry about it though, since jedi is a starting profession, 99% of the players will be one, then no one will be uber because everyone will be equal. Although I'm sure, since a lot of people are "natural" whiners, even thenwe won't see the end of whine wars.
