If the Jedi aren't completely wiped out, why should their ships be? Anyway in SWG the Jedi are like a shadowy organization that few are aware exists. Most of the respective factions Jedi and Dark Jedi are helping aren't aware of them. So maybe you could put a Jedi starfighter quest for the 3rd highest ranks of ranked Jedi?

I agree Jedi starfighters should be in, but if Jedi are going to pull the "oh it's realistic cause it follows the movies card" they should be slapped with TEFS every time they pull out their lightsaber, have a jedi title, or use a force power, and Imperial players should be able to shoot down any jedi starfighters they see since Jedi are hunted tirelessly by the Empire, there I said it, I never wanna see a "we should have this cause it keeps with the star wars genre" quote again, cause if they want just part of it that way IT SHOULD ALL BE THAT WAY.

IMO, we really don't need Jedi Starfighters. SWG has drafted so far already from the Original Trilogy and we don't need these prequel fighters. Include them and you open the floodgates for Naboo Starfighters, Trade Federation Battleships/Droid Fighters, etc. We will then have a **edit** child battlefield in space with Mon Calamari Cruisers, X-Wings, Imperial Star Destroyers, TIE Fighters, Trade Federation Battleships, Naboo Starfighters, Jedi Starfighters, etc.
It's bad enough we have prequel era battledroids on the planets. There's even a variety of starfighters available from other games set in the original trilogy. The X-Wing series of games had TONS of them. The devs could draw from even those if they possibly could, we just don't need anymore prequel stuff in SWG.

From what I was in episode 2 the jedi starfighters suck anyway...jango was pwning obiwith his firespray. And besides if they do add those fighters to the game I"m going to blow up there ring like looking hyperdrives first seeing as how they have to detach them to fight me

Even tho I really like the look of the Jedi Staships and I suppose if someones worked really hard to get into the position on Jedi Knight they should have something unique, but I must agree with the others it would stick out like a sore thumb becuase it's the wrong era for those ships and I certainly don't want to see naboo starfighters as they are rubbish 
But what I would like to see and it would fit the time period is Boba Fett's ship (Even tho I can't remember the name of it) they would be great for bounty hunters.
Also does anyone know how smooth transactions will be from getting onto your ship on the planet to flying in outer space? Will it be like beable to fly in the atmosphere of a planet (I can't see it myself but I reckon it would be cool).
Will it be enter ship click on a button and see a cut sequence of your ship flying to the clouds? (Which I hope this would be the case becuase it would add a great feel to the fact that you left the planet even if they had to havea loading screen after that cut sequence)
Or will it be like a starport click on the droid pause for a few seconds and thena loading screen comes up?

The one thing the devs will do is look for a way to add prequel content.

Here is the thing, give the jedi their starfighters but make it a multi-quest item (schematics)and give it prerequisites of Jedi Knight and/or master pilot of one kind or another. Not every shipwright should be able to build them just like not every weaponsmith can make feather weight FWG-5's without the schematic. I think it should be possible but a pain to do.

One of the devs I talked to at E3 informed me that the Jedi Starfighter model is already in game, and is one of the better looking models for ships due to its small shape which took a much shorter time to color / texturize. He said there is no plan to give it away as a playable ship on release, but he did say that they were very much looking forward too, designing a type of quest which would be EXTREMLY hard, and also have some ground involvment in it, which would result as the jedi starfigher being given out as the reward for the end of a very long series of quests.
Ah right, there was also a mentioning that if it ever was put into game, it would be made for higher lvl jedi only.

I actually would want Jedi Starfighters. I want to kill every last Jedi. JtLS is about skill and all those AFK grinders is going down.
