Quick correction, you only need Investigation III from Bounty Hunter to actually hunt them.

there are plenty of bh out there that are all ranged. Not all jedi are knights and have 80 saber block 
You can be quite successfull picking off the low and mid-tier jedi.

Well, my Master Pistol/master smuggler/master TK build does not let me get missions but it allows me to put the hurt on jedi none the less. a good TKM can take down a knight pretty easily.

How does did Publish 9 end hologrinding? Only made being Jedi different, did not really change anything about BECOMING Jedi which was the problem.

All this attention for them is making me think more and more.
This"DEV Love"is so greatly needed here, what can I do to help?
/thinks
Can I keep Master Smuggler, and turn the rest of my skill points into making me a
JEDI HUNTING MACHINE?
Is this possible? What do I need in BH to do this? Is it worth it?

I think you can do it..... you'd want the BH pistol line and investigation 3...You'd have nice offense and speed, I dunno about defense and accuracy though, lol

Hmmm. Sounds interesting.
I know very lil about jedi, call it hatred from our re-vamp bump. Will I pose a threat to them with this?

In order to take on a Jedi, you need a melee profession, preferabely TKM, with anything extra you can get to help. I think you need Investigation IV to hunt them from BH, but any ranged combat you can get from BH will be useless on a Jedi due to their lightsaber block (indeed, come publish 10, they'll be directing the fire you send at them right back at you).
To use up all your SP you could go TKM, BH 4-0-0-0 and either any other melee elite profession at 3-0-0-0 (ie, 3 up any of the trees) or medic 0-4-1-0.
Either way, you're going to need a lot of help to take the high end Jedi down.. a lot of help. In the stratics interview JustG kept talking of insentives they'd be bringing in to keep the Jedi out of site (and hopefully their numbers down), such as Vader and 'other nasty characters' being used against them. I'll believe this when I see it however, as I don't see Vader and a bunch of other high end NPCs, no matter how tough, convincing the Jedi 1337 PvPers (ie, those that use it as such rather thana fun and mysterious RP experience) togive up their prized Jedi owning abilities.

So this means no Master Smuggler?

If you're serious about taking them on yourself, yes. Although, if you've got a friend that already is, or is willing to go BH and is just as zealous as you, well, keep master smuggler, get TKM and spend the SP on other goodies, allowing him to track them down

Well, they added the FS profession/skills in publish 9, which is essential for the new system that is being added in publish 10. Admitedly they could have added that in a mini publish or two, but they probably decided it would be best to get Jedi done and dusted. If this means they don't have to work on Jedi again after publish 10 for years to come and will be focusing on getting us a good combat system, a great GCW and a great smuggler (among other professions) revamp, then in the long run I'm happy.
As to whether this happens or not, I guess only time will tell.... and around $180 worth of my money.
