Everyone I knew who said that was a L33TD3WD in less than two months after the statement. Just FYI.

I would like to add one more thing, I'm not going Jedi to be better than everyone else. I really want to try to play the part right and not be tool like so many of the people who play Jedi are. With that said, I challenge each and everyone of you Smuggler/BH templates to come hunt me on Radiant when the time comes. I say this because I look forward to being hunted when I deserve it, although I'm also going to try to be the secluded Jedi that I'm supposed to be.
I've already pissed everyone off by telling them that they won't be seeing me for a very long time. This week I'll be dumping a lot so I can set up a house in the middle of... well I'm not saying which planet, but I'm becoming a hermit. I won't say I'll never come out of hiding (I will have totrain eventually) but it's not gonna be all that often. In a way I wish Tevin was a BH so I could count on him hunting me. I'm even going to tell my guild that I'm fair game... even though I ask them not to hunt the other member who is Jedi. If all goes as planned I'll be playing Jedi how it was intended to be played.
Dude...Tevin IS a BH.

*Raises glass to Zane* Aye!
We be going Jedi...Sorta.
I figured out that I can keep MSmug/MBH/Novice Commando and get padawann- (if it doesn't cost any points) This way I can still earn visibility. If I'm wrong about that I know that I can drop one line of BH and pick up Novice something (probably Defender) plus 1 box.
Either way. We all know that this is a slippery slope to Jedi.
Going in game now Zane. Gonna look for you, some NPC bounties and, of course, that old dude.
I had this same template -- had to drop it this weekend to go M. Pistols, M. Smuggler to take on Mellichae. You can't keep MBH and Master Smuggler, because you need 24 points in FS to get your second old man visit. You'll only have 23 points left over with that template, not to mention the Commando points.
Already, I'm feeling like I've madea huge mistake in going jedi. But in a few days, I'll have an alt that I can grind to the same template.... and I guess if jedi really isn't my thing, I can always go back to being Pistol/Smuggler. I'm now grinding out TK to go with Smuggler, and will keep that as long as I possibly can.
My advice to you is simple: don't train any FS boxes until you're ready to make the move completely. I banked 3.8 million each of combat and reflex FS and thought I'd never actually spend it. (Hell... I never thought I'd even GET that much xp.)
I just got tired of waiting for the holy grail: Smuggling. 
Good luck to you.
