There is no "sudden interest in this". It has been a debate that has been going on for manymonths now (pre-October when I started). You may want to get more information before you post next time instead of making yourself look like a foolish troll.

It's the fact that, when looking at TK from an EU perspective(and this is just information I've gathered from here, not personally), TKs were an order meant to keep Jedi in check. Not limit or hunt them, I don't believe, but more along the lines of a watcher.
Instead of channeling and drawing from the force, they'd channel and draw on the energy within. So wherea Jedi was more powerful due to the limitless aspect of the Force, a TK was also powerful but only in the shorter term.
Speaking from a game mechanics perspective, granted, no 92 skill point profession should be allowed to be 'as strong' as a Jedi. But certain profs should be given at least a bit of an edge. BH being one(and trust me, they seriously need some love here) and TK being the other.
BH would be the technological edge, TK should have the spiritual(not the right word, but i can't think of the word at the moment) edge.
I'd love to see TKs elevated to Jedi hunter/watcher status...but don't know if that'll ever happen.

If TK should have the "spiritual" edge, then TKM should take 217 Skill Points

Yes, you are right. Teras kasi don't deserve content that it's fellow brawler classes does not have.
I think that people simply want alternatives!
If you ask me, the road to Bounty Hunter is ridicolous! I thought one of the keyaspect of this game, was to get your own template and create a character with possibilities for uniqe skills..
Bounty Hunter just leaves room for full armored, compsite weilding LLC people.. No disrespect to BH,s they are cool - But the requirements are way to high...
Many in the brawler community have always wanted an master brawler class like Assasin, that culd function as a spiritual and practical hunting-a-target class..
All the jedi talk, is simply information from the EU! I have been a TKM twice, in a period of 4-6 months, and it is my all time favorite proffesion.. And im going there right now as we speak... But many of us feel frustrated, because we dont know our role...
Many people is just dabbling in TKA for meditate or defenses and the rest just want our, in some ways superiorcy when combined with other proffesions....
Even the tka trainers, give clues about TKA being a more than a martial rts.. a way of life.. And many people like the fact about there were other kinds of force people in the world.. Not just force users, who were neither jedi nor sith, or nightsisters..
It is talked about that darth maul was a Teras kasi also...
You should really read it all on www.teraskasi.com - great site!
Many people also think that the new force sensitivty skills system, that will enhance peoples current proffesions, would be a great addon to tka... tkas wants different styles, as well as a dark or light version of themself... or some people want that!
In my own opinion i also just see lots of potential in a teras kasi quests..
If they made master brawler and master scount a requirement, for becoming a tka who could hunt jedi, then i would still go TKA any seconds!
I know it might sound, stupid, but I just really like TKA for what it is! Almost every single animation, almost every single title and every single talking about us in the game and the EU, but if we had some more depth, and stood out as more than a martial arts, then I would love TKA ten times as much

Darth maul was a TK?
This is not the first time I have heard this, but a lot of people on this board seem to be contradicting each other on this matter.
I hear things such as "TKM should be able to hunt dark jedi ONLY", Which implys that TKAs hunted dark jedi, I also read TKA hate the force and don't beleive in it.
So how does Darth Maul fit into that description? And Don't say it was because he meditated in TPM, Yoda isnt a TK =)
you're right.... that is a game mechanic that has bugged me too..........

Bounty Hunters ARE assassins. At least... I've never seen a SWG Bounty Hunter take a Mark in alive. I've always thought that was the silliest thing about the "Bounty Hunter" profession.
Kinda like calling a janitor a 'Custodial Engineer.'
you can only assume that deathblowing is just a faster way of bringing back and incappacitated mark (obviously to make things easier, i bet it would be very difficult to transfer a bounty to a different planet) or that killing some the bounty was 'dead or alive' /shrug

How am I a foolish troll? I dont know maybe im too used to the BH boards, but what you are saying is rediculous. Does that mean that anyone who disagrees with some of the boards ideas is a troll?
Check this site out: www.teraskasi.com:
It says:
"Even though Lucas companies approve everything under license, Star Wars games and novels are suspect as canon because there is so much invention on the part of authors. But Teräs Käsi has been inducted up the credibility ladder from it's appearance in novels, RPGs, video games and comics to the point it has been associated with a major Star Wars character.
From the first chapter of Star Wars: Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter (2001. Michael Reaves):
"Using the momentum of the forward thrust, Maul dived over the collapsing droid before him, flowing smoothly into a shoulder roll. He came up twirling his lightsaber overhead, then stepped down solidly into the teräs käsi wide stance called Riding Bantha. Even as he did the movement, part of him was monitoring his body's state. His breathing was slow and even, his pulse elevated by no more than two or three beats per minute from its resting rate."
Although Teräs Käsi is not mentioned In The Phantom Menace (1999), Darth Maul's acrobatic fighting style may have influenced Michael Reeves to write Maul in as a Teräs Käsi expert in DMSH, but it's a guess whether Lucas was influenced by previous descriptions of Teräs Käsi in his characterization of Darth Maul."
