Tempting as drew is in charge but did they give him the light side role to steer away his millions of fans from going sith??

fear off to many darkside users mwahhh!

T-T... Why Drew? Why?

You could have given us the best Dark Side Story ever =(

I've read your Darth Bane Trilogy, and loved all three I've recently read the first one again, and am re-reading the second one as we speak.

With you in charge of the Jedi Knight I know the class will be full of action, adventure, drama, and bit of romance, and so many other things we have seen on your books.

It pains me you have to write the light side, however I this will only serve for me to admire you a bit more, since I know it isnt easy to change from one side to the other without having moments where you think what the other side would have done.

I'll play this class next just to see what creative piece of work you come up with ^_^

I agree. The Darth Bane trilogy was an awesome insight into the Sith view of the Force, and Drew did a great job. It was the book that got me reading the SW books all over again! Alas, he has gone over to the light. But jedi can go dark, no? He could create a delicious little twist to the jedi knight storyline if you want to go down the self-destructive path!

I will be a Jedi knight that respects the councils decisions. There called jedi masters for a reason.

I'm choosing jedi warrior just because drew is writing their history.

my jedi knight will follow orders but he will follow his heart at the same time and gain enough power to defeat the empire

Cool story, bro.

Drew Karpyshyn writing the Jedi Knight storyline? Well that settles my main character choice.

(I just love the writing of KOTOR, ME and especially the ME books)

lol im gonna do this character when i play and if i enter a sith base or somthing or raid is say at the same time LEEEEROY JENKINS!!!!!!!!!

Just saying that in such a great game... would just bring shame upon it.

I will be a jedi knight! my name will be Razia Malaficus remember my words: There is no Emotion: There is Peace i hope that you will learn the rest! Me and my brother knows the jedi code he will be a consualar see ya in the game!!:))))

It isn't exactly hard to remember short 5 lines of text :)

!!! WE WANT ACTIVE MEMEBRS WILLING TO FIGHT FOR THE REPUBLIC TILL THE END !!!

Its not the Jedi way to bottle up there emotion, instead you control them, use them with good jugdement. The same goes for love and relationships.

Who cares about the code when your wiping out the sith. I'll only spare one if they teach me force lightning. GURILA WARFAR!!!!!

I feel like he's just stomping the code..

Some what i agree.. Guess we wont understand the full meaning until launch.

I am Jedi Knight Nazirus Darkonis, Member of the Republic Sovereighty Guild.
Currently, The Republic Sovereighty is looking for Brave and Fearless Troopers and Jedi alike who will fight beside us as we accomplish our goal of once and for all time ending the plague that is the SITH who have brought death and destruction to the Galaxy.

as a result The Galaxy is in chaos and trying to restore itself to it former glory, in order to do this, we need the Republic's Elite to join The sovereighty.

We are trying to use all aspects of SWTOR.

The call to Battle is Here, PM and Friend me if you want to join.

For the Republic!

Take your pretty talk of "experience all aspects of the game" to another forum, nutcase. The game hasn't even come out yet, so just dig up some more patience and abide until then.

i really do hope we will have a lot of jedi knights. but when does this game come out?

dont worry there will be plenty of jedi and sith but no troopers or imperial agents. i have no idea when it comes out though.

i think this game comes out 4/1/2010 but idk. im going to be a trooper for sure i just hope i find a good Jedi to help me out when ever a sith attacks me. a trooper with a jedi is going to be the best!!

I thought about whether to be the jedi who sticks to the code. or break away and be the exile type... but as i was thinking about this i thought... why not be in between both? see i think breaking away from the code and going out of the way to destroy the sith is going to far and dishonors the way of the jedi... but then sticking to the code so tightly is sometimes a handicap... we need good people with good intentions that will do the right thing, but yet maybe do them in a different more efficient way... Qui-Gon i think a pretty good example. He was determined on good things, and still stuck to the code... but he bent it to his way of doing things. He didnt exactly break the code, but he wasn't exactly sticking to it fully... I feel that i will be a jedi who Honors the code and the jedi council... but might bend it, just a little, to make sure that some things get done.

Either you stick with the code for good. or not at all. There is no partial way to do it. it all or nothing.

If you would be an real Jedi. You would not even consider about not sticking entirely with the code.

I shall not step away from the way of code.

Don't forget in trying to walk the middle Quigon also brought about the anihilation of his entire order by the hands of Darth Vader had he obeyed the wisdom of the council it might never have happened. Just because you do not agree with the council does not mean they are wrong, in most cases you just lack the experience and understanding that they do. Pride is a path to the dark side and the road to hell is paved with good intentions, the result of your actions hold the true answers.

i think that the correct term is jedi guardian because a jedi knight refers to the jedi order as a whole.

maybe but darth vader did in the end bring balance to the force by killin darth sidus. but i believe that a jedi can walk the middle and still serve the republic

I think I will choose the jedi knight. I might follow the council but "bend" a few rules or orders. because sometimes you have to do things the jedi council tells you not to do.

Ugh, Wonderful Article, Makes me want to sink my teeth into the Jedi Class and experience this story, Like no joke.

I LOVE that bioware is giving us options to follow the jedi code, or go on your own like the exile, and even have love affairs? Makes this class sound very fun

I am glad this storyline is in safehands!! I cannot wait! =-)

I am totally agree with you.

What a lot of you seem to not understand is that CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES. You can choose to be an outlaw/Gray Jedi/Dark Jedi, but the COUNCIL WILL NOT LIKE/ACCEPT YOU. You can't disobey orders and waltz into the Grand Council Chamber liek nothign happened. BUT the Republic regiment you saved by disobeying orders might love you and follow you. Alternately, if you do everything the Council says, you may become a Master. Think before yelling about things, and we'll all get along XD. Qui-gon FTW, BTW, bending teh rules without breaking them...and nothing the Council can do about it.

Off topic, if I roll a Knight, you'll see me as Anaya Starrunner XD.
Long live the Repulic!/Victory for the Empire!
Lawl.

Agh, sorry about the spelling on a few of those words. Was typing kinda fast =P.

long live the empire!! and may the republic fall

i love it that you can go rogue as jedi because what fun if the jedi cant folow temptaion no-one is perfect

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no death, there is the Force.

Remember these words when you roll your Knight

great this is just what we need, a bunch of people rolling Jedi just so they can defy the council and go against everything the Jedi stand for, just so they can be different and be 'rebels'. What's worse is that this article is almost encouraging it. If you wan't to be the guy who gets the girl and plays by his own rules, if you wan't to slaughter every enemy in your path roll a goddam Sith because none of these things are what make up a Jedi. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea that you can choose your path, but it is just the fact that everyone is being encouraged to become a grey Jedi that is just stupid. What's the point in having Jedi if all of them just defy the council and do whatever they want?

I totally agree with you. If a mass of peoples just want to be grey-jedis. They should just make a Sith. REAL JEDI STICKS TO THE CODE NO MATTER WHAT !

All you grey-jedis just bring shame and misfortune upon all jedis.
Be shamed of yourself.

It has been said that Yoda and Obi-One are the Consular archetype.

But here its said its Mace Windu and Obi-one so, is Obi-One just that bad a** or which one is he?

Apart from that Go Republic!

OK... A jedi knight in the movies is a ranking in the jedi order it goes, apprentice, padawan, jedi knight, and jedi master. So just to clarify Obi-Wan was talking about his rank, even though really by the end of the clone wars he was jedi master one the jedi council. Also Obi-Wan was in the middle of Counselor and being a combative jedi knight or Jedi Guardian. Which is the actual term for a combative jedi and will proably be a Jedi Knight sub-class.

Obi-Wan is a jedi knight. Consulars are more diplomatic and try to avoid confrontation if possible. Obi-Wan is more combative. He actually even says he is a knight in A New Hope.
Luke: "You fought in the clone wars?"
Obi-Wan: "Yes. I was once a jedi knight."

cant wait to be a jedi and rescue this one hot girl .... and then PWN THOSE noobed sith ....and then become a slave drone for the hot girl...
controll me in any sexyway she cann...

thats my jedi dreamm hohohoho

I'm shamed that someone like you dare to call him self a jedi.

xD

This is really really annoying... he's describing Annakin - there's no Jedi Knight that doesn't follow what the council wishes unless they're going down the dark path and potentially want to become dark Jedi... This is a really freaking annoying plot manipulating mechanic being thrust upon us and it doesn't sit right with anyone that knows that there are, Jedi Knight and Dark Jedi/Sith. The two classes for Jedi is offensive. Be true to the lore. People playing a Jedi that regard the Council's code, rules and commands as optional are not freakin' Jedi. Period. I HATE that there are two types of Jedi and this just pisses me off to no end that we're being treated like sheep just so that they can have another class to chose for their mmo. They're treating us like sheep. This just annoys me to no end.

How blind you are. The choices of being lightsided, grey or darksided in WHATEVER class you choose is just awesome, yet you whine.
You think a DS Jedi is wrong? Then play a perfectly lightsided Jedi!!!
And there's a lot of Jedi that have fallen to the dark side, and a DS JK won't go as far as betraying the Republic, since we can't switch factions. It's about CHOICES, just as in other BioWare games. Like Mass Effect - the perfect paragon or the "does anything to succeed"-renegade.

Personally, I'm looking forward to play as a DS JK - Fallen Jedi appeals more to me than Sith that have been evil from birth. :)

we have to remember that Qui-Gon Jinn was seen as a rebel jedi. but when u see him do you think of him as a dark jedi/ sith? Every action has a consequence. the question is will you take the easy action which may lead to the dark side/ follow the orders of the council to the letter? or be a Qui-Gon and see there is another way that the council dont know everything and so dont have all the answers. although if we go deep enough we can blame Qui-Gon for Vader so....my point might be worthless :p

I think you're wrong. I don't know about you, but I didn't read that article as saying, "disobey the Counsel". I read it as "the Council doesn't know what it's like on the frontline". And if you think all Jedi follow the Council...correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Count Dooku a Jedi once? Jedi fall to the dark side all the time.
