Star Wars: The Old Republic site launches Jedi class page

by Justin McElroy on Nov 2nd 2009 11:29AM

There's finally a reason to visit the "professional classifications" section of the official website for the upcoming BioWare MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic. The page for the only class worth playing, the Jedi, has finally been added! The site's got images of Jedi garb and weaponry up, and even a few videos of lightsaber murder.

"But Joystiq, the Jedi isn't the only class worth playing! I want to be a smuggler!" What's that? Sorry, we had a little trouble hearing you while we crushed your windpipe with our minds. Speaking of which, we guess the Sith Warrior is okay, too -- but just barely.

This game is going to be so awesome.

You all play Jedi's.

I will be playing a Bounty Hunter.

Yes, bounty hunters! High five!

*sticks thermal detonator to huey's hand*

Haha! One less competitor!

@LaughingTarget:
He's no good to you dead!

The next episode, One-armed Huey stalks the stars with a vengeance...

He doesn't like you! I don't like you either! You best watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems!

Hopefully the game shows that the best thing for the Star Wars franchise is to make sure George Lucas is in absolutely no way involved.

BioWare is a much better steward of the Star Wars franchise. Knights of the Old Republic is a testament to that.

But Joystiq, the Jedi isn't the only class worth playing! I want to be an R2 unit!

I read that in a Luke Skywalker whine-voice.

The Jedi/Sith class are cool and all, but fuck em. I'll be a HK-47 droid any day.
And they better have that class.

Pff, cantina band roadie is where it's at.

Props to Giroro. Lucas gave into the dark side just before releasing the "Special Editions" of the original trilogy and has now managed to undo one of the greatest surprises in movie history, the revelation that Vader is Anakin.

And no, it wasn't obvious back then, nor was it cliche'. It was great.

HAN SHOT FIRST!

I think what you mean, Bradwart is: "Han shot!"

Greedo never shot at all, remember.

When I watched the 'enhanced' editions I nearly vomited. The additions were terrible. And that nice 'digital lean' Solo did was awful.

Silly Jedi. The Force is for Sith...

Seconded.

Besides, I'm pretty sure choke was a Sith power anyway...

How about a Sith smuggler? That would be fun.

"These aren't the boxes you're looking for"
"Yes they are"
*bzzzt* "No, they're not. Ask again and I'll cut off your other arm"

Game is looking really good i know i'll be rolling a jedi for my main character and first play through, but i know for sure i'll be playing through the main story on a few different characters. Bioware has said that each class playthrough will be like playing a new game with just a couple cross over missions from each class.

Can't wait to play a Gungan Village buffoon!

I have the hotkeys worked out:

1 - Annoy
2 - Stereotypical African spear thrust
3 - Annoy 2
4 - Canned Ewok/Jawa scream
5 - Annoy 3
6 - Annoyaga
7 - Lghtsaber face shield (use your face to take a Sith blade)
8 - Painful death (for when you get annoyed with your own character)

#6 - I see what you did there...

Joystiq is slipping. One can only crush the windpipe of another if they are familiar with the Dark Side.

A Jedi doesn't have that kind of power.

They all have the ability, Jedi merely choose not to use it.

That's like saying only Sith can kill an innocent person with their lightsaber. All force-manipulators have the tools to strangle someone with the force, it's just a matter of choice, NOT alliance.

Luke had no problem doing it to Jabba's guards... but only a little.

Do you know the origin of your name, I wonder?

Does anyone know if they have released the computer spec for this game yet,want to make sure my pc can handle it or have it ready by game release.if anyone know please reply. thanxs

Sorry Joystiq, but sith warriors have always been better than jedi!! any battle with a sith requires multiple jedi to defeat them.... on that note I will be playing the troopers cuz they are the closest thing to the awesome republic commandos.

"any battle with a sith requires multiple jedi to defeat them"

Have you ever watched/read/listened to Star Wars? I can think of numerous times Jedi/Sith duels end in a Jedi victory or atleast a tie.

The only example of a Sith taking on two Jedi and doing well is in episode one, and nobody cares about episode one.

Sith Warriors are weak. A Sith Lord would require many Jedi. And they'd still fail.

I'm pretty sure Darth Sidious took on four or five Jedi in Episode 3. Also, Dooku took on Obi-Wan and Anakin in Episode 2.

Sidious and Dooku were very powerful Sith, however. OP is arguing, all things being equal, that a Sith would always beat a Jedi. Obviously a high-level Sith could hold his own against multiple lower-level Jedi, but the OP claims that equal-level Sith and Jedi would result in a Sith victory.

Trooper - Tank
Smuggler - Ranged DPS
Jedi - DPS

The next class will be some sort of droid healer.

I want to play as a Senator. I will bring peace to the universe through diplomacy!

Unless your name is Palpatine...you're going to fail.

More likely through aggressive negotiations.

Nightmarish....Star Wars Galaxies....flashbacks...

*whimpers*

If I can't be a fat Mon Calimari belly dancer, I'm not playin!!

Jedi are going to be the Huntards of The Old Republic.

This is probably going to be the first MMO I'll ever play.
