They've already released all the classes but Lightsaber colors aren't class specific. So I'm sure you'll be able to make/loot a yellow saber :P "
Personally, I think they should stick with the classic blue/green and red for sith.
Never liked the fact that in most Star Wars games the Jedi end up looking like skittles.
 
I guess in something like an MMO variety and customisation is always key, but they could at least make the other colours rarer and something special.  The purple blade should have been either super rare, or a collectors edition bonus, just to keep it somewhat special.  It kind of ruins the whole Mace Windu bad assness when every Jedi, Sith and their dogs are wielding them.

@Ockman: FF XI is pretty much turn-based so it is easily playable with a pad, every other MMO has a completely different style of play to FF XI, which is why a keyboard and mouse is needed.

In Guild  Wars they just call "companion characters" Heroes.

" shitty graphics!! where is the shadowing??? aaaaaaaa "

No they're stylized so it can run on more machines, like wow, the most successful pc game of all time.
And real time shadowing is one of the most performance killing things in games after polygons and physics simulation.  If you turn on real time lighting in wow (which was added in lich king) the game chugs like crazy if you've got an older pc.  Bioware may add it to the game later.

Shouldn't any Jedi/Sith be proficient in the Force?
