I wanna be a droid.

No idea, the most Rogue-like class...

bounty hunter or smuggler

Will not be making a jedi/sith. Not the first time at least.

I already decided long before I saw any actual gameplay that I would roll a bounty hunter as my main.

I'm going Smuggler. I'd much rather be Solo than Skywalker.
 
Thing is, this'll be my first proper experience with a MMORPG (I've played some WoW trials and was in the STO beta, but other than that I'm pretty much an MMO virgin), so I really have no idea about any of the game mechanics that are expected from MMOs (at least any mechanics that come in past the really early levels), so I don't really know what I'm going to be doing, gameplay-wise.

" Twi'leks are a confirmed playable race. I'm not sure if certain Force-Users get a particular style of Lightsaber wielding, but the Consular will at least feature the Double-bladed Lightsaber. I know the Sith Warrior has been shown with Dual Lightsabers, so it is at least designed into the game. "

Jedi Knights and Sith Warriors can either wield one saber or duel wield two sabers.  Consulars and Inquisitors get single saber or the double sabers. "

Totally agree, the only character's im interested in playing is either a Jedi or Sith.

Do people realize there are 2 different jedi and sith?  I'm gonna go for Jedi Counselor with current info, but of course may change with more info.

I want to be a Sith, but I don't want to have an ugly red light saber. I want my Sith to have a Green Lightsaber!
I suppose to fix this I'll just be a Jedi whose an absolute dick.

Well, I'll probably be the inquisitor, but it could be hella fun as a trooper taking on other saber clases.

i know several friends that want to be evil, i would prob be a soldier

" @Skytylz: For serious? I don't have to be stuck with the red lightsaber? Did Bioware say this? "

if the consular isn't the "healer class" then yes. if BioWare ditches their own AWESOME RPG character class format for a cookie-cutter MMO format, then you won't catch me playing it period. ArenaNet is dropping the healer altogether with GW2 and making the characters more "jack-of_all_trades" like BioWare did with KOTOR, DragonAge, Mass Effect etc. I just can't bring myself to pay a monthly fee for an MMO if the only parts I will want to play are the storyline instanced parts. Make sense?

I'll definitely buy and play this game, and I'll play as an "evil" healer if there is such a thing. If there isn't, I'll probably go with a Sith.

I'm probably going to be a Jedi Counselor my first time through, and then after that I might try the Sith Imperial Agent.  That class isn't something which is quite as recognizable in Star Wars mythology, so I am intrigued by it.

Not I. The Jedi/Sith classes seem to be the least interesting to be honest. Though I will probably make a Sith at some point as I prefer playing the healer and to the best of my knowledge only a Force sensitive class will be able to be a main healer. I plan to make:  

1. Imperial Agent
2. Bounty Hunter
3. Commando/Solder or what ever they are called
4. Smuggler
5. I will try the others at some point, but I don't really care for them.

" I'm probably going to be a Jedi Counselor my first time through, and then after that I might try the Sith Imperial Agent.  That class isn't something which is quite as recognizable in Star Wars mythology, so I am intrigued by it. "

What they should have done from the start is keep the 3 seperate Jedi classes from KOTOR and had them represent different party roles (ie. tank, DPS, healer)  - then it wouldn't really matter if "everybody" (it won't literally be everybody) went Jedi/Sith.  At least they have 2 seperate classes, which should help keep a bit of balance. 

I've pretty much settled on Sith Inquisitor but if things don't work out or I get bored of it a Bounty Hunter would definitely be my backup and I may even give the Imperial Agent a try. For the Empire!

I was gonna do something on the sith side, so definitely no jedi for me.

" I was looking at the videos for the different classes and I was starting to get the feeling that everyone was just going to be a Jedi.  I'll probably play one because the other classes don't interest me much, except for a smuggler if I can actually transport goods across the galaxy and it's not boring as hell.  My main point was, I can't see why anyone would want to play another class and if 90% of players are Jedi that might cause a problem.    I was wondering who here wants to play as a non-force sensitive character?   Edit:  I'm including Sith when I said Jedi, they are just evil Jedi. "

I've played a jedi in every other Star Wars games for the past 20-something years. 
 
SMUGGLER.

duder, bounty hunter all the way. Unless my friends pick the good side, which they probably will and then ill be a trooper in that case

" Well I'll probably play a Jedi / Sith because, like you, I find myself uninterested in the other classes' abilities and play-styles. "

I'm gonna go for Jedi/Sith caster or tank. Force related mythology is what I'm most into. Minus mediclorians.
 
Quite certain the jedi/sith caster classes are gonna have the sickest hoodies ever! I'm a man of the hood myself in real life. Wearing a Hood and a sporting a beard is like having a house for your head on your head. Superpowered hobo style.

I would definitely try the smuggler or any other Gun-based class first,

I would have been happier if there was only 1 Force user per side. If your going to put 2 in, you might as well go all in and put Guardian, Consular and Sentinel. I feel by having a Consular it has pushed out a cool non-force using class from the initial release of the game.

Either Bounty Hunter or Sith for me. That's if I get the game, it would be my first real MMO.

I'm probably quite likely to be a jedi.

I am a DAoC&WoW-Veteran, and will probably go for a spec that is easy to find groups with. These are usually tanks and healers. Since the Consular/  Inquisitor is the primary healing class, I think this time there will be no shortage of those this time. If the Trooper is meant to be the primary tank, I will certainly go Trooper.

We have all played a jedi in a Starwars game at one stage. Jedi/Sith is the bread and butter of Star Wars but Playing a Trooper or a Smuggler is somthing that we don't get to do often. I generally see more people wanting to play a BH or Smugger than I do Jedi/Sith. Its a given that we will all have a Jedi/Sith.

maybe this crowd mite not be jedi, but i bet the rest of the audience will be

Probably roll a soldier or scoundrel first. Guns over swords, even laser swords.

Republic Troopers look pretty cool.

No. 
 
I'd pick some roguey/stealthy dude.
