    Probably all of them. I gotta get a feel for the classes before I pick a favorite. 
    You should have an "all of the above" option.

    Consular seemed cool, but you make it sound like healer is a class for girls or something.

    @warxsnake: They also need to make it look less of a pre-2004 game.
     
    But anyway, it's still undecided for me. I'll probably be playing Guild Wars 2, FFXIV, WoW, EVE, or AoC, anyways (not all at once, just one of them).

    Wow, the heat is getting to me, that sentence I wrote is pretty horrible!
    But no, I did not try to make it sound that way, but I can just imagine myself hanging back keeping the guys alive who finally get to go apeshit with a lightsaber.
    It'll be good fun!

    I am a boy and I usually play the healer.  I like playing support classes.  
     
    My second character is going to be a Sith Inquisitor probably.  It's a class not seen too often in the movies, so I'd like to get a better feel for it.

    I picked trooper although I would also like to check out bounty hunter, jedi knight, smuggler, and sith warrior. I hope Guild Wars 2 and this game don't come out too close to one another :/

    Councelor because i like casting spells and healing people.  Besides, a true Jedi knows how to draw power from the Force and doesn't rely solely on their lightsaber.

    I want to be the big damn hero tank so I'll probably pick the jedi knight and spec into the guardian later. However, the gameplay vid they showed earlier had the trooper as the main tank so I might be the trooper and spec into the vanguard later.

    A Sith/Jedi healer, because I want to be a Jedi/Sith, and everybody like most MMOs is going to ignore the healer class, so I'll be in demand, and also be a Sith/Jedi.

    Will try out every class obviously. Either healer or tank WITHOUT a light saber. What ever is better for grouping. Usually I go for the more hybrid classes (like druids and paladins in WoW). Sadly, in SWTOR they seem to be quite clear cut. Maybe the smuggler/agent will have some very unique abilities like the Warden in DAoC.

    I'm gonna check out smuggler and bounty hunter, then try out all the force classes.  The only ones I'm not interested in are the trooper and agent classes.

    I'm automatically attracted to the idea of being a Jedi, but I'd definitely want to try out several classes to see which ones are fun in practice.  If Bioware is smart (clearly) they'll have set up the game in such a way so that not being one of the popular classes is valuable.  This will hopefully stem the tide of Jedi Knights running around.

    If I was going to play it, I guess Bounty Hunter...although I hear it shoehorns you as the "bad" guy, which is dumb... 
     
     Then Jedi Knight as a second one I guess.

    Sith Inquisitor on day one! I imagine that will be the Healer class for the Empire.
     
    Also very interested in playing a female Trooper because she is voiced by Jennifer Hale...as I seem to remember. Any one else remember hearing that a while back?

    Wouldn't it be great if you could be a droid?  We've had many droid companions but never a main character.  A whole new class, a whole new playable experience.  Start as a maintenance droid caught in a battle and go from there.  Upgrade components and even assemble an all droid mercenary team.  Alas, maybe as an expansion later.

    I don't see anything smart about giving the trooper class an unfair advantage just because people won't use it. Troopers are fodder in the movie, it really makes no sense for that to be a class on the same level as the others.

    Sith needs an equivalent of the Trooper (grunt) class and Alliance needs an equivalent of the Imperial Agent (spy) class.  The Trooper classes should have 4 AI soldiers following them around the whole time.

    I play RPGs as characters as similar to me as possible.  If I were living in the Star Wars universe (barring being born with Force powers), I'd probably wind up a Trooper, so that's what I'll play as first.  Yes, I'm a gigantic nerd that thinks too much about these things.

    I  cant understand why anyone would dive into the star wars universe wielding anything but a lightsaber, you can shoot lame guns everywhere else people... come on. 
    Although I would probably play all of them I voted Consular.
