Oh I disagree Shayde, they could wear comp armor and heal any dmg you did. And God help you if you were ranged, good luck. Healing all states including mind fire and diseases/poisons? OP sir, OP.
As a Master Bounty Hunter from those days, I will tell you that a Light Lightning Cannon was absolutely worthless outside of PvE. It's specials could only be fired at melee range, it had it's own set of accuracy/speed modifiers so you could never get accurate enough to hit a regular full-template toon, let alone a Jedi with it.
If you were an MBH, as I was, your options were to a) Surprise them as they are unbuffed and you send in a bomb droid or b) bring back-up. We used to hunt Jedi in groups of 5 pre-CU.
To me, playable Jedi did not belong in SWG. The timeline forbade it, and common sense said that an alpha class would not work in an MMO that had PvP. Koster's series of posts on how Jedi, and the quest to become one ruined the design of the game just cemented my opinion.
I'll probably be playing on SWGCanon if no other groups offer non-Jedi servers.
