The thing about Jedi and other Force users is that having access to the Force essentially gives them an entire game mechanic that other characters don't have access to. In the previous edition, Force users had this balanced out by having to spend skill points and feats on the Force, and that worked to a degree. However, since, as you said, it's a high-action game Jedi and tend to dominate combat, thrusting them more into the spotlight. In Saga Edition, however, it's also going to be possible to create non-combat focused Jedi, so your classic trilogy Yoda-style Jedi will be more readily available. I think you'll still be able to build a combat hoss Jedi, but the new and improved soldier should be able to go toe-to-toe. By the same token, if you want to build a diplomat character, you could probably easily build a Jedi diplomat that could go "diplomatically" toe-to-toe with a noble. Jedi will still be good, but I hope we've made the other classes better so as to better stack up. However, I'm afraid that's a judgment that is going to have to be made once the game is actually played.</blockquote>
