[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3601900, member: 710"] IIRC, there are a lot of so-called "Dark Jedi" in the EU which were never actually trained as Jedi. So for me, the Jedi class definitely implies just intensive training in the force. Since you proficiency with Light sabers guaranteed at first level, I would assume that 1st level Jedi characters always have a Jedi Philosophy background (or maybe Sith). Which makes sense, since there seems to be no example of another Force philosophy that so stringently trains force users... But if you take the Jedi levels later on, you could have any background... I wouldn't be surprised if the design team first considered naming the Jedi class differently (Maye Force User), but decided against it - the term Jedi is just so important in the Starwars universe that it would feel strange not having a core class for it, even if it is actually meant to be more flexible than that...
