SWTOR: Jedi Knight Unveiled
We all knew it was coming, but today finally saw the unveiling of the Jedi Knight class in BioWare's upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Jedi are, first and foremost, protectors of the galaxy. Through years of meditation and training, they hone their body and mind into harmony, making them a force to be reckoned with in battle. Elegant lightsaber strikes combined with acrobatics turns Jedi combat into an art form. Fiercely loyal to the Republic, Jedi Knights will wade into battle to protect freedom and democracy.
The Jedi use age-old fighting tactics, passed down by Jedi before them through the centuries. Their iconic weapons, the lightsabers, are always to hand, and their clothing ranges from light cloth to heavy leather to entire suits of battle armour when needed.
Check out these new images, just released by BioWare. For a short demo of a Jedi in action, see the official site.

Next one up for an announcement is Empire again.
Made sense for the next choice to be Republic and force based to counter the Sith Warrior, so Jedi seemed fairly self explanatory.
Based upon the story info, I'd say Imperial Intelligence officer or something like that to be the next class. To counter the Smuggler's dirty tricks bit.
Bounty Hunter vs Trooper most likely. Wait and see what the last one for the Republic will be then, considering that will probably require a contrary class for the Empire side as well.
(Unless I'm wrong about the BH vs T bit, in which case the 4th Empire will counter the T, whereas the 4th Republic will counter the BH)
Least that's my prediction anyway. :D
