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.
