I'm guessing that her race will be available for cc eventually. I don't see why it wouldn't, since they're not much different than Twi'leks. Hopefully that will be something we'll see with the Legacy update.
Yeah, that's probably the main caveat. She seems like a pretty important Jedi, so she'd need a really good explanation for why she would decide to travel around with a Smuggler instead. But I'm sure they could come up with something reasonable and interesting.
