Also, take note of the weapon/power ratings of your Hilt. I've made a mistake of just focusing on strength stats before, but when I switch to Hilt with much higher power rating (with lower str), it increased my base damage by 80+, and that made a BIG difference in PVP and PVE. As a jedi(sent), you're only as good as you're saber so make sure to invest a lot on that area.
