Welcome back to the Star Wars Community! We sure are glad to have a returning player rejoining the game. If I had to suggest any class for anyone, it would be the Sith Warrior. It has a great story, and is a pretty easy class to learn. I highly suggest to stick with the game, it may seem "tedious" at first, but you can work your way up pretty quickly. I prefer the Marauder Subclass, but if you want to Tank, you should use the Juggernaut class. If you are feeling like you want to be a Jedi Scum, you could try the Jedi Knight class, as it is very similar to this. Feel free to ask any questions on this forum, we are here to help!
Good Luck on Your Quest, Young Acolyte!
