Thank you for the reply, I kept reading "Level him up with Jawa Junk" and it was confusing.

I've been playing for 4 months now and I have a question concerning leveling up the companion that comes with your ship. I have seen 3 or 4 times people saying just give him Jawa Scraps or Jawa Junk. Am I missing something? I have tried giving him the Jawa scraps and it doesn't work, or is there a specific way I'm supposed to do it? I have managed to level him by sending on crew gathering missions, I am just wondering about the Jawa Junk.

I am relatively new to the game. I had my level 15 Sage on Tython when I saw the companion Vette with a lvl 75 Jedi (I think it was a Sentinel). She was listed as ***** Companion, with Vette written underneath. Am I mistaken? Is it possible for a Jedi to somehow recruit Vette?
