I played a blue female Twi'lek Shadow. The main reason was years ago I ran a Star Wars tabletop RPG and my wife played a blue female Twi'lek. Although she was a soldier and not a jedi I decided to recreate her for my first playthrough. Well, first full playthrough. I started with a human female on a F2P account, then after subscribing I started over using my experience to create a better experience. I plan on completing all Classes and using a different race for each class. On the PTS I have a red female Twi'lek Assassin. I doubt I'll complete the story on the PTS so I just picked this without much thought, even though Twi'leks seem to be a good choice for a slave.

I am a new player and I have completed the Class Story for the Jedi Consular. I did most of the side quests and am glad I did. They may not add much to the overall story but to me they helped make the planets fell more complete. I probably will skip a lot of them with the other classes but I do recommend doing them at least once as others have said.

I also had this problem. Aren't they automatically active all the time now instead of having to activate them? Or am I thinking of something else.
