Be level 50, have level 49 blues at least, and start with Eternity Vault. You'll be fine.

Return of the Jedi, Palpatine is giving Luke the force lightning treatment, and Luke is on the floor saying, "Father, please."

Key word is "near". The penalty for treason is death. To quote the Sith Inquisitor speaking to Darth Zash, "You're a sith! Act like it!"

No, in fiction the good guys always win. In reality, not so much.

Star Wars isn't Sci-Fi; it's Sci-Fantasy. As such, it should not be compared to Star Trek. Also, the many-worlds interprettation of quantum mechanics doesn't imply that any fiction is real and true, only that anything allowed by the laws of physics is.

In what way is Quinn interesting? He's essentially an order-taking military beaurocrat with very little personality to speak of. All of the other SW companions are more insteresting, even Boommark.

Quinn is dead to me. I tortured him to death after the "incident" before Corelia and Bioware should have given us the option to do just that. I don't even care about getting another companion to replace him; I want him DEAD!

Anytime and good luck!

You're good. Honestly, you can dive into Normal Mode Ops as soon as you hit 50. I think EV is easier than KP, so start there and you'll be fine.

I think the word you were looking for is MOOT, not MUTE.

Wish I'd rolled on an RP server. I'm still waiting someone to post a "witty" name on this thread.

Don't ditch them; help them level. I hit 50 way before the rest of my guild and I PvPed to get gear and helped them with missions and flashpoints. Now we have 7 50s and will be starting Operations as soon as we get one more.
