When we use to play the SW RPG most people wanted to be a Jedi. However we had to limit this since they were to OP.
One guy only wanted to be a smuggler. He was a huge Han Solo fan. My first character was a wookie specialized in close combat and he was pretty OP. My second was a farm boy pilot that trained to be a jedi under another PC. When I moved, the last game I played, I turned him darkside, crippled my master and gave the GM my character as a NPC villain. No one saw it coming and it got a great mixed reaction.
I sunk tons of xp in lightsaber combat and i think meditate or something like that. With that and feed on darkside I was a monster. I could probably have killed the entire party but that was to evil for me.
