This is just my theory but I believe the jedi unlock will be along these lines:

XX number of randomly selected POI badges
XX number of randomly selected themeparks (possibly in the same pool as POIs)
XX number of randomly selected profession badges (also possibly in the same pool as POI/themeparks)

so lets say you have 30 selected badges from all of those that will help progress you towards jedi, but you only need 20. This way you don't get stuck grinding out professions like holo grind.

sounds like your typical unlock system right? WRONG!

on top of this beautiful simplistic system you have what is commonly referred to as PLANET KILLING or MOB HUNTING (pls god no). This system was used on old nova and liberator servers. Personally I think this is the hardest unlock method I have seen to date but it has never stopped me before. This system is an adaptation of the pre-cu padawan trials, but in the padawan trials you were told what you needed to kill. In this system there will be no hints, go fourth and kill everything you see. What we did on old nova and liberator was download a program someone made for keeping track of what you had killed so you don't waste time killing the same thing over and over again. I'll link it once I track it down again.

PLANET KILLING:
you have say 20 randomly selected MOBs on your list, but you only need to hit lets say 10 of them to finish your unlock (hopefully not all of them, I'll explain in a moment).

In it's entirety:
so you've got 20 randomly selected badges of all kinds on your list, and you've got 20 randomly selected MOBs on your list, BUT you only need to hit 30/40 out of all of those to unlock. So lets say you suck at mob killing or you are unlucky with your badges, this will allow you to compensate for your lack of competence(lol) in one area and and succeed in another. This really would be a brilliant and fair system.

just a theory, like gravity.

Other possibilities:
faction rank/points?
credits earned/in possession?
lots used?
skill points used?
shrines visited?
holocrons?

any other possibilities I'm missing?


***edit: I would also like to add that when I was reading somewhere about the unlock on this server they used the words, "wild goose chase", upon reading those words my heart sank and I immediately thought of the MOB hunting unlock.

I think everyone has a random list generated from the options below
random mobs
Location badges
Professions and
Themeparks
Some people might get more mobs than professions and so on which is why everyone would be different
Without a known check method it won't be confirmed until a few people unlock

There is nothing to lock. People are welcome to speculate all they want. When I used the phrase wild good chase it was in reference to Ed goofing on a few players in game one night. There will be no wild goose chase and no it's not about killing some random mob. As stated before we are done giving any hints. Continue speculating by all means.

Everyone please remember these threads are making assumptions about something that is unknown. We're ok with that as long as people don't really start believing it!

Will be exciting when we finally do get it figured out for sure, and well worth it. Hopefully we will be able to figure out how to tell our progress soon after the update :D would be nice to know, I'm Getting somewhat close at least -_-. Untill then Grind on my friends!

And yes Ed does like to pick on me an awful lot!

I know they say it is not mobs... but just before my brother quit - he reached barely... we were only playing for 3 hours at this point - we had no badges - we were simply wandering tatooine grinding random lairs...

Now he started like everyone at no connection and now /che is disabled so we don't know :)

It's a great theory until we actually know that someone unlocked without admin help

Sorry, if we gave it away, it wouldn't be worth it. Mystery is what makes Jedi that much better...

I never said to give it away. I only said we know that there isn't Jedi enabled UNLESS someone unlocks *without* admin help.

You're correct there. After looking at the data tables no one is anywhere close to unlocking. Everyone is still not looking outside the box and looking at the old stale ways of unlocking. The only way one will find the paths is to play.
