Can the consulars use light sabres? If so, inv. Otherwise I'd be the jedi knight.
From what I've seen they can and are the ones that use the double-sided ones. However, it looks like their combat is more magic-oriented (fighting with the force rather than a lightsaber). But who knows, that's the class they've released the least info about.
As for the gameplay, I actually am optimistic about how it appears to be the characters operating independently yet still toward the same goal. In the multiplayer video I saw the trooper took aggro of the big guy, the smuggler attacked from the sides from cover, the jedi ran off and took out the adds and offtanked, while the consular healed and killed a few smaller adds. Haven't seen enough to say, but I hope it isn't like wow where you have 25 people stabbing a dragon in the shin for 8 minutes. I like the idea of the fight being more complex, with a lot of smaller enemies to manage.

Akina: bitch I will stab you in the face
