INTRODUCTION
Jedi, whether viewed as religious fanatics, skilled negotiators, protectors of the weak, mystical knights, manipulative deceivers, terrifying destroyers, or whiney farm boys, many people desire to become one and unlock their own hidden potential from within. This guide is designed to cover the entire process, from having no connection to the Force to becoming a full-fledged Jedi Padawan.
If your goal isn't to become a Jedi, but you still have interests in the new unlock system, then this guide has plenty of information for you too.
Want to make your existing template more powerful? There's information on the various FS skills which can augment regular professions quite beneficially. Find out what they do, how beneficial they will be, how they can be unlocked, when they can be unlocked, and how they can be purchased.
Are you a treasure collector? How about some cool and unique rewards, such as a banner that blows in the wind, crystals that can buff you, or even a plant that you can care for and grows fruit that you can pick! You'll find all the information you need to get these rewards from the new Force Sensitive quests here as well.
Perhaps you're just looking for some new content? Well this new system has it in spades! Just read over this guide to see all the stuff that the new unlock system ensues. Best of all you pretty much get to choose the content you want to pursue with the multi-faceted Force Sensitive quest system!
Of course, you'll also find all the information you need to become a Jedi Padawan here as well. So read on and prepare yourself, the new path awaits you!
SECTION 1: INTRO QUEST � GLOWING AND VISITS
(Note that pre-publish 9 Jedi are automatically granted access to the village and do not need to do any of the following, they can simply go straight to the village and enter it. You�ll need to visit Rohak first to get a Quest Journal Force Crystal before you can do any of the quests though.)
Badges
In order to gain access to the Village of Aurilia you must first be visited by the Old Man, and in order to be eligible for this visit you need to earn specific badges.
The combinations of badges you will need are: 1 Profession badge 5 Content badges 3 Jedi POI badges 2 Difficult POI badges 5 Easy POI badges

I can't guarantee the Imperial method, but I did the Rebel method with my 3-week-old Master Artisan/Master Smuggler (his only two badges) and was able to gain Force Sensitivity using it. The results should be the same with the Imperial path. [Update: The Imperial path has been confirmed to work.]
FYI, he started out with "You feel no connection with the force", got "You barely notice something different about yourself" at step 9, "You feel a faint sense of the force" at step 15, "You feel the Force surge within you" at step 19, and then finally "You feel an inner glow. The Force is with you" at step 20. It skipped "You have a strong sense of the Force within you" for some reason, but you can't argue with the results.
BTW, you could do the Corvette instead of the themeparks for content badges credit, but for the time it takes to get the tickets, buff everyone, and attempt to complete the Corvette it may almost be faster to just do the themeparks. However, if you have a few people trying to gain Force Sensitivity then the Corvette is probably faster (if you can all handle it or you have a good group that can).
Force Sensitivity
You can determine how close you are to becoming eligible for a visit from the Old Man by using the /checkForceStatus command.
This will give you one of six possible messages:
1/6: "You feel no connection with the force." 2/6: "You barely notice something different about yourself." 3/6: "You feel a faint sense of the force." 4/6: "You feel the Force surge within you." 5/6: "You have a strong sense of the Force within you." 6/6: "You feel an inner glow. The Force is with you."
Once you gain the "You feel an inner glow. The Force is with you." status you will be eligible for a visit from the Old Man.
Note: There is a rumour that dying before you receive the visit can lower your level of Force Sensitivity, meaning you'll have to raise it back up in order to be eligible for a visit again. This has yet to be confirmed or proven wrong though.
The Old Man (Intro Quest)
After getting your "inner glow" you will eventually receive a visit** from a mysterious Old Man. Appearing as a white dot on the map, converse with him and he will give you a Force Crystal and ask you to protect it.
You will now have access to a Quest Journal from the Force Crystal that allows you to keep track of what your current task is. You can view your Quest Journal either by selecting it from the crystal's radial menu, double-clicking the crystal, or by using the command /ui action questJournal.
Eventually some NPC's called "Sith Shadows" will attack you** (supposed to be only two of them, but it's sometimes four). They appear as red dots on the map. You must defeat them in order to protect the crystal. If they happen to kill you then you will lose the crystal and have to wait for another visit from the Old Man to get a new one. However, if you do manage to defeat them (they're very easy) you can loot "a Waypoint Datapad" with a waypoint to an encampment from (at least) one of them. Note that if you don't loot it or they weren't carrying one, you will then have to wait for another attack from some more Sith Shadows and try to loot one again.
Now you must activate and go to the given waypoint. It will lead you to a Sith Shadow encampment with 3-4 Sith Shadows outlaws. Defeat them and loot another datapad, "a mysterious Datapad", this one with a waypoint to a mysterious village on Dathomir.
Your Quest Journal will be updated, telling you to go to the Science Outpost on Dathomir, along with giving you a waypoint to a village southeast of the outpost. When you get to Dathomir, head towards the village. You will have to pass through a "wall" of mist when you get near the village (cannot be in combat). Once you arrive at the village talk to the village Elder, Rohak. He will reveal that this is the village of Aurilia and that they are currently being besieged by the Sith Shadows and are in great need of help...
**Note: You must be outside of a static city area in order to get a visit from the Old Man or Sith Shadows. Player cities don't seem to matter though. Also, it helps to not be zooming around on a vehicle either and supposedly they won't visit if you're in combat. Some methods that have worked for others is to shuttle around to various player cities, logging in and out repeatedly, and running towards the (0,0) center point on the map. Note that usually when you're out in the field they won't spawn right on top of you, instead they will come running towards your general direction from off the screen, so keep your eyes open for that kind of odd behaviour on the overhead map (such as a white dot bolting across the map for no apparent reason).
