Is there a reason that jedi are the only faction targeted by abilities?

They aren't the only ones that receive extra detrimental effects from abilities? Outside of anti-critical abilities there are a lot that target droids, even though droids don't do so hot on defense in the first place

You should work towards getting Zeta abilities for QGJ, Yoda, Barriss, etc. Jedi already have counters to Sith.

There's plenty of specific anti-rebel, anti-droid, anti-Empire, and anti-scoundrel abilities. Not sure how Jedi are being singled out here.

Better question is why no anti-sith

Jedi are far from the only faction with specific skills that target them

Jedi and clone toons may not have specifically mentioned anti-sith abilities but many of them have abilities that directly counter sith. They have more tenacity boosting than any other faction which greatly impairs the sith. Yoda, QGJ, Barriss, GK, and Rex all can seriously reduce the effectiveness of EP, Vader, and Mail.

Because until Luke the sith were having their way with the Jedi, they simply weren't ready and were outmatched

What are the anti-scoundrel abilities? Didn't know about those.

Although, yes, the OP is probably more complaining, it is true that there are way more anti-jedi abilities than they have anti-abilities as a faction. They only have Eeth and Ima with their anti-droid skills.
Sidious, Dooku, Maul, Vader, EP, HK, IG-100, General Grievous and Cad Bane all have anti-jedi abilities.
There are no anti-sith abilities at all.
Ugnaught, Jawa, Dathcha, Ima, and Eeth koth are the only ones with anti-droid abilities.
Wedge, HRSc, HRSol, Baze, Biggs, Cassian, and Chirrut have anti-empire abilities.
Veers, Vader, GMT, and EP all have anti-rebel abilities.
Theres a much higher number of anti-jedi abilities than other abilities. 9 anti-jedi, 7-anti empire, 5 anti-droid, and only 4 anti-rebel abilities, not to mention there aren't any anti-scoundrel or anti- sith abilities. Or Anti-nightsister, or anti-resistance/anti-first order. Theres 7 anti-empire abilities and theres far less empire characters in the game than rebels or jedi.

They don't seem to be evenly distributed, and I'd like to see a few more anti-_____ abilities, although it does occasionally create niches for characters rather than making them overall useful.

Hello,

Boba Fett has an anti-scoundrel feat on his basic ;)

I totally agree. I keep reading suggestions to introduce more sith, who of course all have massive bonuses against Jedi. I totally understand that some zeta abilities and the general are pretty dope, but your common Jedi really isn't that fancy. Absolutely not necessary to have special counters for them.

I say Jedi should have some kind of defensive bonus vs sith. Who knows better how to defend against sith than the Jedi?

So +1 for sure

Um. What? Did you watch the movies? The sith arrange the slaughter of the entire jedi order save for a few lucky ones who managed to escape. These "lucky" ones are then systematically hunted down and executed by Vader. There are few jedi who deserve any anti-sith abilities. Only Windu, Kenobi, and Jedi Luke (who isn't even in game) really deserve any. Yoda does to an extent, but his tenacity up satisfies that since most sith rely on debuffs.
