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

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.

While that is true, it doesn't make special bonuses vs Jedi any more logical. After all, the message here is that Sith fight even better vs Jedi. Now you could argue that they are passionate about killing them or that it's basically their prime motive - and that would also make sense. But why is a Sith better at defeating a Jedi as opposed to, say, a rebel dude? One also wields the force, the other has but a little blaster in his hand. Again, Sith might be more passionate about killing a Jedi than effortlessly destroying a random dude, but the Jedi would certainly put up more of a fight.

Yes, your Sith friends slaughtered all the Jedi - but that wasn't exactly a fair fight as you well know. Without EP's genius plots, the Sith wouldn't stand a chance to rule the galaxy - simply because they were vastly outnumbered. But that's not the point here anyway. Sith fight better, makes sense. Jedi are natural protectors of the weak, see the Code for that.

So all I'm really saying is that a Sith being better at defeating a Jedi than anything else, like a droid, rebel, you name it, doesn't make sense to me.

But then again, not very much in this game makes sense that way, so whatever.

The fact remains that the only times we saw a sith defeated before Luke, the sith were only apprentices, and even Luke needed his daddy to save him. Also remember that when Anakin and Kenobi had their first duel Anakin had turned to the dark side 7 minutes ago and hadn't really been trained yet. You really think Kenobi would've stood a chance against Papa Palp when even Yoda knew his only option was to flee?
