There was some confusion regarding talents last time. They are pretty poorly presented in Saga Edition; and some are very good while others are completely useless. I've been meaning to streamline them a bit, so here goes:

Talents are just like feats, but unlike feats you're more limited in which talents you can buy. Usually only those talent trees that are available to you class. You can select from the talent trees listed. Most classes have fewer trees, but as Force-users you have extra options. There is one catch; you don't get very many talents (level/3, round up + bonus talents), so spend them wisely (E Leet currently has 4, E'tan 5). You can also use Feats to buy the Talented feat; which gives you a bonus talent...

• Light Side: Mostly stuff that will let you ward off Dark Side attacks.
• Jedi Guardian: Fast, tough, melee expert. That's the Jedi guardian. Example: Elusive target, resilience.
  
• Lightsaber mastery: Lets you use your lightsaber to block and deflect incoming attacks; stuff only Jedi can do. Examples: Block, riposte, deflect, reflect.
• Control: Lets you shrug off damage and deliberating effects.
• Sense: Lets you use Sense in new ways; you could gauge the Force potential in another sentient, peer into the future to give yourself combat bonuses, etc.
• Alter: Lets you use Alter in new and exiting ways; you could, for example, get better at using telekinetic powers or Force lighting, you could learn how to create Force illusions, and much more.
