3. Aside from the aforementioned Use the Force - in Saga Edition the Jedi are pretty much balanced with other combat focused characters, though both will be noticeably better in a fight than a more skill based class such as a Noble. However, those support characters can still pull their weight in combat and do more outside of it.
4. General tactical note: in Saga Edition everyone who isn't a Jedi should be hugging cover virtually all of the time - and even Jedi should use cover when they can.
