Jedis are very easy to play... like Emjay said, just go through legacy. Occasionally, you'll get a weapon as a reward. Just pick whatever variation of a lance that comes along, and pick up any lance weapons that mobs drop, and you should be fine until level 26, when you get your first color crystal and lightsaber. Lightsaber crafting was a big tricky for me at first, since I had no idea as to how to get resources for it, but then I found a great store on Tatooine (whose coords I shall not divulge here, lest they be snatched up by countless unworthies), but if you're on Europe Far-Star, send Krenesa (my character) a pm, and I'll help you out. Also, if you're looking to become a sith, I've got a great guild for you. But on any server, just look for somewhat more experienced jedi. Both the light and dark side and almost always willing to help out noobs. As far as buying things, just buy... well, nothing, really. Jedi can't wear armor, except for armor specifically crafted for them, which is fairly rare, and is pretty ugly, anyway. Just wear your robes for the most part... I wear a bunch of clothes that boost my attributes more than my robes, but again... they just don't look as cool. But like I said: Jedis are very easy to play. Just go through the missions, and your character will unfold just as you want it to.
