From The LNR Book of Knowledge

Jedi are Force Sensitive beings that can use their Force power to overcome and control their enemies and can master the art of fighting with a lightsaber. Force Sensitive individuals feel a connection to the energy that surrounds all living things and binds the galaxy together.

Skills:

• Lightsaber Combat
• Force Powers
• Block Blaster Bolts
• Force Lightning

Jedi students are just beginning to learn the full power behind the Force. Other than a Padawan Robe that distinguishes you from other professions, you won't be wielding a lightsaber and performing amazing feats with the aid of the Force anytime soon. Becoming a Jedi master takes a lot of work and dedication; you'll need to earn these powers as you gain experience in the ways of the Force.

Once you've finished the tutorial, it's a good idea to spend a bit of time exploring Tansarii Point Station and helping the people there with various quests. You'll earn both experience and credits to get yourself started. You can also learn piloting skills while you're here. For grouping experience, Gamma Station is a dungeon designed for levels 1-10 that's only a short space hop away from Tansarii Point Station.
