How will we be introduced to our new character? What is his story?

Mike Gallo: At the beginning you'll be able to create and customize your character in one of three different Jedi classes, and choose to be male or female. You'll also discover very early on that the character is being hunted by several Sith Lords, and hundreds of Sith assassins. They believe that your character is the last known Jedi in the galaxy, and they want you out of their way.
