Do you have to make a custom character everytime when you join a server or is your character saved so you can use it on any server? im talking about the ingame custom jaden.

When you start MP, your SP character is not saved. But you can just use the same options (if you remember them) again.

Your mp created character should be saved, unless you change models, then you will have to start all over again.

It's not that bad, and you may be able to create a cfg file with the exact settings you want, that you can just "exec" in the console before each MP session.

Now you don't HAVE to choose the customizable Jedi in MP, you have about 38 other models you can use (each each of those has the default plus two team colors).
