i believe that you have to talk to him on your ship after traveling to dxun and onderon, but im not sure. i talked to him not on the ship and it didnt give me the chance even though i had high influence with him
u should turn the skill level down to easy. you should then equip mira with the strongest pistols you have and use sniper shot to stun the guys. try to isolate them and fight them one at a time if possible. then let mira stay where she is for a while so your health can recover by itself
ive looked through the strategy guide for this and in the back where it tells all the crystals it tells all the possible stats for your characters crystal. the crystal color changes with your power but cant be used as the color crystal in your saber
i have the guide book. the guide book is only to help you out with the missions and describe all the items in the game. it doesnt tell you where to find the items and it doesnt reveal much plot spoilers in it either
