2) acquire Jedi at 3rd level .. getting Force sensitive feat for free and using your level 3 charactewr feat for Skill training to get Use teh force

This is what I've been saying.  You only get those bonus feats as a 1st level character!!!  If you pick it up at 2nd level, then you will be 1st Level in the Jedi Class but you're a 2nd level character so you don't get any of the bonus feats.  

Under class features on page 38 and online, it says you only get those at 1st LEVEL not first level in the class.  On Page 36 in the side bar they go out of their way to point out Class level and Character Level are two different things.  I don't know why they weren't clearer because that goes against everything 3.5 players have learned.  But everything online says if you don't pick up Jedi at First Level then you need to Pick up Force Sensitivity AND Weapon Proficiency Light sabers to be able to use them when you become a Jedi because you don't get them for free after 1st Character Level.

But if you want to house rule that you do get them then WOOO HOOO!!!  I think it's a stupid rule too.

BTW, I found more info about defense Bonuses.  So while you don't add different classes together you do get to pick the best bonus out of all your classes.  So a Solder would have +1 Reflex and +2 Fort, if he then picked up a jedi class +1 Reflex, +1 Fort, +1 Will, you would gain only the +1 Will.  Your final bonus would be +1 Reflex, +2 Fort, +1 Will.   If later you pick up a level of Noble who gains +1 Reflex and +2 Will then your new bonus would become +1 Reflex, +2 Fort, +2 Will.
