Which factions gets what classes?

It’s my belief that there won’t be a lot of classes in total in TOR as each has to have a very deep storyline created for it. To do this properly, the classes have to be low. Sound fair to you? Seems VERY logical to me. So what have we got so far?

Sith: Sith, Bounty Hunter

Republic: Jedi

OK, now let’s say these devs are working with symmetry. What is the counterpoint to a bounty hunter? What’s something we’ve seen them chase? Say, Han Solo versus Boba Fett. Why… a smuggler!

I hypothesise:

Sith: Sith, Bounty Hunter

Republic: Jedi, Smuggler

Now, going on the artwork, and suggestions already made, a Republic trooper seems a no brainer:

Sith: Sith, Bounty Hunter

Republic: Jedi, Smuggler, Trooper

So, one more for luck… what would the Sith version of a Trooper be like? I guess if could be a regular sort of soldier… and we’ve certainly seen those in the miniatures game… but let’s say they continue this theme of the classes not being the same as each other, ie: bounty hunters aren’t like smugglers.

Something popular and suitably Sith-like… let’s see… how about… spy?

So we’d have:

Sith: Sith, Bounty Hunter, Spy

Republic: Jedi, Smuggler, Trooper

What do you guys think of that? And remember, I’ve already been called crazy and then proven right before…
