What changes can I expect as a returning player of SWG?

I have a CL80 rifleman/combat medic with robot arms who is force sensitive with 1 branch. I also have all sorts of rifles, full suit of bounty hunter armor, and scout trooper armor. i also have starships, mounts, vehicles, and lots of resources. basically i have everything except jedi. what will change for me, or what will i have to change to? I would like to be a bounty hunter again.

will there be fun quests like the space station quest for my level?

i liked the trial and the NGE, i'm just not sure how the high level game is.

When you log in you'll be told to respec.  If you choose BH you will need to get new armour (from the Assault line).  Most of your weapons will still be useable but some may require you to be lvl 88 and others may be profession specific (not many of these).  If you respec to  Jedi you won't be able to wear any armour but you'll be able to use any weapon that isn't profession specific.  Overall, anything that doesn't have to do with combat isn't changed.

Profession specific quest at this stage end at lvl 30.  If you have the latest expansion, the quests like those you find on the Space station begin again (ie you can choose your rewards and you get XP as well for completing them).  Most quests on Mustafar are high-end quests.  I would expect any new quests to be the same, and the devs have also talked about re-doing quests in the rest of the game (like with Kashyyyk and the theme parks)

Just a side note, the MMORPG.com site has a SWG specific sub-forum, might wanna check that out for some info and for future questions on the game
