No class and race diversity?

After browsing their site I am left to wonder: is SW: TOR nothing else but a jedi online game? of the 8 classes in the game (4 good - 4 bad) 4 of them are force users, 2 soliders and two "rogue" classes. Where is the diversity?
And what about playable races?? Do they offer diversity here? It does not look like to me..

What kind of diversity do you want? Giant pink bunny rabbits of death as a playable class?
Only one playable race has been revealed, and it's humanoid. It's unlikely we'll get any extremely alien races, but most of the aliens in Star Wars are humanoid anyways.
You can leave the pink bunnies at home, but it would be nice to have spieces like:
Bothan, Gungan, Ithoran, Mon calamaris, Rodian, Sullustan, Trandhoshan, Twileks, Wokkies, zabraks etc.
You know, SW spieces.
One race? he. I think I will stay away from this game...
There will be more races, they'll probably reveal them at E3, and if not, over the course of the next year before release.
There are 8 classes with a unique storyline each, every one of them will be able to splice off into two advanced classes, giving you a total of 16 options.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
I want my Wookie Jedi bitch! Or it's cookie cutter care bear trolling time!
Scraro aoacwo wwoorcoawo rhwo ohahaoac rooohu! Eh, may the force be with you!
Why everything about Jedi?? Why not bring in some other neat classes? Traders? Entertainers? Crafters? Many other games have brought in classes like these with great success! I would like to see something brought in with a social aspect, and not let everything be about grinding, missions and quests!
uuhhh.... SWG?
one alien race has been revealed.
revealed.

Now that was a good game! Until NGE that is!
I am feeling that you haven't done much browsing , 8 Clases 16 at Advanced and there may be more we just do not know yet. This game will not be Jedi centric all classes will be able to pack a similar puch and that is what will be great about this Game.
The time and effort these guys have put in tehre will be a lot of diversity. Your post sounds a little on the negative side, you may be better to wait and see.

Oh hey, why am I not surprised?
For the upteenth time: TOR will NOT be like SWG. TOR will be its OWN GAME.
Heh, since the first announcement i lost a lot of faith in this mmo, it's not "SWG as it should have been", it's just "WoW with SW reskinning"... there won't be traders, corsairs, entertainers, smugglers or whatever... all classes are combat-centric, as is the general gameplay...
.. hopefully it will improve, but there is a good point here, why are there so many variations of jedi's, why not just 2, light jedi and dark jedi, that would allow for more none jedi classes, Teras kasi/martial artist would be cool! seriously though, this game is in serious danger of just being another jediathon..
Out of my rl friends and i who plan on playing this game (about 8 people) only three of us plan on making a jedi (two knights and a consulor) our first character (i may also make a consoler, not sure yet). I personally am leaning toward making a smuggler with 2 other people and the final 2 are making a troopers. I think class pops will be relativly balanced, but do think that jedi's will be slightly more popular than the others. I seem to think that not many people will play troopers or agents because they just lack that cool factor... I would bet a good chunk of change that bounty hunters and smugglers will be extremely popular as well. who wouldnt want to be as cool as han or boba?

No. You have 4 classes(tank,dps,AoE,support-very original scheme) with different name and textures for each side, Split into two-defend it as you want- "talent" trees and one race
Wake up people and stop defend it with "the game is not released yet, more will come" -it's not(most probably), they pull all their aces and it sucks
WoW-copycat time baby!
Now give me some dont-buy-it-then hate:D
I think I actually spent way more time reading and theorycrafting about MMOs than playing them
Agreed on wanting some sort of martial arts class. TKM and BH were always my favorite to alternate between in galaxies. What I don't understand is the worry as to what other people are playing. Who cares if it's a Saberfest, let them play it. It will eventually even out, and even if it doesn't (which I believe is highly unlikely) wouldn't this mean you're playing one of the low pop classes making you more attractive to those throwing groups together? Sounds like a win to me.
Jango was the cool Fett.

I know I know I know! And I know that! And have no problem with that! BUT! This game is doing the same mistakes as SWG:NGE!!! That is what I am trying to poiint out!
I am sure it will be fantastiv graphic and soundwise! SWG was too! And some other recentonline games too have had ok gfsx and sounds! its just that when it comes to gameplay something is always missing, and that is what I call the glue!
I hope this game will fare well! I would love to play another good SW game! I love the SW universe! But I try to not be blind and have plenty of MMO experience seeing I have played for 10-12 years different online games!
Are you kidding me? How was Jango the cool Fett, what made Boba so cool was the fact that he barely ever spoke, was always in the background and had a general aura of 'extreme badass' around him.
O_o o_O
He was a poser. Living off his dad's rep.
Jango had a whole army patterned after him.

It isn't really a mistake imo. SWG was a entirely different game before the NGE. Everything that changed, the whole game, was the mistake. ToR is being built around having Jedi as a starting class and to make up a good deal of the population. SWG was about Jedi too even before CU and the NGE. Holo grinding, the village, same thing. People didn't get upset until what they worked for became instant gratification for others. Understandable, but holds no comparison here.
And since you mentioned it, I'm not a crafting/trader kind of guy, but I would like to see a decent system put in place, where crafting is essential. Could care less about entertainers though.
You don't need to use so many exclamation marks
Not again.
I'm so sick of people thinking that everything about this game has been revealed when it obviously hasn't. They JUST STARTED TO REVEAL THE RACES THIS WEEK.
Holy crap, have some bloody patience people.
Please stop being rude to other posters expressing valid and allowable views. Just because they think this game has quite eveident structural weaknesses and bodes strongly to be one of the worst commercial and game failures the industry has ever seen, there's no need for you to vent your hate on them day after day. They are allowed to post without being harrassed.
I see no harrasment. Point it out.
Show me the harassment. Prove it. I haven't harassed anybody. I told them to have some patience. The number of posts on here that are just freaking out in advance for no reason has gotten out of hand. The fact that no one ever does anything about it is incredibly aggravating. And just because you may not like me pointing facts out does not contitute harassment.
You freaking out day after day over nothing but your imagination is no need fr you to continually post about how everything about this game sucks. If you hate the game so much, there are other games to post on that will probably make you much happier. You continually harassing us with your hatred toward everything about this game day after day can be considered trolling.
