Well if current classes are any suggestion, the Kineticist can easily be built to resemble a jedi.

Or a Magus with the right spell selection. Especially if you go Black Blade.

The Mind Sword archetype for Paladins gets psychic magic, and can throw their sword as an attack. I think Jedi was very much the inspiration there.
Curse you for introducing me to another webcomic.

You're too late, I've already Fallen. :P

While they get some spells normally on psychic spell lists, they still cast as divine casters, though, not psychic casters.
I played a womanizing swashbuckler with a laser-rapier, telepathic, and telekinetic powers in Skulls and Shackles. (Soulknife/Nomad/Elocator/Dark Tempest) He was a blast to play.
Oh, I've used similar builds for jedi as well. Or sith, as the game requires.

Will there be a class similar to this?
I vote yes to this idea and add:
Sith Hellknights.

Then again, they really had me at space goblins. I mean goblins. In space. Sold.
Fraahl Mindknights!

Not sure what those are. Google came up empty for Fraahl and Fraahl Mindknights. Care to elaborate? :)

They're called Fraals, that's why. They're little grey men from d20 modern/future that have psychic powers.
Mindknights are a 3.X prestige class from WoTC.

Thank you IonutRO !

Sorry :(
Fraal (coulda sworn there was an "h" in there...) are a race from the Stardrive Campaign Setting for the Alternity Sci-Fi game from WotC. They were a very "mind power" ish race, who had a character archetype called Mindknight, that were basically Jedi.
I played one, and had a lot of fun with it.
See, I get the feeling the Mystic is more true to the Jedi. Take the requisite weapon proficiency there you go.

The designers have explicitly said that the Solarion is closest to a Jedi. It's a melee class with an energy melee weapon, telekenetic ("gravity") powers, and energy-based powers. It even has two polarities in the Force... er.... "solar energy" they draw from. If you go far along one end of the spectrum, you can't do as much on the other end of the spectrum. I don't know how much closer you could get to Jedi without calling it a Jedi. :)
It does sound like the polarity mechanic is very different from a Dark Side Corruption-type mechanic though.
What the devs feel, and what I feel are two different things. Technically speaking I feel a gestalt psychic warrior/psion is the closest mechanically to a Jedi. But of the way the new classes have been described the Mystic feels more like a Jedi than the Solarion. Totally an opinion though.

I don't think the mystic will have the combat abilities of a Jedi. I think they will be 'Full Caster' without great melee and combat skills. Just my opinion.

You misunderstand. I do not mean to say you can't make a very Jedi-like character with the Solarion. You could absolutely make an awesome character with that class, and you could absolutely call it a Jedi and I doubt anyone would argue it wasn't (except on the internet). However, my personal concept of Jedi isn't as combat focused. My Jedi is more Obi Wan, less Anakin. I'd have to see the classes, but the way they're described the Solarion doesn't sound like it has the more non-combat abilities that I want. It's a personal preference.

Sounds closer to something like the philosophies for the Antipodist
I totally didn't just get done reading about this class and mechanics last week. =)

Yeah, I'm no Star Wars aficionado. Jedi to me is a dude like Luke kickin ass with an energy sword and doing flips. I'm not familiar with the whole Star Wars Universe, couldn't gag my way through the 4th-6th films made, never watched Clone Wars or read any books. So your vision of a Jedi may very well be the more common one, no idea. :)

It's all good. Basically, if I can't charm monster, calm emotions, or cast divination magic it just isn't a Jedi to me.

Blue and red?
This sounds like a fun class! Will we be seeing a preview soon or least the iconic for the class?

Unless your perception of time is on a geological scale then unfortunately no.
This alias is a gestalt build of a sith-inspired character.
