So in theory you could do the Jedi Story line with a Sith Socerer combat style and feel like you're really playing a Dark Jedi.
The next is huge for Jedi and Sith players. In that if you play your story darkside you will be able to gain Dark Side powers, like you could suddenly gain access to Force Crush, or lightning. Or you could be Sith that plays lightside and get a lot of the healing powers

Loadouts.
Which means with one click you could change from a Commando loadout of armor and weapons and abilities to lets say a smuggler or agent.
New Storyline that follows the War between Sith and Republic, as well as Malgus rampaging around the galaxy now that he's freed himself from slavery.
The story returns to the underwater world of Maanan

Lots of other stuff, but this is a major expansion and the class changes are game changing.
Also the dark and light alignments mean something now with alignment requirements giving you different skills.
