The Greedo race is called Rodians, and yes, it is very likely that Rodians will be playable in SW TOR. They are one of the most featured races in SW EU, and they appeared in both of the KotOR games.
I want to be a Trandoshan bounty hunter who constantly makes ethnic jokes about Wookiees, but then says, "I'm just kidding, some of my best friends are Wookiees."
The races that have showed up in the demo vids:
Togruta
Kel Dor
Chagrian
Dashade (thought this was a Savrip at first)
Trandoshan (apparently, I thought this was a Duros at first)
Nikto

Gran

Kel Dors bother me. Without their masks, they have vagina faces.
Gran bother me too. Something about them basically looking like three-eyed goat men bugs the shit out of me. I expect them to chew cud. And, every time I play PnP and fight them, I make called shots against their eye stalks to "fix them".
Regarding the Nautolans (Kit Fisto), I liked them a lot more in the Clone Wars series than I liked the "real" version in the movies. In the movies, the rubber looks ridiculous, but somehow the CGI rendering makes it look less goofy. Though, I don't think I give the faux Jamacian accent a thumbs up.
If I want to put my favorite race in the hat, I'm going to go with the Weequay. I also like Arkanians, but they're all dicks.

Without their masks, they also can't breathe outside of their home planet, so odds are you won't see many without the mask.

It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

The question I've seen raised though is will BioWare be willing to implement voice acting for non-Basic/English speaking races for every permutation of race and class? I believe that to be doubtful. This eliminates Rodians and Wookies as player characters, though they could certainly show up as companions (which requires a lot less voice acting, and only one set of lines instead of six).

I couldn't stop laughing as I thought about someone recording an entire voice track for a wookie PC in this game.
It's a cute thought but I don't think that would stop them from recording a couple of hours of gargles and barks to mash together for wookie speech.
I don't think wookie's will be player characters but not for that reason.

Anything wrong with a wookie sith shooting lightning out of his paw?

In Jedi Academy, Rodians and Kel Dor spoke Basic. Same in the Clone Wars series for Rodians. I don't believe there's a physical limitation to Rodians speaking Basic... they just lisp. Greedo was just poorly educated. Even Jar-Jar could speak Basic. Think about that the next time you see Greedo.
Wookiees can't speak Basic, though, unless they have what their species considers a speech impediment.'
The races that really can't speak Basic are relgated to bug-men, lizard-men, and bear-men. So, I don't think you'd have a big problem providing a range of characters. Hell, you can make a Rodian lisp via Auto-Tune.

I just imagined a bunch of Rodians walking around the game sounding like Kanye West in "Heartless."

Correct me if i'm wrong, but lightsaber nunchaku seems like a terrible idea. It's like a jedi got piss drunk and ended up convinced he could improve on the lightsaber.
I'm picturing every idiot ever who tried to look cool while using them. Only instead of whapping themselves in the balls or face, he takes off several inches of flesh, or de-limbs himself.
Hell, even a Sith would just need to force push the nunchaku into the user.
Lightsabers evolved from Proto-sabers which were described as using "Frozen-Blaster" technology.
But honestly, if you go to making a "projectile" lightsaber weapon you've pretty much just made the blaster again and a Jedi will be able to deflect it.
And as far as practicality goes, these are the ones that make the most sense:
Standard Sabers
Dual-Phase
Double-bladed
Short Sabers
After those four they start getting a little wiggy.
There was a guy in one of the books who had a double-barrel blaster that was designed so the blaster bolts would intersect at a certain range and cause a big explosion.

Wouldn't having the saber turned on underwater superheat the water and cook you? Boil 'im like a fish.

EDIT: Also, choking with the chain works great.
I think he knows how nun-chucks work, he's referring to the user touching the chains.

Personally I want armor made out of lasers. I'd just run around screaming guttural noises while tackling people
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.

Soon enough they will be using guns that shoot out these light/laser beams.
I know, sounds ridiculous but i could see them being written into the EU.

Wasnt there a gun in dark forces that was just like a shotgun? I think it may have been some sort of modified mining lazer....
