Unlock Cheat Node
The Cheat Node is a menu that can be accessed in the backrooms of the Jekk'Jekk Tar tunnels. Much like the galaxy droid from the original game, there are interesting features in this hidden menu. Some of them skip you ahead in the area, such as 'Skip to final final sequence', while others seemingly do nothing, such as 'Delete Mira'.
To access the Cheat Node, you need to climb out of the pit after defeating your opponent (Mira or Hanharr). Go through the door that leads out of the pit, after defeating the Ubese, then take the left most door. There is another door straight ahead of this where the Node is. Upon entering this room, defeating the 3 Ubese, and immediately after you defeat the last Ubese, you need to move your character to the wall directly opposite of the door and keep moving towards it.
If done correctly, your targeting reticule will go blue and select the wall for a split second. Hit A immediately. You are now in conversation mode with a Ubese who is beh ind the wall in the room with the Exit. You are now able to access the Cheat Node.
Add a controller to the fourth port and press BLACK or WHITE to raise and lower their voice.
Cheat: Unlimited Dark Side Points
At one point during the Czerka/Ithorian Conflict on Telos, a band of Mercenaries attack the Ithorian Complex. You receive a call from Mozo, who is holed up in the vivarium. When you come to his rescue and wipe out the Mercenaries, he thanks you and offers you a keycard. Ask for a reward, and when he offers you none, leave him to fend for himself, and then say "Better you than me". You will receive dark side points. The best part is, you can keep repeating this over and over again for as long as you want for unlimited dark side points!
Whenever the Handmaiden teaches you more fighting moves, you both remove the clothes or armor you are wearing. After you fight, she does not put her clothes back on herself. Instead of going to the Equip screen and reequipping her with her robes; put clothes on yourself and talk to her and tell her that she should put some clothes on. She will then put on her robes and when you check the inventory, you'll find you have more than one. This works every time you have the conversation with her. No one else can equip the robes, but they do bring in a couple thousand credits for each. They can also be broken down into components.
Cheat: Easily Win Swoop Race
This works in every swoop race except for the one on Nar Shadaa. Purposely direct your swoop craft into a striped barrier. Just before you hit the wall hit the START button. This will bring up an option to forfeit the race. Hit A and the swoop will drift forward a bit until it hits the wall. Your race time will be whatever time was displayed when you crashed.
On the secret Jedi base on Telos, you can speak to the handmaiden repeatedly to gain infinite light side points.
Cheat: Infinite Experience
On Narshadaa there is a speeder that needs to be repaired. Get the navigation interface from the droid vendor or shop and install one part. Choose to repair the speeder and it will give you the experience and the part back. Repeat this to gain infinite experience.
Cheat: Duplicate Lightsaber
To duplicate a lightsaber use a work bench and update a Jedi companion’s lighsaber. Change the color crystals (needed to work) and assemble. Select the same saber and click color crystal again but don’t change, on the screen that shows all the color crystals press X. you should now have two of the same light sabers in your inventory. Save and reload so the game doesn’t glitch and restart.
You can have three crystals in one saber. For this to work you need 2 of the same crystal. Remove all of the power crystals from your saber and assemble. Now place a good crystal in the bottom slot. Exit the work bench after you assemble. Reenter the work bench and on the saber put the same crystal in top as you did in the bottom and assemble. Now don’t exit the workbench but go back into the saber assembly and there should be a free spot on the bottom. Now you have 3 crystals in your saber. Save and reload so it doesn’t glitch.
Unlockable: Secret Compartment on Ebon Hawk
Ask the "Original owner" of the Ebon Hawk (Nar Shaadda) for proof of ownership of the Ebon Hawk and he will rattle off Ebon Hawk facts including the location of 2 secret compartments. They can’t be found unless you do this. Sadly the smugglers compartment was removed. But one secret compartment remains in the starboard side. Be "nice" to the chap.
Upon the participation of the invasion/defense of Onderon Palace, you will find a terminal with (3) numerical riddles which only have a one shot chance. You fail, it is locked permanently.
The codes are: 1)66 2)45 3)39
Inside this locked room is a rare item called the Ultima Pearl. It is a rare light saber crystal that contains stats: Damage +2, Attack +3, and Mass Criticals 1-6.
Unlockable: Mira and the Force
Later in the game after you have high influence with Mira (after Nar Shaada) there are a new line of questions that appear. Eventually a topic will come about Kreia telling you about the forces Nar Shaada posses. At one time in front of the cantina/pazakk entrance a split screen appeared and she spoke of the forces around you. Speak to Mira after gaining high influence over her and the option to show here the force of Nar Shaada will become available. Tell her you will take her to the spot where Kreia showed you earlier and then take her to the spot. Another split screen will appear without you bringing up a dialogue box.
Duplicate lightsaber forever
Once you get Visas Mar as a character (do not kill her)and after you get your lightsaber, equip it to Visas. Go to any workbench select her lightsaber and change the crystal color (middle box) by selecting assemble and then go back into her lightsaber but do not do anything but press assemble again. You will have two of the exact same lightsaber. Exit the workbench and press start and then save after you saved, load the game. You will have the duplicated lightsaber forever.
Hint: Unlimited Experience
In the Sith tomb inside the Shyrack cave on Korriban there is room that contains the body of a dead Jedi. Every time you search the body a pair of Hssiss appears in the room. Keep searching and killing to level up as much as you want. The death field power speeds things up and keeps you healthy in the process.
Hint: Nar Shadah Lock Code
On Nar Shadah there is a locking mechanism that you'll need to get past in order to save one of your characters.
You must make the top code match the bottom code to proceed. Simply pick Rotate middle set counter-clockwise, Rotate left set counter-clockwise, Rotate right set clockwise.
Hint: Persuade Handmaiden to Become Jedi
You need to have a high influence with Handmaiden & have completed training with her. This is done after finishing on Nar Shadda as the third or fourth planet. Find out that her mother was a Jedi from Kreia. After a long talk with the Handmaiden you have the option to train her in the force. If you agree to train her, you will get a nice cut-screen.
Hint: Bao-Dur Uses the Force
Once you have a high influence with Bao-Dur a new line of questions opens up. This only happens once so pay attention. He will tell you that traveling with you has had an effect on him. After this an offer to train him appears and if you both have the same alignment he agrees.
Hint: Mandalorian Battle Circle
If you are have difficulty defeating the more advanced fighters on Dxun, simply cast the force powers you want to use during the fight right before you talk to the Mandalorian Sergeant. Once you do that, speak with him and tell him you want to fight, after this you can enter a fight already having the effects of your force powers, without being disqualified.
On Dantooine, you'll have to face Master Vrook if you've chosen the dark path. He continuously uses the defensive force stance and heals himself almost every time you attack him. The easiest way to beat him is to cast whatever level of Jedi speed you have training in, run to the back of the room behind either tree, and hide. This will allow you time to heal if you've run low of health or force points. Get Vrook to follow you behind one of the trees and loose him there, so he stays back behind the tree and you end up in the open room. While he's behind the tree plant a lot of mines in the path between you and Vrook. Get his attention and make sure he takes a direct path to you through the mines. Vrook hits the mines like a crazed bantha getting zapped with a Ghed stun stick and poof - ends up parts and pieces everywhere.
HInt: Handmaiden Handiness
After you have sparred with Handmaiden, she will be wearing only underwear. When you talk her into putting something on, she uses her mother's robes. Whenever, you leave the Ebon hawk with her, Take the robes off and leave her without clothes. Return to the Ebon Hawk and talk her into wearing the robes again. When you leave the Hawk one more time, remove the robes again. You will see that there are two in your inventory list instead of one. You can do this as many times as you want. They can sell for 1800 credits each and break down for 200 parts when creating other items.
Hint: Sure-Fire Silver Lightsaber
On Nar Shadaa there are two merchants, Geeda and Oondar. If you talk to Oondar he will complain about a Not-male Rodian. Ask him why there is no line and he will tell you about Geeda after that, choose the dialogue option about her. If you help him he will give you a discount.
Proceed to speak to Geeda about Oondar and she will give you a discount. Talk to Oondar again and he will threaten you. Tell Geeda about the deal, and she will say you have to choose between Oondar or herself. Side with Geeda and ask about opening trade routes. She will tell you that she can trade with Dantooine and Onderon if you resolve the situiations on them.
Complete Dantooine then talk to her about opening trade routes then about Dantooine. She will have more items to sell, including a Silver Lightsaber.
Hint: Pimp The Handmaiden (Infinite Credits)
You can do this glitch only on the Ebon Hawk and if you have access with Hand Maiden.
1: Spar with Handmaiden.
2: Finish and put some clothes on your character.
3: Talk to Handmaiden and choose the dialogue "Do you think you could put some clothes on?". Reply with "I disagree."
4: Exit the conversation and take her robe off. (You can switch between any characters in the menu with BLACK).
5: Repeat until bored, then sell each robe for 2200 credits.
Addition
I was using the 'Pimp the Handmaiden' exploit wherein you ask her to put on some clothes, disagree, and exit; take off the Jedi robes and I found some kind of overflow error.
I had not "leveled-up" the handmaiden or equipped any sort of weapon, armor, accessories on her. I had acquired 10-15 sets of the "Handmaiden robes". I had left her with no robes on. I went to the workbench on Ebon Hawk. No glitch found. I got another 10-15 robes, again using the "pimp-the-handmaiden cheat". I went back to Telos, to the vendor in the entertainment module where I had completed the "smugglers sidequests". I then attempted to sell the "handmaiden robes" & found to my surprise I had, in my inventory, 3-5 sets of 99 Handmaiden Robes. They sold for 2,600 each. I sold all but one set. I walked ten feet to the workbench in the same room. I selected the "create/breakdown items" and also found I had sets of 99 handmaiden robes (I had one full set of 99 left). I broke them down for 120 components each. I left one set of one handmaiden robes in my inventory.
Current Position: I spent about an hour or so going back to the Ebon Hawk (now on Telos) and repeating (each time getting like 10-15 handmaiden robes). This cheat has worked repeatedly. I have sold the vendor over 1000 of these robes and another 99 in his regular inventory. I have broken down 300+ robes at the workbench. I now have over 3 MILLION credits and many thousands of components. This took about 5 or 6 trips with 10-15 handmaiden robes. I am playing a Counselor, level 12, just finished Telos, haven't gone anywhere else, trained with the Handmaiden once (kicked her butt). Beat all the Handmaidens in the Hidden Jedi Academy on Telos. Started out darkside, switched to lightside (so I change change Bao-Dur, et al., to Jedis, am planning switch back to darkside because I'm a counsular-duh.)
Although I have not tried other vendors, it did not work on the workbench in the Ebon Hawk. I have not tried in other play throughs. The cool thing is I have all the credits and components to buy or make whatever I want throughout the rest of the game.

Hint Budget Premium Items
On Telos, after you acquire the 'modified hold out blaster' Take it to the TSF who agreed to help find the source of black market goods. Go to the shop, show the blaster to Samhan he will then tell you he is the source. Double cross him and get him put into jail.
After you finish talking to the TSF captain you must talk to Samhan in the the Force Cage and then speak immediately to Samhan's brother. Ask to see his inventory then exit. Save a game (just in case) and then talk to the brother again. The brother talks to Samhan if you did the quest correctly.
Now when you speak to Samhan's brother and shop, his inventory will have changed dramatically, with items such as the charric, tech specialist belt, Zabrak heavy blaster, Sith tremor sword etc etc. All items are a lot cheaper and have better prices for anything you want to sell. (If there's nothing you want, reload the save you just made as the inventory items are random).
Hint: More Infinite Experience
Here's a way to score infinite experience points. Head to Dantooine and enter the Kinrath Nest. Defeat Kinrath and its hatchlings, but don't advance to find Master Vrook. Instead, press start and switch characters, and then begin to walk back towards the entrance. When you do this, hatchlings will materialize and attack. Kill them, and then repeat the process over and over again for infinite experience.
Hint: Heal And Attack In The Same Round
In order to do this, the character must be using one of the force cure powers, first, in combat, use the force heal power. Then, quickly switch over to your combat options (Simply press the white button and pause it if your not quick enough) be ready, because when the animation for the force heal starts, you want to choose one of your combat options. This will make it look as if you have two actions cued up, two instances of the combat option you chose.
This is good, as the second choice will change into your force heal. Continue to choose the combat option as your force heal animation comes up and your character will continuously use an attack option and heal themselves in the same round. I used Master Heal and Flurry with this, and it took me through the last several planets of the game. It's ideal for the more difficult encounters.
When you take the path of the male dark Jedi, you can gain influence with Hanharr, the wookie, until you are able to ask him why he follows you. When you have enough influence, respond with the following:
"Why do you follow me?"
"Does that mean you serve me?"
"What is this debt that you speak of?"
After this, always choose the first choice. If you have enough influence, the scene will tell you influence: failure one time, then it'll say influence:success after that. Doing this will give Hanharr +2 Strength and -2 Intelligence. Each time you do this, you'll get dark side points and 1000 experience.
Here's where the best part is. If you get his intelligence to 0 and do it again, you'll go up to 253 intelligence! Caution: If you do this too much you will get his strength too high then the game won't save properly. If it saves, the glitch is fine.
Hint: Persuade Atton To Become Jedi
You must have a high influence over Atton for this to work (Ed - Well, duh.)
When playing through as a good Jedi, go to Nar Shadda as your third or fourth world (it may or may not work earlier). DO NOT take Atton with you. Go to the refugee area and explore it thoroughly; a couple of Twi'leks will come up to you and tell you something about Atton's past.
Return to the Ebon Hawk, and talk to Atton. Play nice, get his side of the story, and eventually you'll get the option of offering to teach him to use the Force. He may or may not take you up on it the first time, but with enough persistence and influence you'll get him to agree to be taught.
Voila! One more Jedi Sentinel to add to your collection, as well as the dubious pleasure of seeing Atton in Jedi robes.
Hint: Sith Academy Matriculation Answers
First get the datapad from the corpse that tells you to enter "New Recruit" into the computer, then head down the hallway until you find a computer in one of the rooms off the areas off the main hallway. From there take the level 1 test by accessing the computer and enter 3401726-B853S5O0X001. The answers are as follows:
1. Freedon Nadd
2. Twenty
3. Gizka
4. I always lie
5. passion - strength - power - victory
Are you tired of carrying around OLD and UNNEEDED Datapads? Simply go to a Workbench, and break them down to get 1 Component(s). You don't get a lot of Components, but it is a way to get rid of unwanted Datapads. Only breakdown Datapads from missions that you have completed, or even better, Datapads from Peragus. Peragus Datapads are just one example. Another example is after you goto Nar Shadda, Dantooine, Telos (the first time), Dxun/Onderon, and Korriban. Once you goto Telos/Citadel Station for the Second time, you can use the Workbench at the 'merchant area' in the Entertainment Module, to get rid of any unwanted/unneeded Datapads.
Hint: Free The Nadd's Tomb
In Freedon Nadd's tomb there are two rooms containing boxes which may only be opened by a computer terminal. The first box gives you the choices of A) feb, B) dce, C) eba, D) fac, E) fdc, F) acd. The terminal asks you to choose which of these has an error and the correct choice is "C".
The second box the computer terminal gives you an equation to solve (6_2)_8_9_1=13. The answer to this question is (6*2)-8+9*1=13. If you remember your order of operations from grade school, this should be easy!
Hint: Fastest Method To Assemble Lightsaber
As soon as you leave Telos travel to Nar Shaddaa. Once there proceed into the central area and find the zoning door to the Docks. Halfway across the Docks will be a door that leads to the Flophouse. Go to the end of the hallway of this flophouse and the second to last door has a guy named Lootra. Taunt him into attacking. Also note that any characters you can have in your party at this point will lose influence with you if they are with you when you kill him, so go alone. His corpse will have a lightsaber part, there is a quest that as a reward he gives this part to you but the dark side gain is minimal even for lightside characters.
Next if your alignment bar is about 25% good or bad you can return to the Ebon Hawk for a special fight which will get you the last lightsaber part. If you are not 25% good or bad there are tons of things to do in Nar Shaddaa to get the last of the points you need.(If you do not have a colored lightsaber crystal the merchant Geeda will h ave one you can buy so don't scare her away) Now talk to Bao-Dur to have your saber made.
After you have finished Korriban talk to Disciple while your inside the Ebon Hawk. He will explain his history about how he once was able to use the Force, but he lost the ability when he was younger. Then tell him that he maybe able to return that power. If Your influence is strong enough he will trust you and you will train him. Disciple will then become a Jedi Counsular.
Hint: Beating Master Vrook
If you go dark side you will have to face Master Vrook in a one on one duel. Master Vrook is one tough customer. After several attempts I found the way to beat him is to have the force focus power active (the little purple sphere). And keep hitting him with Force lightnings. Once you get him low enough, Kreia will interrupt and give you a new Force form. It looks like another purple sphere, but it absorbs the Force from the opponent. When you continue, Vrook will try to heal himself (you probably should too).
Make sure the new ability is active and use Plague on him. With it's 100% chance of hitting it's really the only thing that works. But every time you get him with that he will try to heal the poison. Keep alternating Plage and Force lightning. He will run out of Force and start attacking you again. Just keep nailing him with Force lightning, and when he has only a quarter of his strength left he will colapse, and you've won.
Hint: Revive Dead Party Members
If one or both of your teammates is killed in a battle, get your own character to a safe distance out of battle and have them use an item that does not bring anything up on the screen.
For example: a speeder that is lying out in the open, or a door that won't open. After you use it your partner(s) will stand up and continue attacking. However, when they get back up their health will be extremely low.
