2) Prestige classes are stand alone levels. This seems to be more a balance issue for Jedi/Sith, as there do not seem to be alot of Prestige classes for non Jedi.

I don't see how you come to that conclusion.

The Jedi Prestige Classes: Jedi Ace, Jedi Investigator, Jedi Master, Jedi Healer, Jedi Instructor, Jedi Scholar, Jedi Weapon Master, Jedi Artisan, Jedi Watchman. Thats's 9 PrC's.

Non Jedi Prestige Classes: Starship Ace, Bounty Hunter, Crime Lord, Dark Side Devotee, Dark Side Marauder, Elite Trooper, Officer, Force Warrior, Noghri Bodyguard, Senate Guard, Dark Side Assassin, Emperor's Hand, Dark Force Witch, Imperial Inquisitor, Sith Acolyte, Sith Lord, Sith Warrior, Seyugi Dervish, Deep Space Pilot, Master Gunner, Naval Officer, First Contact Specialist, Aerobat, Beastwarden, Big Game Hunter, Bodyguard, Changeling, Findsman, Mystic Agent, Telepath, Privateer, Vehicle Ace, Sector Ranger, Jensaarai Defender, Chief Engineer, Infiltrator, Loyal Protector, Martial Arts Master, Master Duelist, Outlaw Slicer, Priest, Sharpshooter, Treasure Hunter, Antarian Ranger, Black Sun Enforcer, Black Sun Vigo, Bothan Master Spy, CorSec Officer, Corporate Troubleshooter, ISB Special Agent, Crime Broker, Mystryl Shadow Guard, Lord of the Expanse, Rebel Organizer, Sienar Engineer, Baran Do Sage, Matukai Adept, Zeison Sha Warrior, Espionage Droid, Berserker Droid, Holovid Star, Spirit Master, Corporate Viceprex, Imperial Moff, Shadow Wing Captain, White Current Adept. That's 65 PrC's.

Out of the 74 Official prestige classes produced so far for the d20 Star Wars RPG, only 9 were for Jedi, only 12%. I keep a big master index of every class (with sources) for d20 Star Wars for reference when I run it. :)
