I'll start with my favourite line of dialogue in the game. While pretty much all of HK-47's lines are brilliant, my all-time favourite is actually one of the PC responses. When Carth teases Bastila about losing her lightsaber after the crash on Taris, you can respond: "Maybe losing lightsabers is a side effect of her Battle Meditation."
Feel free to continue...

Story structure is one of the most interesting parts. I love the fact that they manage to seamlessly blend location based encounters with time based encounters. And unless you take the time to compare your game to a friends it's really difficult to tell which is which.
Alright let's see your character toplists. I posted mine in a hijacked thread but here goes again:
1. Mission Vao, coolest Twi'lek rogue in the galaxy!
2. HK-47 'nuff said!
3. Bastila Shan, one of the best written characters, greatest Jedi!
4. Canderous Ordo, simply for being a bad-ass Mandalorian!

1. HK-47. Needs no explanation.
2. Bastila Shan. Wow, a character with an English accent who isn't evil! Seriously, though, she's an interesting and well-developed character as well.
3. Jolee Bindoo. His irreverent attitude makes a refreshing change from the rather stuffy, formal speech of the other Jedi.
4. Juhani. Awww, she's so sweet! I kept wanting to pat her on the head and say "there, there, little one."

Name: Veronica
Sex: Female
Class: Soldier/Consular
Weapon of Choice: Red, double bladed light sabre
Force Power of Choice: Death, Lightining, Statsis
Favorite Character
First Place: HK-47 - Nuff said
Second Place: Balistia- She fell to the darkside with me. And heck, have you seen her with no clothes/armor on?
Most hated Character
First, Second, Third, and Fourth Place : Carth- My only regret in the game was not killing him. He ran away like a little bitch while Zalabaar and Mission stayed back and fought. I killed them of course.
Favorite Race
The Rakatan (sp?) They were the best race in the game, if not the SW universe. They had a terrific look to them- very old and savage. The rise and fall of their great empire was good side story. It was one of the few dialogue moments that I did not skip through. We probably won't see much more of them again Their homeworld was very Robinson Crusoe, I loved it. The idea of space ships accidentally coming to close the to Star Forge and then crashing down to the surface of the planet was awesome. The crew would be eaten by the Rakatan and the ships would be scrapped. What a life style, certainly a far cry from the once great empire that stretched over the entire galaxy.
Thing I never Understood
What was the point of Yavin?

My least favourite character was T3-M4. I think he was meant to be similar to R2-D2, but unlike Artoo he had absolutely no personality whatsoever. Zaalbar came a close second - almost nothing to say for himself.

As for my favorite characters Jolee Bindo takes first place easily just because he was kinda funny and certainly not just a copy of Obi Wan from the OT.
Second place goes to Mission's brother just cuz he was funny.
And third has to go to Canderous just for general bad assedness
As for the ones I didn't like I couldn't stand the little droid and I really hated the stubby little bounty hunter.
Zalbaar wasn't very personable but he had a sweet side quest and although I got to dislike Carth in the early moments of the game he proved to be a cool guy when more of his history came out.
Runner up for my favorite character would be Yuthura who had a really bad-ass backstory if you played like that.

I know exactly what you mean. There were many moments of Star Wars magic in the game. And the fact that these came from storytelling and atmosphere certainly credits the creators. This is what will be critical for KOTOR 2. I just hope they get it right. Very few previews so far though. I've actually only seen one new character you can play, the "easy-on-the-eyes" female bounty hunter with wrist blaster. Give me HK and Mission!!

Yeah, that's probably my second favourite line.

Fav is obviously HK-47. Mission was good, but I never had her with me because she wasn't very useful(I'm more the fighter type). I didn't think much of Juhani, and I hated Zabaar(as I hate all wookies).
Oh, and Jordan, it is possible to kill Carth

If you keep going to Yavin after each planet (Dantooine included), talk to the guy / ask him all the question /be good pals and all, the 4th time you go there (doesn't matter if you go 4 times at once. You must complete a planet inbetween the visits), well: the 4th time you go there you'll be helping the guy with some 'problems'. As a result he's more than willing to sell you (for 50.000 credits !!) two crystals(hmm. forgot the names).
They make an amber/orange and blueish color on the light sabers... looks kinda gay, but the bonuses are quite enough for me to give up on my red lightsabers.
Ok, I got a little technical.. but you asked...

funniest moment...
when the guy refused to come out of the locker... i kept threatening him, and in the end hit the agressive option one too many times and ran him through with my lightsabre... just put it right through the locker door.
