What should I focus on, melee combat or force powers? And how does Sneak Attack work?
It's strange that the manual mentiones none of these.

It's an RPG, so your supposed to make the game to your likes.
It depends on what you want to do with your sentinel. What is it's wisdom going to be? Strength?
As for the second, it explains how it works in the feat description, I believe.

Niether are better than the other.
It really depends what you're good at, what you think is more you. As Hill said.
I have NO idea what Sneak attack does as I do not think I have been a Watchman before... So, I actually wonder this as well.

I believe sneak attack gives you bonus damage when attacking an enemy from behind.
You enemy facing Ally Facing
---> ----> <----
In the above example, the enemy is attacking a NPC. You attack from behind & gain a damage bonus.

It also applies in the following situations:
-Character (PC or Atton in KotOR 2) is in stealth mode when attack is initiated
-Opponent is:
*stunned
*affected by stasis
*affected by horror etc
*affected by whirlwind
*Otherwise incapacitated
Reccomended force powers - powers mentioned above
Feats - Power attack can stun
Items - Bondar Crystal stuns

So, when someone uses this Sneak Attack when they hit an enemy from behind they will NOT turn?

sneak attack gives extra damage from your first hit when coming out of stealth mode, but only the first.
i think the damage increases as you level up but can't check this as my xbox is broke.
it is a very affective feat which i usually use on malachor V; you can normally take down a sith lord with one master flurry and that's it!
