Even more frustration.  Just venting, don't mind me.

On Tatoonine, there's a spot (near the Bantha herd) where you have to 
fight a group of Sand People.  My first thought was to lead them back 
toward the cave, because the map narrows at that point and I was hoping to 
get them into a close grouping so I could lob grenades at them.

So as soon as they popped up, I turned and sprinted toward the cave.  Got 
halfway there, turned to look back, and found that Bastila and Carth were 
wayyy back there getting chewed up by the Sand People.  Argh.

On my next attempt, I started near the cave, turned on solo mode, and 
sprinted for the Banthas alone.  The SP jumped up, I turned and ran toward 
the cave, got halfway there, and...  Wait, where are...?  Looked back, and 
somehow Bastila and Carth were again wayyy back by the SP getting chewed 
up.  Da fug?!?

I can kind of rationalize the NPCs being somewhat independent in combat, 
but magically teleporting past me so they can get slaughtered is a bit 
much.

Oh well, at least the storyline is interesting...
