Why a tip guide and not a step by step guide of how to. There is already the SWG WIKI which provides that information, along with other servers that copy and paste the exact same information. You can easily find such information by typing "swg exar kun" in a search engine like Google.
The following video was performed on SWG Evolve server, what you experience on SWG Evolve may be different then what you may experience on a generic new game enhancements (NGE) server.

Tip:
1. Before getting to the Imperial Star Destroyer you may decide to have everyone in group board your Luxury Yacht, instead of flying separately or in a combat ship. Flying in a Luxury Yacht keeps you safe from combat ships swarming around the Imperial Star Destroyer.
2. If you are having trouble getting your alts boarded onto your Luxury Yacht. Try instead of using Alt+Tab to switch between characters (this causes the ship invite window to close), use Ctrl+Esc to bring up the windows start menu and manually selecting the game window for your other characters.
Phase 1: Krix Swiftshadow & Grenadiers (Intro-3:27)
In this phase you will be dealing with Krix and Grenadiers. Once you start the phase by activating the terminal on the wall Krix will walk into the center of the room while on the ledge Grenadiers will walk out. First thing kill the Grenadiers and keep running, generally in a circular motion, there grenades cause snare and significant damage. Then focus on Krix Swiftshadow, he will start using a flaming attack, avoid remaining in the flames to long.
Tips: Phase 1
1. Bring ranged combat, melee struggles to hit the upper ledge.
2. During the combat with Krix, if you are melee you can lure him out of flames by running to one of the opposite edges of the room in order to avoid fighting in flames.
Phase 2: Hunt the Squad Leader (4:10-7:35)
In this phase after talking to the hologram of Cmdr. Kenkirk you need to kill a certain number of a Blackguard dark trooper before the Blackguard Squad Leader spawns. The Squad Leader can spawn all the way back in the hangar bay. You must kill the Squad Leader to unlock the door to proceed to the next phase.
Tips: Phase 2
1. Use the radar and overhead map to track when targets spawn in the hangar bay. If you have a pet you can draw aggro on them before they de-spawn, alternatively if the Squad Leader spawns use Power Assisted Spring or some other boost run to reach him before he de-spawns.
Phase 3: Tactical Room (7:45-10:50)
In this room there is a Blackguard dark trooper that spawn near the 3 entrances to the room, kill them to proceed to the next phase.
Tips: Phase 3
1. No tips other then kill them quickly to save time.
Phase 4: Captain Prat (11:35-14:16)
After chatting with the hologram of Cmdr. Kenkirk then you proceed down the hallway to the left. Grenadiers are here they are not as strong as Phase 1 grenadiers so don't be afraid. Proceed and kill WatchCaptain Prat.
Tips: Phase 4
1. No tips other then kill them quickly to save time.
Phase 5: Chief Olum and Blackguard Boarders in the Engine Room (14:23-19:13)
This phase begins with chatting with Chief Olum and following him back to the elevator lift. You then proceed to the Engine Room dealing with Blacksun Boarders, they spawn in sets and have alot of health and deal decent AoE damage. Once the Engine Room, located at the end, is cleared of Blackguard the proceed back to the elevator and the doorway where Cmdr. Kenkirk hologram was standing should be or will unlock.
Tips: Phase 5
1. You can skip killing everything, run to the Engine Room, kill the Blackguard in the Engine Room then run back, this saves alot of time. Note the door doesn't open right away after clearing the Engine Room but will shortly after arriving at the doorway to the next phase.
Phase 6: Cmdr. Kenkirk (19:17-21:06)
Finally get to kill Cmdr. Kenkirk and end the annoying hologram.
Tips: Phase 6
1. No tips other then kill him quickly to save time.
Phase 7: Grand Admiral Sait (21:08-End)
After taking the elevator at the end of Phase 6 you arrive at the bridge. The final boss Grand Admiral Sait, to reach him you can fight through the bridge crew to battle on the Bridge.
Tips: Phase 7
1. If you have a pet you can lure him back to the elevator and avoid dealing with the bridge crew. I did this in the video which saves some time, alternatively if you wanted to save time you could burst run to the boss and battle on the Bridge.
