Concerning the alignment shift from killing Freyyr, this link will be useful: http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic/Alignment.
Keep in mind that the Solari crystal requires an alignment higher than 61 to use. Here's a table showing the current route of actions up to this point, and how those actions have changed our alignment:
It's considered a High Dark action to kill Freyyr and since we're at moderate light alignment at that point, it becomes a -8 to our alignment. We need to recover 8 points to get back to moderately light side to use the solari crystal again. I think the best solution is actually to just use other weapons until we can use the double saber again. It takes 15 extra seconds to complete the droid head quest, and I haven't timed giving Grrrwahrr a medpac, since that involves additional fighting.
There are two LS actions we can do on Taris, keeping Zelka's secret (LL at 6s) and giving the beggars extra credits (LL at 8s), but simply adding these two will either reduce or result in no change in our overall alignment. Also, purchasing the wraid plate from Sharina Fizark would is a ML action. It would only give a +2 alignment shift, so it wouldn't save us from doing the droid head quest, even if we have the 700 credits to purchase it. Some additional credits could be picked off of the corpse in the first hallway of Hrakert Rift.
If we want to keep the double saber equipped at the end of Kashyyyk, then we should complete the droid head quest as well as sell the wraid plate, and keep everything else the same. This choice would probably cost about 30s. I think it would be better to completely ignore it, since there aren't many fights between the end of Kashyyyk and the fight with Bastila on Lehon. The only fight that we currently use the lightsaber for is against Bastila (the droids at the front of the temple can easily be fought with swords or ignored).
So these are my current thoughts on the matter. Sorry for the wall of text. I'll keep looking into improving the route by adding/removing other LS/DS actions along the way.
