As it says.

After Dantooine I went to Kashyyyk but I was wondering if there was an optimal order (also I have the PC version with Yavin, so wondering when to tackle that).
On the other hand I've not managed to make Mission's brother quest trigger even though I know where he's supposed to be. Not sure if I missed something somewhere else though.

[GeN1e]

I did Tatooine, Manaan, Kashyyk, Korriban. Korriban is better to be left for the last, other are manageble in any order i think.

I usually do Tatooine, Korriban, Yavin, Kashyyk, Manaan. Switching between Korriban and Kashyyk if I want to get Jolee earlier. Spoiler regarding Korriban:

If you play Light Side, in Korriban you have the option to redeem a few characters, who then go to the academy in Dantooine. You can return there and talk to them, even if they don't say much. Since the academy is later blown up, you have to do Korriban first or second if you wanna see them.

As to Mission's quest, you have to travel between planets a bit before getting some of her talks which trigger her brother's quest. I always do Tatooine first and he's never in his cell the first time I go to the sand people's camp.

K1: Tatooine, Kashyyk, Manaan, Korriban, Yavin Station.

[Choo Choo]

I do it in the same order as Jarno.

Spoiler regarding Korriban

OTOH if Korriban is done the last then there are some cool dialogue options avaliable there.

I just played KotOR 1 for the first time last week, and I did it in the order: Tatooine, Kashyyk, Korriban and then Manaan. I'm told that Tatooine and Kashyyk are the "easy" planets, and that Korriban and Manaan are the "hard" planets (think I read that on Game Banshee). I kinda forgot to go to Yavin, oops!
As for Mission's side quest (caution, spoilers, kinda, I guess):

Spoiler

the quest was triggered as soon as we landed on Dantooine, we ran into Leena, and then Griff was in his cell on Tatooine when we got there,

didn't have a problem with it, myself.
I, myself, wasn't in too much of a hurry to get to Korriban, because

I was waiting for Carth's side-quest to trigger, since I was romancing him, and wanted to make sure everything went smoothly.

I got her quest to trigger in the end though I had to fart about and reload a few times (I forgot to save the first time I met Lena and then got blown up in a space battle between Dantooine and Tatooine, grrr!).

[SConrad]

I normally go to Manaan or Tatooine, followed by Kashyyk and Korriban last. The Yavin space station whenver I can, really.

[Gabrielle]

Tatooine, Kashyyk, Manaan, Korriban. I will go to Korriban and get Carth's son whenever Carth has that meeting with his friend. But I won't finish the rest of the Korriban quests until last.

[Bluenose]

I always leave Manaan for last, and I don't go to Korriban until Carth gets his visitor. Tatooine first, I suppose, because I pick up quite a lot of cash hunting Wraid on the dunes and swoop racing.

[Bardess]

Korriban is my favorite, so I tend to go there early - I don't remember how I manage Carth's quest, though I do remember killing his stupid son once. (I played KotOR1 through to the end at least 5 times one summer. Yes, I had nothing better to do.) I also leave Manaan for last, I don't like the planet and I am freaked out by those sharks! On my first run through, I think I went to Kashyyk first, Korriban and Tatooine second and third, and Manaan last.

[Tempest]

For me, it's almost always as follows:

-Yavin (Get the ball rolling on the Yavin subplot)
-Tatooine (only if romancing Bastila)
- Kashyyyk (if not)
- Dantooine (usually have enough cash by now for the CNS Enhancer belt-very useful item)
- Tatooine/Kashyyyk (whichever I didn't do first)
- Manaan
- Yavin (Second stage of the Yavin subplot)
- Korriban
- Yavin (Finish the Yavin subplot, spend all my money on the uber items)

Speaking of Yavin, for those who don't know, you can get some extremely powerful items (including special super-crystals for the lightsaber that put the other crystals on premium grade crack) if you finish the Yavin subplot, which requires visiting Yavin before finishing your third world, visiting after your third world, and making a final visit before going to the Star Forge system. Warning: the battle when finishing the subplot is pretty tough.

If I remember correctly, one is able to actually get to buy the items(the uber colors ) from the man even if you go there only after the last planet, you just have to growl back and forth a few times to the Hawk, as it will make the stations plot go on... but eventually you'll get to buy the real stuff you went there to buy.

[Gabrielle]

If I am playing DS, I'll go back to Tatoonie and make threatening gestures to those people in the swoop place and the bar. Lots of DS points can be had on Tatoonie. Then its off to the Star Forge.

[Orthodoxia]

For KotOR 1: Tatooine, Kashyyk, Manaan, Korriban. I so love knowing I'm Revan and being on Korriban, it makes for interesting roleplay.

[Klorox]

Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Manaan, Korriban.

IMHO, this is the best way to do the planets for a few different reasons.

1) This way goes from easiest to hardest.
2) This way gets you Jolee right away (he's my favorite NPC).
3) This way gets you the Circlet of Saresh.
