play a D&D game. then tell me bane wouldent kick a jedi's arse.ehal256 said:
(and i ment irenicus if you diddent stop him. but that doesnt count so foget i said it at all, i just keep triping over my own mouth in this thread so i think i'm goint to stop here)
I was thinking that force healing might be able to repair the damage that caused the cell's division to fail. then again, maybe that's too powerful. but technically, a jedi with enough power can make changes to matter at the molecular level, but that's not really fair, and it would never have happened in that magnitude anyways.ComradeJim270 said:Midiwhatzamahuh? Most people who have even a passing interest in Star Wars like to ignore that crap. Also, Han shot first, and last. But the cell division thing is the reason Force Heal would not be likely to work. Stimulating cell division would fail, because the cells would not be able to divide properly. Of course, this would be a non-issue if they don't survive the THERMAL radiation... then they're just ash.ehal256 said:According to Pharsyde's neutral jedi, very very few could take him out.
A couple examples people have said.
1) Aliens (from the Alien series, obviously): 1 on 1 no, powerful jedi masters (Kyle Katarn for example) can use an ability called Force Protection,its pretty much a shield of force energy, to block particles (such as bullets, and blaster bolts), while in combat, so alien acid blood would not kill the jedi. Lightsabers also instantly cauterize wounds that they cause, so no acid spray would be likely to occur.
2)A shotgun: as I explained earlier, force protection would block all incoming particles, if some got through somehow, the jedi could push them back with the force, and block the rest with his/her lightsaber(s).
3)Hunting Rifle: Precognition enough to dodge sniper rifle has been shown in games such as Jedi Knight 2, so no.
4)Anything immune to electricity: a lightsaber is not a jedi master's only weapon, here's a rudimentary list of possible force attacks a master could use, telekinesis based attacks, electric based attacks, pure matter destruction based attacks (Force Destruction, if anyone was wondering), and if powerful enough, direct control of molecules themselves (no jedi has become powerful enough to do any more than create a tiny bit of light afaik).
5)Lethal Radiation Poisoning: I'm not sure about this one, Force Protection could possibly stop it, if not Force Heal could probably repair any damage done, it works at the molecular level with midichlorians, it artificially stimulates cell division wth the energy of the force... if not we have a winnerbut this was about a 1v1
very few characters could take on a jedi 1v1.
Pharsyde's suggestions are all possible though, and Dr. Who (I guess, but it is kinda lame)
I just think the MI are fun to bring up in threads like this. My brother once came across a Samus vs. Master Chief thread, then turned to me and asked about Starship Troopers. I told him they have jump jets, about 2000 lbs. of armor, and nukes, he posted that, and everyone in the thread responded, more or less, with "Well, shit."
If it even was still going towards them because they decided to not move, they would then be able to force stop and redirect it. I can imagine that a super battle droid would weight much more than a rocket (making up for the difference in velocity) and the masters were able to throw them around like ragdolls. So, no, a rocket couldn't stop a master or even probably any Jedi that had slightly significant force powers.
couldent stop myself.
Replicators
apart from the humanoids there all one person, so it can be millons and still be one on one.
in less than 30 min they can make a army.
you have to distroy them compleaty and all at once.
numbers subdue all. even a jedi cant fight a army of robotic super-nanites.
they arn't droids and don't get broken after a 3cm fall
if you dont watch stargate(shame on you!) google it

Is that enough?
Oh, shit, I just remembered. Anyone seen Lexx? The Lexx is a single being, so it would still be 1 vs. 1. Jedi loses so long as Lexx's captain is around to allow it to fire at... whatever the Jedi is standing on. You could argue that it makes it 2 vs. 1, but one of those two could literally be retarded, so I think it's still not that big a deal, right? Especially with some of the crazy things which people in this thread have pulled from any crappy Star Wars comic/anime/book they can find.
For those who don't know, Lexx is a living spacecraft from a Canadian/German-produced mini-series which eventually spun off into a full-blown TV series on the Sci-fi channel. It's the size of Manhattan and it blows up planets, but it can't use its weapon without its captain telling it to do so (in the show, its captain was an amoral, dim-witted, cowardly bastard... clearly, the minimum requirements for that position are less than demanding). Damn, I miss that show. I have the original mini-series somewhere.
EDIT: Oh, and the Mantrid drones from the early part of the series would also work. One makes another, which makes another... they make some more... not a duel anymore. Too bad the entire universe would be destroyed, too.

i think we can stop now. unless sombody can tell us how a Jedi can stop any of the things metioned here
An excellent examination of the Jedi. I couldn't have said any better.clockpenalty said:In Episode III the Jedi were suffering a blanket blockout of the senses due to Sidious' galaxy-eating power. Nonetheless, remember obi and Ani detecting the mechanical danger to Padme in AOTC? They WILL detect it, even if it is a droid. Its like spiderman's spidey sense- magic power lacking any real biological explanation.
It is canon that you can't just pull a gun on a jedi and kill him. If his reflexes are dull or he doesnt eact in time,you could get him, but ideally the force would prevent such a situation from arising in the first place.
The truth is, the way the force is explained in the movies and novels, it is a plot device that can be used to explain any deus-ex-machina solution a writer can dream of to a Jedi's problems. I suspect the whole idea of Jedi's senses being dulled in the prequels was GL's way of escaping the plot holes that would surface in any story that involved Jedi getting fooled en-masse, aand/or killed by mere stormtroopers.
Minus the overreaching influence of the dark side, the Jedi would be near invincible due to perfect knowledge. Its like playing an FPS aganst a guy using a wallhack and an aimbot- an invisible force that lets him cheat his way to victory. The Jedi were easily fooled by sidious simply because they were overdependent on their senses, so once taken away from them, they stumbled around like a person recently blinded.
Its also worth mentioning that most of the incompetent Jedi were just that- incompetent. Even in the anime, there are many jedi that just get clobbered to death like idiots. The Jedi order *had* grown fat, lazy and weak due to years of prosperity and overconfidence.
Jedi vs mobile infantry? Since we are in novel-land here, I'll have you know that via battle meditation, a Jedi can control an army of millions, spanning an entire planet. This was possible even during the clone wars with underpowered Jedi.
If you want to face movie Jedi, you have to use mobile infantry from the starship troopers movie, and the outcome of that is pretty much cut-and-dry.
EDIT: death from radiation poisoning? Novel Jedi are pretty powerful with the good ol' force heal
kratos, the prince(prince of persia), the elrics(fullmetal alchamist), i doubt master cheif could do it all he has is guns and those seem fairly useless against jedi plus i've whooped the master cheif's ass with bayman hundreds of times in DOA, so hayabusa and hayate probably could i mean ninja magic trumps jedi force. besides hayate is a super soldier there isn't many people who's shit he couldn't wreck.
in short, i think alot of guys could beat a jedi, superman, batman, most superheros have the speed and strength to take them out. plus the only things i've really seen jedi's do is use their lihtsabers or else lighting and push, i should say i'm not a fan of star wars, never have been, and the three new movies amazed me, it's like people convinced themselves that just because one of them was shitty no way could the next one be shitty, then it was, but they refused to beleive it, so they saw the next one even though it was just as shitty, then they told themselves the last one had to be good, and it's just as shitty, what a surprise, i gotta admit, for taking the concept of a samurai, mutating it with ninjas and monks and sprinkling on a little magic, george lucas is making a pissload of money off a concept that's not that original. how many games have had spellswords? nothing special about jedis, there i said it, now all the star wars fanboys can flame me all to hell.

Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist. Can the ability to make stuff explode by snapping your fingers really be defeated (apart from enclosed spaces)?
