As I think about it now, Jedi versus any kind of explosive projectile equals a dead jedi. Their response to projectile attacks is to deflect it with the lightsaber, you can't deflect explosive. Especially if it was one of the military types that is programmed to explode just before it hits the target so he'd get his lightsaber up to block and it explodes before it gets there and showers him with deadly shrapnel.
I'm not a superfan of starwars, but wouldn't the jedi just catch said projectiles with the force? If you think about it, RPGs and rockets don't usually go as fast as bullets do, which is why I didn't mention them in my post above.
They would catch it with the force if they realized what it was. But since their traning seems to boil down into deflect lasers, push robots, and slash things. I doubt they would be ready to face their first explosive weapon. I'm pretty sure that if they caught it with the force that would register as an impact and the rpg would explode and I doubt they have enough control to stop all the shrapnel or be strong enough to contain the explosion.

Mostly I think their first reflex would be to just slash it, which would then cause it to explode and they would be shredded by hot shards of metal and doom.

Just came up with someone who is actually in a book that would take on Jedi no problem without even having to try. Of course that goes for anyone who tries to fight this character.

Jessica Sorrow aka The Unbeliever, from the Nightside novels. She subscribes to the whole "Reality is just a dream" nonsense, except for her it's real and when she unbelieves in something she wipes it out of existence. The physical world has no hold on her, so everything she touches rips like wet paper. She would own jedi like nobodie's buisness.


From the same books

Razor Eddie, punk god of the straight razor. He moves faster than the eye can track and his razor can split the fabric of space and time.

Suzie Shooter aka Shotgun Suzie aka Oh Christ it's her!. (The future edition) The future version of Shotgun suzie has the Speaking Gun grafted onto her left arm which has the power to uncreate anything caught in it's blast. Let's see a Jedi block that with a lightsaber.

After playing the Force Unleashed demo I have to argue that if you want to take down a Jedi you better be packing some serious fire power. I'm not that deep into the Star Wars series in terms of the expanded universe and such, but if the secret apprentice is any indication then there's barely anyone out there who really stands a chance.

Only person who stands a chance and comes straight off the top of my head is Dante and/or Nero. Assuming their swords won't be instantly cut in half when hit with a lightsaber, it should turn out to be a pretty good fight.

Well, I was playing Soul Calibur 4 and I stomped Yoda with Asteroth

So I'm willing to bet they can be beaten.

But in the star wars expanded universe, it's very difficult to kill one. You'd more then likely have to outsmart it in some way, or distract it, both of which are very difficult

In knuckle to knuckle fighting, there isn't much that can withstand a lightsaber strike, especially in the Empire Era.

I'm going to have to say yes, but it would most definately take some trickery, and good trickery at that.

Let's address the poll itself within the Star Wars universe...

Jedi Master on Alderan... Death Star fires... Jedi Master evidently is not able to shoot the beam back at the Death Star... Death Star 1 Jedi Master 0. Answer to poll: yes.

Jedi vs AA-12 automatic shotgun.

Result: AA-12 needs a new magazine, jedi needs a new torso, circulatory system and blood.

Jedi vs microsoft.

Result: jedi is left defenceless after killing thousands of microsoft employees who eventually cause his lightsaber to have a BSOD. After realising this, he attempts to defend himself with the force, but starves to death after microsoft employees brick up the building he was in with obsolete Xbox consoles.

Jedi vs US navy test railgun.

Result: This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1q_rRicAwI] video is explanation enough.

Jedi vs every Gmod player on earth (NOTE: this takes place inside Gmod).

Result: Jedi spawns in GM_construct. he is immediately mingecaged (gmod in-game term. to be mingecaged means to be trapped inside a simple, indestructible cage).

Jedi vs bloodsucker.

Result: Jedi does not realise he is being attacked until he hears the sound of the bloodsucker's breathing. Thinking that he can defeat it, he draws his lightsaber, and prepares for combat. seconds later, he is sprinting away and wishing that he had checked behind him.

Jedi vs himself.

Result: either way, he dies.

Jedi vs huge vat of thermite.

Result: the jedi, having been told to attack this huge vat of thermite, promptly slashes it with his lightsaber. he is incinerated seconds later, after his lightsaber ignites the thermite and melts the vat walls.

A very fine argument, BUT!
Ever heard of a thermal detonator?

Thermal detonators are minute in comparison to the power of any decent-sized rocket. This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm0azEG0CPY] is a good example.

Personally, I think all but two Jedi have the ability to lose.

The first is Revan. He is revan, he cannot lose. Revan is basically as bad ass as they get. He is so bad ass that nobody even knows if or how he died.

Exile, from KoToR2. Any person she kills that has anything like force power, she absorbs. If she went on long enough, she could literally end the force.

They could kill each other though. Revan has sheer undeniable force power, and Exile is hardly effected by said force power. Based on Lightsaber combat skills though, Revan all the way.

Btw, did I mention I have a gay attraction to Revan even though I am a complete heterosexual male?

well if you shoot an rpg or throw a grenade they would stop it with their force without considering like an impact , think about it as if the force grabs the rpg projectile by the tail and slows it down to a complete halt , and about napalm and explosives , if the have so much force to lift an entire battleship(the way the apprentice from the force unleashed did) can't they just force the air around them with such speed that it acts like a shield?
I think you underestimate the force because it's not like the only moves you can do are the ones you've seen in the movies , think big my friends:D
