Aayla, by far. This thread is stupid.
Can Elites use the Force? No. Are they suspectible to the Force? Very likely.
And what would make you think that a plasma sword would be able to hold it's own against hyper focused light? A lightsaber might plain break through it.

Just like it would break through the Elites heads... Aayla crushes them.
There is a little thing called defence that might help the elites when they fight in melee, but they haven't figured that out yet. Until they do, don't make any more threads like this.

But how good at sword fighting are they? And they can be as strong or brutal as they want, that won't prevent them from getting sliced in half. They have no defence.
Do we actually know that the Elite's energy sword is a plasma based sword and do we actually know that a lightsaber can break through the energy sword when KoToR had swords that could withstand the lightsaber's force.

Uh, an elite is roughly strong or stronger than Master Chief. According to the Halo novelisation, MC can punch holes in concrete walls and move heavy vehicles.
You think a little Twilek girl jedi can withstand an onslaught of TWO of these beings? Not to mention they're pretty damn fast.
Elites are good, (hence their name) good enough to take out Aayla at least. And like the SW, don't base abilities like speed and strength off video-game movements.

Well thats all I have to base them off, sorry (I haven't read any of the Halo novels). Do Elites typically practice melee combat though? They seemed to me more like strong aliens with guns that when they get close enough they stab you with a sword, not duelists. They use it as a simple advantage when necessary, they don't perfect it like the Jedi do.
