Pfft, Ragnos wasn't able to project his psychic "essence" across the galaxy? Especially considering that the Emperor at this point was a "corpse-seer" as the Elder put it.
Ragnos would be crushed by the sheer power of the Emperor's psychic powers, Marka is out of the Emperor's league.

Marka on his death bed was feared by men who controlled stars with a mere wave of their hands. That's a lot harder than projecting a pyschic essense across the galaxy. Anakin projected his essense when he died too, yet Marka would waste Anakin(solo).
I don't think you quite grasp the enormity of the Emperor's powers. Directing trillions of ships through space is not an easy feat, nor is it easy when the said person is partially dead.

This is ****ing sad, really. Glentract, I want you to go to a hall in your house and wave a broom stick around with three other people while defending against a repeating blaster rifle (Which is a LOT faster and more powerful than the carbines and rifles used by the Clone Troopers).Not feasible.
The Clones didn't use much in the way of repeating blaster rifles in AOTC, but in ROTS and CWC they do.

Read above. Not the same. Clone Troops had carbines. A Repeating blaster rifle is sick. Go play KOTOR I or II and equip Canderous with it. It puts out five to six rounds in under a second. Multiply that times fifty.
The Clones did infact use repeaters.

His form wasn't designed for defence though. There were others that were more focused on reflecting blaster bolts.

Excellent point and one I hadn't considered. Unfortunately, if the HK droids utilize cloaking devices this is nullifed.
I read somewhere(don't remember where) that cloaking devices became obsolete after a time because sensors were made that could detect them. A new cloaking device was invented until the Empire.

I know I'm adding a lot of variables, but I'm trying to make for good speculation. If HK droids are attacking a jedi installation, IF they can disrupt transmissions this won't help. If they can't, this is another good point. Hopefully every jedi has their commlinks turned on and can hear over the explosions.
The Jedi seem smart enough to turn them on once they realize they are under attack(which will happen immediatly when someone like the Emperor comes knocking at their door.

Second, battle meditation has one problem against droids: it can't sap their will. And there's the possibility that the Emperor can disrupt it.
It can still cordinate attacks by Jedi though. Until it is proved that the Emperor can disrupt it, which I see no reason for, it would be illogical to assume that he could.

Really starting to hate these Dark Nest books going back and altering PT events.Anyways, proof of PT jedi using this?
I don't see how they alter anything.
Each of the Master-Padawans had it. I don't know if it was used by PT Jedi, but Jacen re-invented it, so Jedi did know it at one time.

ndeed, and also easily countered.
HK have outdated jammers. Seems unlikey they could jam top of the line jammers that were made four thousand years after the HK.

I'd love to see them try and sprint past mines that are lined up all over the entrace. It effectively seals them in in that case. Repeating fire combined with mines could keep jedi trapped on ground levels while one errant HK plants explosives.More Post-ROTJ info. Anything for PT? Anyways, like I said, cover fire.
I thought that might not be accurate. In any case, there are ways around a lightsaber.
What are these ways to get around a lightsaber? Also, if the entrance is completly mined, the HK can attack them.

PLEASE NOTE that my premises are based around a cohesive battle plan on the behalf of the HK. If no such thing exists (If instead it is a mindless charge) the HK will be slaughtered.
I agree that the HK will be slaughtered.

Eh, a single Hk-50 droid (lesser model by all standards) effectively hacked an entire mining installation and killed everyone on board without firing a single shot.
That was a special situation. Are there any of the same things present in the Temple? Also, remember that the miners were fighting eachother over what to do about the Jedi and that the HK droid wasn't alone(as can be seen in the cut seen before entering the tunnel.

The Jedi are more so.
Hk's should take this especially with the emperor coordinating them, the hk's are masters at assasination, they wouldn't necessarily go for a front assault as much as merrely rig the temple with mines and then pick the off from long range and laugh as they get blown to pieces when they try and rush them, jedi can't block what they don't know is coming which is shown by the death of that twi'liek jedi in episode 3, mines, skin contact poisons, sonic weaponry, the Hk's simply know too well how to make a jedi's lightsaber practically useless, now throw in grenades to the mix as well as missles and wrist mounted weaponry and we have a very very tough battle for the jedi, those that don't get poisoned, or sniped, or blown to pieces won't be in very good shape, certainly not good enough strength to stand up to palpatine, the Hk's have perfected jedi killing they'd always be one step ahead it would be a massacre.
