Well to kill 20 mercs in seconds he must be damn fast, they would probably have a hard time hitting him. Besides, he could crack necks easily with a force grip, like he does in the black sun. And if he jumps very high and then behind them, I doubt they would get time to get far, especially aim at him at that height. And though their armor might take blaster bolts, no doubt that it will give them a good impact, maybe knock them to the ground.
Yes, he killed the Mercs quickly. Mercs that didn't all have blasters, but mostly that engaged him in close-quarters combat and din't have repeating dc-17 blasters (what Fordo has in the Microseries) as well as
DC-17 interchangeable weapon systems. Could he choke them with the Force, all at once? If not, while he's choking one of them, the other three will blast him into smitherines. And remember, they start spread out in random places within 100 miles of the densist part of Courscant.
A lightsaber will cut right through their armor, though.
That's why they wouldn't engage him in Close Quarters Combat, but keep their distance. But they are good at Close Quarters Combat, Darman, using only his fists, took out a teenage Jedi Padawan who was armed with a lightsaber quite easily and, again, the members of Delta Squad are stronger than Darman.
Regular clones!!! The Galactic Marines were ELITES!!! Maybe someone like Stass Alie got killed by regular clones, but certainly NOT Ki-Adi Mundi.
I have acknowledged this. But the otehr Clones who killed Jedi were regular Clones (plus one ARC Commander, though).
I would still believe Maul could eliminate at least one or two of them before the other two arrive to confront the Sith Lord.
That's just what you want to believe. Maul has no way of finding them amongst several million people. The Clones have comlinks, they could plan to meet outside the Jedi Temple, somewhere Maul wouldn't want to go anyway, and then the four of them could form a plan and take Maul together when he's not expecting it. The Clones will have the terrain advantage, the advantage of having a plan and the advantage of surprise.
