This is hard to say. Droiedka's are hard to debate, 2 of them put TPM Qui-Gon and Kenobi on the run, and 3 were at least good enough that ROTS Kenobi and Anakin choose to back away from them rather than destroy them. But Magnaguards are said to be superior to Droidekas, which is wierd because it sure doesn't seem that way.
Also I heard that sometime after ROTJ, Luke and Mara Jade faced a Droideka 2 on 1 and had trouble defeating it.

this is simple logic.After reconstructive surgery, all it took was vader to get angry for him t o crush a room full of metal made of the same substance as GG. with that in mind, he can simply tap into the darkside to collapse the droid's chases
It took a few seconds to crush all that metal, so I doubt the droidekas will all be crushed at once. If any or them unroll and start shooting at him, he's going to have to block it with the Force or with his lightsaber and isn't going to be able to block the laserfire and use the Force to crush them at the same time, easily. And if it were as easy to crush them with the Force as you make it out to be, why did Luke and Mara have such a hard time taking out a single Droideka?

Because, about that time, Timothy Zahn went through his mid-life-crisis where he realized that some of the movie characters exceeded those of his own design; Luke Skywalker was essentially becoming the shit when it came to acquired power. In a daring scheme, he decided to draft Survivor's Quest, where a post-Dark Empire Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker stumble upon the remains of Outbound Flight. There, they are encountered by a slightly modified droideka who attacks and nearly kills them. My theory? He does this all to symbolize that droidekas are uber, and Thrawn (pre-GADM days) owned them all in a stupifying display of tactical ability; a subtle indication that Thrawn > Luke.
That said, Luke Skywalker owned an AT-AT. By himself. Easily. And no matter how bad Zahn feels, an AT-AT > a droideka. By, like, miles. So, chalk it up to author's fiat and move on.

Let us note how easily he deflected fire from han solo's gun with his hand, he can easily do that here.
in terms of the metal, im sure droideka metal is softer than gg's metal so it shouldnt take that long. and a couple of seconds is still good time.
in the time it took anakin to crush the metal, the droids would have to first roll up to you, unfold, point the gun, then shoot.
in the time it takes to do all that, vader can force crush them

2. You being sure doesn't count as proof.
3. Unless when he started crushing them they immediately unrolled and opened fire.
4. Maybe.

1. That was [b]one blaster. Each Droideka has 2, so 20 total. Prove that he can block 2 laser bolts at once.2. You being sure doesn't count as proof.

the amount of blasters wont matter against a force adept like vader who spent most of his jedi carreer fighting droids.
using logic count dooku put gg back together using duranium which is stronger than bronzium
per this article

in response to point 3 of your presentation itslike this:
he crushes some, and if by a fluke one has time to unroll it's bots will be reflected by his hand then he crushes it.
