You can. I am assuming you will use Defend to protect against multiple attackers.
The heavy turrets send forth their lasers, the bolt ricocheting off of your lightsaber and crashing against every surface. One bolt manages to catch you, burning across your side as you hurl yourself through the door. 7 damage, putting you at a total of 31 damage.
The room at the bottom of the staircase is dark.
You feel the danger before you see it. From out of the darkness, a pair of glowing eyes flash towards you, then another pair, then another... untily ou are confronted by five droids that are clad in the flesh and garb of dead pirates, their eyes glowing from beneath the stretched and sewn faces.
Instead of attacking from a distance, they each raise their fists, which crackle with energy in the darkness.

It seems these droids are more durable than you expect. You try a Combat Push and it merely shoves the droid backward some, to no effect.
They come at you with a brawling style, simply flailing their mechanical fists at you. You fall back, interposing your lightsaber to mess up their attacks. 13, 12, 11, 8... at skill 11, these droids come close enough that you can smell the electricity crackling in their metal hands, but you can't feel it!

Player privilege to you, sir.
Now, these droids are Supermooks. That means you get a hefty +4 from Mook-Killing Powers, thanks to your lightsaber and Carnival of Carnage. A 10 and a 6 are upped to a 14 and a 10...
The droids you attack actually make an effort to stay out of the way. Impressive combat programming. On top of that, they have light forearm-mounted shields that increases the difficulty to cut them apart... but you manage to deal 23 damage to the first one. The second is a miss as your lightsaber merely skims the thin shield.
They retaliate! 12, 7, 16, 17, 8... two hits! For 4 and 5 damage, 9 total.

Xavier to attack!
19 and 9... with the fierceness of your twirling blow, you manage to cut right through the shield and sever the first droid's arm, then finish it off as you sweep your blade through it into the next droid. The shield allows it to fend off the worst of the attack, but you still inflict 22 points of damage.
One of the droids smashes his fist into your upper arm for a jolt of 5 damage.

I made an error; only the droids you attacked should have dodged. I am giving the other droids back one frame. Remember that Defend only works against foes all on the same frame.
Because of the correction, the droids get another attack, but I'll have it miss, so privilege is yours.
Also, Force pool refresh!
Oddly enough, 9 and 19 this time around. You dismantle another droid with a sweep of your lightsaber and bring it crashing into the second, forcing it backwards by slipping your lightsaber past its shield for 26 damage.
No successes for the remaining droids.

A 20 is almost wasteful as you vivisect the damaged droid. The next droid catches your lightsaber solidly with its shield, then punches you square in the jaw with a 20 of his own. The shock sends pain throughout face and neck as you take 7 damage and recoil, backing into a jab from the last droid that electrifies your back for 6 damage. 13 damage total!

Incoming attack from one droid, but you are acting ahead of the other.
