NJO Luke vs 10 Shadow Gaurds

Frankly, I'm getting sick of all the Jedi popping up recently. Just how freaking many survived the war and Order 66?

I may be wrong, but the slayers dont wear armor, their skin is their defence.

No, it's armor.

No, it's their skin, too. Early in the book, Shimrra slashes one with a saber and it's said a regular warrior would've been sliced in half.

Shaak Ti saved alot at the temple attack acording to TFU.

Of how many Jedi did the Order consist of?

Ten thousand, I think, although I think there were something like two thousand casualties during the war.

^This is true, I honestly think that in terms of power Luke>10 Shadow Guards, but even Luke is going to have a shitload of trouble parrying ten blasts of Force lightning, or ten saberstaffs

Yes but I thought in Inferno when he duels Caedus, doesn't he use some sort of protection bubble thing to counter his force lightning? and also in the Unifying Force, Jaina describes his mastery over the lightsaber looking like he was wielding 20 sabers at once. So why wouldn't he be able to block 10 saberstaffs?

I believe there were more than ten thousand. It is just that only ten thousand participated in the war. There were jedi who did not.

2000 died in the war? Is that including order 66? If not, then that means 1/5 of all jedi died, which is a LOT.

Also, if there are only 10000 in the entire galaxy, then why do people say "oh, Star Wars universe beats X because of the jedi"? I mean, if there are only 10000 jedi, then a few legions of the clone army could beat all of the jedi in the galaxy.

Not quite. One jedi can be equal to an entire legion. And powerful jedi such as Yoda can be superior to entire legions.

And what is x?

Probably star trek. That's the most common comparrison I've seen. Also, the clones only killed jedi because they didn't have malice in their hearts- they were just following orders, like any other day. The Jedi were also too spread out for them to help each other. As RotS says, "It was the ultimate Jedi trap."

Sort of:
Jacen stopped pulling and started to swing his free hand around. Luke was ready, had been expecting this since the fight started. Still flying through the air, he raised his own hand, palm outward, and pushed the Force out through his arm to form a protective shield. The lightning never came.

Instead, Luke was blindsided by something heavy and spiky, and his body exploded into pain as he slammed into a durasteel wall. He found himself pinned in place, trapped by a bed of thorns Jacen had hurled across the cabin.

and also in the Unifying Force, Jaina describes his mastery over the lightsaber looking like he was wielding 20 sabers at once. So why wouldn't he be able to block 10

The Force-meld helps multiple Jedi coordinate themselves better; it doesn't make them more powerful, IIRC.

Wookieepedia isn't a source, but it mentions that Jedi could "draw strength" from those within the meld and improve their abilities.

I was going by a sentence in JvS: Battle-melds permits a group of jedi to become stronger than if each stood alone,while also enabling them to communicate with one another through the force.

I'm definitely going to need to see an actual quote, but it's a distinct possibility considering I've only read three NJO books.
