As was Mace. And he was almost killed.
Just bring this back... How the hell was he almost killed? If you mention the desperately parried quote again you really are an ass. Mace isn't a Stormtrooper or a ANH style Rebel, he won't die after a single blaster shot that hits a non vital area. Oh and is there any prrof that the bolt would have killed him if he'd missed? Not like jedi know how to absorb blaster bolts with the Force either. You know, that'd be completely silly.

Pg. 314"No ordinary humanoid could contend with a Jedi one-on-one and expect to win. Even a true teras kasi adept, harnessing his own inner energy and drawing on decades of honed skill, could hope, at best, for a draw."
You labor under the delusion that Jango Fett is a normal humanoid.

Every word of that is total bullshit. To have Mace desperately parry isn't that impressive. But to have a man like him desperately parry multiple times suggests that Jango's shots were lethal. And give me a break. I doubt DT actually thought anyone would argue for Jango, and now you want me to prove that Mace desperately parrying implies Mace was in a life threatening situation, using what shreds of canon I have? **** that man.
You wanna know something? We don't know anything else about Jango. If you disregard Windu's evaluation of him (which I still don't understand, as it doesn't contradict the films in the slightest), everything rests on that adverb. Furthermore, how does this overrule anything? The only thing it does overrule is your philosophy that JEDILOL > Mandalorians.
If I may answer your question with one of my own, what keeps Jango from simply blowing Mara's brains out before she raises her hand?

Well first off we do know that Jango is a really proficient warrior. Dooku hired him becuase of how much he impressed him in the Battle of Galidraan, during which, using no weapon beyond his own hands, feet, and armored body, Fett vengefully killed six armed Jedi. That is a damn impressive feat, but I call pis on it.
And the answer to your question is that a) precognition makes him taking her by surprise almost impossible b) Jedi reflexes are much, much faster than Jango's given that they can bat blaster fire etc c) force speed makes her much, much faster too and d) shes a battle hardened Jedi master personally trained by Palpatine himself.
It takes Jango a milisecond to fire. That is with him turning to face his enemy.
Bwahahahaha!
He won't even be able to lift his hand before she blasts him.

What you need to do is read Shatterpoint and AOTC.

Wasn't even aware of that. Prove it's PIS.

Irrelevant; he is faster. If he wanted to take her by surprise, he would slit her throat as she slept.
b) Jedi reflexes are much, much faster than Jango's given that they can bat blaster fire etc
Here. This is what is being disputed. This is what you you have difficulty with. Jango is not a regular human being.
Jango Fett nearly killed Mace Windu. Mace Windu had to parry desperately to bat back some blaster fire. Whether or not Mace could take a bolt to the chest is questionable, however, it's completely incontestable that Mace did in fact struggle to win. He was in fact in a life-threataning situation. Jedi reflexes are one thing, but when a man of Windu's stature is forced to fight for his life, saying that Jango is as fast and as skilled as Windu, is perfectly logical. Prove to me that JEDILOL > Mandalorians.
c) force speed makes her much, much faster too
See above. Read Shatterpoint. Windu makes it explicitly evident that he is not fast enough to both slice through Dooku and deflect Jango's bolt. That's with Jango turning around, and friction coming into play.
He won't even be able to lift his hand before she blasts him.
I dare you to prove this. Jango has demonstrated speed that rivals a sphere of purple fire. Don't regurgitate JEDILOL. I want an actual feat that puts her on his level.

Couldn't Mara just use the Force to pull Jango towards her and slice his head off?Anyhow, Jango Fett was pretty much tied with AOTC Obi Wan, who is probably at that point weaker than Mara, given that Mara was a Jedi Master and on the council.
This is what people don't understand. By the time Mara lifts her hand, she will be dead.
Again, Obi-Wan is the Soresu god. Jesus can't get through his defense.
