I hate it so much when a stupid droid is essential in a situation where you have to fight and survive a Sith Emperor. If that's the case why don't the jedi bring 5 of these little droids to guarantee their victory.
Maybe Emperor's elite guards should be these droids too.
Well yeah that's what I'm saying. Why is a machine relevant against Vitiate? The weakest force user should be considered more powerful to any non force user. Same thing applies to Mandalorians. The importance of force is underestimated sometimes. A force user has full control over his/her surroundings. Only another force user should have a defense against it.

Droids can be remarkably strong and dangerous warriors in their own right. Just look at the examples of Terminators to understand why.
Your point is valid in the context that machines shouldn't be relevant against someone as powerful as Vitiate; and this is actually true.
T3-M4 was not relevant against Vitiate. The droid prevented Revan's death for sure but its attack (while lethal to biota in general) didn't undermine Vitiate. In-fact, the poor droid ended-up all but atomized in response.
Still you should respect T3-M4 for its strengths. It was/is among the top (droid) combatants of the mythos.
But EU canon craps all over that. You have Mandos being legitimate threats to Jedi without the benefit of Force TK defense, something established when Exar Kun first came to be introduced during early Jedi Academy days. You have the TOR muggles who are somehow being excepted from TK used by the same guy that kills other muggles casually.
Hero Plot Induced Immunity.
And again, T3 is divine.

Yeah, it's ****in stupid. The best is when Vitiate uses the "full power of the Force" to destroy it...
I enjoyed having the droid with me in Kotor so I got no problem with it. 😄
Im saying the droid shouldn't be relevant cause force users sense other people's reflexes and can prepare a defense for it. Vitiate should have been able to sense the droid's maneuver and crush the droid before it interferes wit Vitiate's business. Those droids are useful to have around for technical reasons but not in battles.
Same with Mandalorians. A jedi should be able to sense everything a mandalorian is about to do in battle since they can't protect them selves from the influence of the force. They could be an asset when led by a force user but a civilization with no force users should never be a threat against the republic. I don't mind it cause it makes the EU richer but the T3's effect on Vitiate's execution is just silly. I mean the guy claims that his will cannot be effected and everything is within his control. Though its not entirely true, I think he is at least in a state where a droid cannot effect his plans.
