Since, playing JA the Mutant Rancor eats almost anything it gets its hands on, im wondering what Sith or Jedi could take it down..
excludes the following:
1) Exar Kun
2) All of the Ancient Sith
3) Any incarnation of Luke from DE and onwards
4) Ulic Qel Droma
5) Revan
6) DE Sidious
Remember mass powers such as controlling a black hole, cannot be used to say it can defeat a rancor, as it may as kill the user...the purpose is to see, if any force user, except for those stated above can defeat a Mutant Rancor...
Yoda has a shot, outside of that, any Jedi would be hard pressed to do anything. Lightsaber blows against the Mutant Rancor were completely ineffective, force lightning and force drain don't even phase him. Space age walls? He walks right by them. Explosive toxic tanks? No problem, doesn't even need to shrug them off.
The mutant rancor was practically indestructable, it stomped all over reborns without a second glance. Yoda might, some of the TOTJ Jedi might, but anyone else I would imagine would have a very hard time.

Actually, when you play, if you use force Sense and jump up real close to the Rancor, you'll find that your force powers and lightsabers have effect, however small...(it has a health bar)
But if it excludes gameplay, then yes, it was almost indestructable, im guessing that Kun's Sith Blasts would take it out though...
The gameplay mutant rancor has a health bar because you need a value for health or else the game does not know how to process the unit data (i.e. it does not register as an NPC). So instead of finding a way around that, it basically decides to put some obscenely high value for health (I think it's 10000) and amp its defense up. Even in the game it's effectively impossible to kill, and even if you godmode, you can still get completely owned .
hehe, ive killed it with the X-saber mod, i buffed up the weapon's stat so it pretty much owns it, the only thing that can really kill is the sand creature, try it, it works, except its hard since you have to avoid it grabbing you. Try the unlimited force trainers and X-saber if you wanna be able to kill it
If you spawn it, it can be killed, it just takes like 20 minutes of lightsaber swining and alot of force jump/speed.
And I don't think it's lightsaber resistent. The strongest walls in the Trade Federation battleship was nothing (even with extended walls) against Qui-Gon's lightsaber, I don't think the bare skin of a Rancor (even if it's mutated) could resist a lightsaber plugged into it's skull.
He did die when he was crushed by a big pillar.
