it could be. THe Jedi handled the Mando's pretty handily though. In fact, it was very easy, they won over something like 6 of them without a casaulty, and protected Han.
What did Daala intend to do with them anyway? Attack the Jedi Temple? ROFL that would be stupid, I highly doubt that she'd have the authority to massacre hundreds of jedi (and she couldn't, as a single company of mandos wouldn't be enough), which would probably get her arrested.

Except the Mandalorians before were a match for both the Jedi and the Republic. The Republic (or GA or whatever) could obliterate both groups at this point if it wanted.

In the book Allies that is being released in May (I got the skinny) the Sith and the Jedi form an alliance to defeat possibly Abeloth. It is in my opinion that Jacen became Darth Caedus due to this [to defeat Abeloth].
It only makes sense to me. She sensed both Skywalkers were far more powerful than the strike team.
I [Jacen] think he saw Abeloth sitting on the throne and he had to do something to stop it. As a Jedi Knight, he wouldn't stand a chance. As a Sith Lord, he would have the ability to stop Abeloth. Unite the galaxy under his control and he has a fighting force. The only 2 things that went wrong were Palleon didn't join and Ben refused to turn. Caedus didn't even attempt to destroy the Jedi - he possibly wanted to use them in combat against Abeloth or whatever power is in the Maw. It is perfect logic.
With this alliance, Luke I believe will bring in some of the heavy hitters: Kyp, Kyle, Corran and maybe Jaina. Although the information on the new book points that Ben and Vestara do most of the fighting. I think this is where Ben becomes powerful. In the first 3 books, he isn't really powerful. Vestara might (but a longshot) turn to the light. Sith of the Tribe will be destroyed. Opinions . . .

Or Sekot just comes back and wtfpwns anyone...oh wait, gaping plot hole. Lets just no mention that. Seriously, why did Luke just ask Sekot to take out Raynar and then finish Jacen years later? That whole thing is really stupid.
I hope they don't make that Jacen's reason for turning to the Darkside. It makes no sense. The smart thing would have been to go to Luke and get help. Or to just perform a Base Delta Zeo on Abeloth's planet from the get go.

Stupid?
Not as stupid as:
1) thinking that throwing Sekot into Chiss/Kilik conflict is a smart idea. Because Chiss didn't dispose of Alpha Red
2) thinking that throwing Sekot into Galactic Civil War is a smart idea. Because new homeworld of Vong doubling as one of the most potent military threats of the universe will surely cause everyone to calm down, as opposed to try and fire the Centerpoint at it
3) the very idea of living planet jumping around the galaxy in a search of individual
Abeloth was imprisoned until the Centerpoint was destroyed.
The reasons for Jasen downfall are already known and illustrated.
As things are now, Mandalorians aren't a force capable of waging wars on their own. From the other hand, more confrontations between Mando and Jedi are inevitable due to narrative casuality.

This is not a rebuttal. The Force is a non-temporally bound source (of information).
What is that supposed to mean? Of course it is temporally bound. Future is always in motion and so on; in different moments of time you get different predictions...
Also. Jacen's actions don't tie into Abeloth. And they were not retconned.
When the Force allows you to see into the future, or travel back in time---the Force isn't limited by it.

Your assertion of the contrary does little to support your case. Why do you think that the Force couldn't have been giving Jacen a warning, given that you yourself have acknowledged that it gives glimpses into the future? Why do you think that the reasons for Jacen's "downfall" are limited to only those that have been explored in text? Have you been gifted with a 'Complete Works of Star Wars' from the future? What information do you have about the franchise that we don't?
