Did everyone forget about all the jedi in rots getting killed without any difficulty? I get it, they're as OP as the writer decides, and it's a pointless conversation, but no one in cannon has tried just sniping a jedi in the back of the head, and there's no logical reason it shouldn't work, especially if the sniper pulls some punisher shit and triggers an explosion in the opposite direction like a nanosecond before he fires the bullet. It worked on spider-man, it should work on vader.

Killed by clone troopers they fought besides & developed relationships with for years. They didn’t ‘see’ it coming because they weren’t looking. This is the only reason it worked, & why Sidious had it implemented into the chip inside every single clone troopers brain. I get what you’re saying though for sure. They’re supposed to be op af, & yet they all got slaughtered pretty easily


Jedi got shot at all the time, but generally rarely actually got hit, haha.


Well, I’d say it makes sense in their universe. They can for all intensive purposes, see the future. Projectile deflection is an integrate part of every jedi’s basic training.

I like SW a lot, haha

You’re right though, it comes down to the characters inherit powers decided upon by the writer. Like Batman. Batman shouldn’t be able to defeat...everyone...but he does, because they write him that way.

Vader should absolutely defeat Batman...but he probably wouldn’t, because Batman

So he can stop lasers blasters, choke people to death, move massive objects including space ships, talk to people through telepathy, perform crazy acrobatics ..... but can’t stop a bullet?

Oh please shut up. You're letting your stupid show.

Did I hurt your nerd feelings ?

Half those things Vader didn't do, and all of them are based on close proximity so the force user can sense your motives. Something that you can't really do for a sniper that's miles and miles away. Especially if you aren't aware someone is in the middle of wanting to take your life.

Plus order 66 killed almost all the Jedi and that was a close range sneak attack, not an extremely long range one. So your argument doesn't really hold up.

That isn't a very good example. Getting shot by someone who you think has your six is not the same as getting shot by a random guy.

You're right, as a Jedi being that close to someone and constantly being able to sense their motives should be easier to defend against than someone you have no idea is about to kill you.

Except they would be focusing on possible enemies in the area and not a supposed friendly.

Just like a patrol in real life. You wouldn't be focused on if the men in your squad are going to kill you. You'd be looking at your surroundings and focusing on possible threats.

If they have spidey senses as claimed, they should feel it and see it coming immediately. If they're not quick enough to react to someone in close proximity turning on them, how the fuck would they react to a bullet from half a mile away hitting them in the head?

e: Obviously this is a pointless conversation, but I think people build up Jedis wayyyyyy too much. They're really not that beast in the world of fantasy.
