Jedi aren't invincible. Theres a limit on things like deflection. Ones we see onscreen tend to be the better ones as well. 2. Rusty. 1000 years of peace. Karate vs MMA. 3. Lightsaber forms. Jedi basically trained to be a little bit goid at everything form 1 iirc. Looks trained vs lightsabers (form 2). Anakin was aggressive and flipped floppy. Form 4 and 5 iirc.  Obi Wan trained in Soresu form 3 iirc? Its a defensive style. They had the highest chance of survival at Geonosis. Most Jedi weren't trained in that form.   In D&D terms typical hedi knight is around level 8-10 trained in a single form. Probably not a useful one.  Heroes (Anakin, Obiwan) are probably level 12+. Trained in multiple forms or master of one (Dooku). All Jedi masters are level 13+. Theyre not well trained for combat taking feats and class features leaningvtowards diplomacy and non combat options.  A rare few study the old ways and are higher level (15+) with more than the 1-5 jedi knight levels and minimal levels as Jedi masters.  A Jedi 7/Jedi knight 10 has focused purely on combat for the most part. Theres not many of them.  They've probably spread out their ability scores, focused on diplomacy and taken space basket weaving and force:smelling roses class abilities. D&D terms theyre "roleplayers" Mauls probably something like Jedi 7/Sith apprentice 8 focused purely on combat. The Sith are "rollplayers".  New DM comes in and runs something different aka the Clone Wars. New DMs packing a new splat book, Jedi are using "Complete Book of Asteroid Basket weaving".</blockquote>
