Oooh... I like that idea. Assuming the hunters aren't taken out by a pair of Padawans... Lol.
Should there be a shield from behind which the master has to watch?

So three jedi vs two hunters? If that's the case I can't guarantee I'll pull any punches for the sake of a cinematic fight. With those kinds of odds I'll have to be at the top of my game and can't afford to leave exploitable openings, especially since I know Green will be right there to do the exploiting. :P Though I suppose if I know he's dedicated to the cinematic-ness as well, I might be able to take my cutthroat down a notch. I just know he brings out the competitiveness in me. The guy's got an eye for detail that would make Sherlock jealous. ;)
Also: Are we still going to do that sparring match, G?

I'm fine with the two padawan idea if you want to write that many.
Or if Green wants to write the first padawan and you're good with that we could go that route. I guess it's up to which role Green wants to take.

So you did. Apart from the not caring who he hits. Makes teamwork a bit difficult... Lol.
Well... I'm certainly glad I've got a helmet with environmental filters. ;)
Character sheet posted. LeeRoy, do you wanna come up with a general strategy or just wing it?
For simplicity's sake, I think I'll drop Bloodshot's original force-based ability and substitute with cybernetics. That way there's less explaining to do and we can get underway faster. Now without any further ado...
Name- Bloodshot
Age- 35
Species- Umbaran
Gender- Male
Height- 6'6"
Weight- 220 lbs
Job- Bounty Hunter
Appearance:
Armor Capabilities:
Based heavily on the functionality of the Mark III Katarn-class Commando Armor, it shares many of the capabilities of its slightly older cousin, though still differs in several ways due to various personal modifications to the design. The most noticable of these modifications (apart from the cosmetic overhaul) is the inclusion of grav-plates on the outer thighs and back for the placement and holding of various weaponry (most commonly pistols and melee weapons). Further modification comes in the form of two foot-long vibroblades mounted in the armor's gauntlets that slide into an active position over the back of Bloodshot's hands, and stygian tri-prismatic plating for increased durability, allowing the armor to withstand even the blade of a lightsaber for several seconds before being compromised. Other additions include thermal and electromagnetic imaging systems, penetrating radar for identifying hostiles through walls, floors, and ceilings, and modifications to the life support system that allow it to deliver doses of the potent gas mixture utilized by the Umbaran military to increase reflexes and aggression. Beneath the armor's hardened plating lies a mesh body glove that is insulated against both thermal and electrical attacks, as well as being capable of stopping anything short of heavy blaster rounds or armor piercing slugs.
Abilities:
The legacy of the mercenary known as Bloodshot, a legacy that has passed through the hands of more than a dozen men, is more than simply the passing on of the armor and title. Through the use of ancient technology discovered on a long-dead planet, each successor to Bloodshot's legacy has not only received the wealth and possessions of his predecessors, but also the skills and memories they collected after assuming the title themselves. While this has given each successor a vast amount of experience and skills to draw from, it comes at the cost of their own memories, erasing everything prior to the time they first stepped into the machine. The current possessor of the title utilizes a combat style that favors pistols, blades, and staves of varying capabilities, with efficiency and speed taking precedence over the more showy techniques common to many of the galaxy's martial artists, including those favored by the jedi order. In addition to his mastery of firearms and melee combat, his Umbaran heritage also grants him a level of natural telepathic skill unrelated to the force-based talents of the jedi and sith. While this ability is less effective and versatile than that of jedi and sith that have dedicated their studies to developing the talent, it is nonetheless potent enough to give him the ability to read, subtly influence, and sometimes even control the will of others, in addition to granting him a high resistance to telepathic influence himself.

So are me and LeeRoy teaming up or would you prefer just one writer controlling both opponents?
EDIT: Nevermind... I didn't see the PM until just now. :P

Also, I'd be fine with teaming up, though Bloodshot would definitely fall into the master category.
And that, my dear Khan, is why I prefer particle beams to straight up lasers. Same concept as the guns of mass effect, but firing millions of atomic particles instead of one sand-sized one. Much more energy delivered on-target, with the advantage of being a sustainable attack if one shot doesn't get the job done. They also have only one of the disadvantages you listed for lasers (EMP's), and all of the advantages of them combined with most of the advantages of traditional projectiles.
And the EMP thing isn't even a weakness exclusive to directed energy weapons, as chemical propellants can only push a bullet so fast. If you want to exceed that limit, you have to get into the realm of rail guns and then you have the same EMP problem as pure energy weapons.
