What are your favourite Jedi takedown techniques?

[ZzaphodD]

Ok, we all know those pesky Jedis suddenly becomes walking powerhouses when it comes to combat...
So, given the fact that Jedis during the Rebellion era also are walking moneybags for Bounty Hunters, how would one take one down?

-Blasters are mostly out of the question.
-If they have Danger Sense they are really hard to surprise.
-They often have back-up from other PCs, at least some combat oriented.
-Close combat is more or less futile with LSC running.
-Lets consider other options than bringing in Dark Side Inquisitors and such..(or Dark Jedi Bounty Hunters a la Aurra Sing).

So, whats your favourite tricks, tactics and weapons?

crowded urban centres, Detonite, grenades and convieniently timed Imperial re-infocements who are coming to take control of the settlement. The element of surprise is also Key, puts them at a one round disadvantage and the sudden activity makes it harder for the jedi to use concentration to aid their already formidable skills.

Edit: Also suicide Ewoks, packed with detonite work well, Jedi always asume they're friendly...

Some GMs play that stun blasts cannot be parried, so that can work.

Physical shots like a shotgun or magna caster can be good as they cannot be relected back so they're also a good option.

The deck sweeper varients on guns work as they cannot be parried or dodged if you're close enough.

Flooding an area with ion blasts to disable lightsabers also works.

There are actually quite a wide range of options for creative players/GMs

Missile weapons, Stokhli spray sticks, flame throwers, and sniper weapons. There are other big scary plot devices that also trap Jedi, but these weapons are the easiest thing to use if you want to give them a decent challenge.

Depending on how the GM works it cortosis can be a good tool as well.

In fact a cortosis projectile would be very frustrating if every time you successfully parried a shot your lightsaber turned off.

Probably although perhaps you'd only need a thin coating of cortosis on each projectile. It might be possible to do that with the wastage from creating a single cortosis weapon.

Still only an experienced Jedi hunter would have the resources and knowledge to use a trick like that.

EMP grenades.

Once you take away the lightsaber Jedi aren't so hard to deal with.

[ZzaphodD]

[Esoomian]

Yes, yes it would so you either have to be able to deal with that (IE use unpowered melee weapons or something) of have to enter the area after the ion blasts are gone.

I like Detonite, with a remote detonator. I had a storm commando once that a jedi party was chasing, unfortunately for them, he had the time to set up a kill zone, so he stopped right at the foot of the entry ramp for his escape ship, they entered the hanger, then he taunted them into the kill zone. None of them died, but most of them were at least wounded, and he escaped.

I've not seen any ion grenades (though they may exist). I've used starship scale weapons set to overload to create a similar effect before, but generally it's done by just using volly after volly of ion gunfire.

A decksweeper modified to fire an ion blast would probably be the most effective way to do it.
