There is a little bit of validity to what you said regarding the ambiguity of the danger. According to the Star Wars wiki, "This danger sense was often described as tingling feeling in the back of the mind that foretold danger, though it was known only to warn a Jedi of danger and wouldn't provide any information as to where the danger would come from.". However, the next sentence went on to say "The danger sense would usually flare up just before an attack or some other threat occurred, giving the Force-user time to react to the danger.". Info retrieved from. Given that the sense flares up, it is apparent that Mace Windu would have time to act. I also wish to point out that it wasn't really until Return of the Jedi that Luke Skywalker's force powers had developed fully. During episode V, he was still training, so that could likely explain why he was less ready. Compare that to Mace Windu who, throughout pretty much all mainstream outlets of Star Wars, is a fully trained Jedi Master.

"its becuase shields are meant to hold against impact and force, and the force from said heavy objects is usually powerful." Yes, an Elite's shields and armor is able to withstand some level of force, but it is definitely limited. It doesn't take a lot of Halo playing to show that the protection from the shields is lmited, and that many heavy objects can instantly kill elites on impact even with their shields. And the amount of force these objects need at minimal aren't too hard to equal with a bit of simple force-pushing of some large objects.

"An energy weapon like Windu's might take a strike or two to really tear through Elite shields" I disagree with that claim. Energy swords in Halo have shown to be able to break shields in one hit if not kill. Lightsabers cut easily through many hard solid objects that Halo energy swords either can't cut through, or are tough to cut through. Given that the Lightsaber is superior to the energy sword, I believe that the lightsaber would be able to get through an Elite's shield much more easily than an energy sword. In other words, very easily; with one strike.
