"not to mention the light side of the Force's general weakness at detecting threats, very ambiguously telling them there's danger, but not where it is." I have never heard that before. Where did you hear this? Although I must say that if he at least knew he was in danger, he would be keeping on his toes.-I dunno know, the goddamn films. The characters will state "I sense danger." whenever the force warns them, but not something like "OHMYGODEVILSLUGSGONNAGETPADME!" In Empire, Luke doesn't even sense Vader, let alone say something like, "Boba Fett is sniping me and Darth Vader is in that room. Should steer clear" Force warnings can't seem to work for crap.

"and Arbiter has shields." The strength of the energy shields in Halo that we see on Spartans and elites are often tremendously exaggerated on this wiki. In Halo, we see elites pretty much instantly killed if they get crushed or hit by a large heavy object."-While I agree on the overrated shields bit, its becuase shields are meant to hold against impact and force, and the force from said heavy objects is usually powerful. An energy weapon like Windu's might take a strike or two to really tear through Elite shields, considering they have the strengths of Mjolinor shielding, and a lessened weakness.
