While it's likely a lower Jedi would be infected, they're a lower jedi so they wouldn't influence the tide of battle as much as a higher jedi/sith like Sidious, Yoda, Revan etc.
And I don't any of them would be able to get infected. Hell, given Yoda's size can yoda even get infected? I mean grunts and jackals can't.

It's not based on size. It's usually if they would turn into effective combat forms depending on the levels of calcium. If the Flood is forced to, they can infect Grunts and Jackals and turn them into combat forms. In the main Halo trilogy we only see Brutes, Elites and Humans combat forms while the everything else contributes to Flood biomass which will eventually create a Gravemind to coordinate the Flood and to alter the environment and atmosphere. Don't forget the that the Flood aren't mindless. Once they have a Gravemind they will learn from how the Jedi fight and will eventually learn to overcome them. Plus, all your AI's are belong to us. Logic Plague will get at least any semi sentient AI in the Star Wars universe.

Funny, the logic plague didn't seem to effect Cortana. How could it possibly effect every single AI star Wars as? Bearing in mind there's alot of them (CIS) >Will learn to overcome them I dunno, I'd say the force is a pretty big thing what's hard to overcome.

Edited by Hipi07: 7/15/2013 2:52:41 PMIt did affect Cortana. Didn't you see what was happening to her in Halo 3? She was on the verge of succumbing to it and falling into rampancy. But anyways, Cortana resisted long enough until the Chief saved her, but even then her state was very deteriorated. The same way it did all the Forerunner AI's. If the Flood come into contact with an AI, it will unleash the Logic Plague. It's how Mendicant Bias, the Forerunners most advanced AI, was corrupted and turned against the Forerunners. Granted it took 43 years, but still. If an AI infected with the Logic Plague simply contacts another uninfected AI, the Logic Plague will pass on and the uninfected will become infected. To stop it, communications will have to be cut across the galaxy and only rely on extremely secure connections. It cripples the war effort. Just like the Mandalorians eventually learned to be able to defeat the Jedi, even in hand to hand combat. The Flood will find a way and they definitely have the numbers to sacrifice to find that weakness.

Took 43 years to corrupt the medicant bias? Seems like quite the long time. So a gravemind is made and the flood are continously sacrificing themselves to learn how to beat the one Jedi. Then another jediwith a different fighting style comes along. Not every jedi fights the same way.
-
Again, you're vastly underestimating the Flood. Anyways, a single jedi or a group can't stop an infestation without themselves getting infected. You don't think that from infected AI's or other infected jedi's or whatever they won't learn how most jedi's fight? Or their tactics? Don't forget the Flood have some sort of telepathy.
-
If a planet becomes too infested with the flood, don't send a jedi there. Blow it the -blam!- up.
-
Obviously, but a planet can fall to the Flood pretty quickly. Flood have a way of arriving in almost without letting it be known they are coming.
-
But by the time it becomes significant enough just cut off all contact with that planet and then proceed to blow if the -blam!- up. Quarantine is the best way to prevent an infection from spreading, especially if that quarantining involves blowing stuff the -blam!- up
-
Orbital bombardment takes time. The Death Star would be the faster way, but it can't be everywhere at the same time. The Flood invade from outside the galaxy. Multiple fronts will be opened and more stuff you loose fighting against the Flood, the more you have later to fight.
-
Doesn't the death star have hyperdrive capabilities? If not, well you have the eclipse to.
-
Hyperdrive is no where near fast enough. Plus, every how often can the Death Star shoot its main weapon? I assume the Eclipse is some sort of giant capital ship? Which would follow OB, which is too slow.
-
Death Star 1 - 24 hours Death Star 2 - A couple minutes And the Eclipse is basically the executor with the Death Star weapon attached to the front
-
[quote]And the Eclipse is basically the executor with the Death Star weapon attached to the front[/quote] That doesn't even sound feasible.
-
Well not the exact dish, but it just has an awesome shoop da whoop lazer on front, I think it's strength is comparable to the death star anyway
-
It can destroy an entire planet? The Death Star itself basically powered the weapon, how can a ship even begin to have the same amount of power as a small moon?
-
Because. Force.
-
Because plot hole/canon inconsistency, which SW is plagued of.
-
Name one. In the original trilogy.
-
C3PO is gay. Nah, but the Eclipse isn't from the original trilogy, right? I'm talking movies, not EU during the original trilogy.
-
Nope. Yeah, movies. Give me a star wars inconsistnecy in the Original trilogy of Star wars movies. Oh wait.
-
I was more talking about EU. Stormtrooper accuracy.
-
That's not so much of an inconsistency. But the plot power around the main characters is so great, it forms a physical barrier what deflects the lasers
