Oh yes, agreed with that. So pointless.
When fighting Malak I realised I had no force powers to destroy the jedi capsules. So I had to fight him over and over again. Luckily I had well over 50 advanced medpacs and 100 normal medpacs, and with force resistance none of his force powers can mess you up. Also I beefed up my 2 sabers.
He went down quite easily.
EDIT: And I shot myself up with as many steroids as I had.
