well... i've done that quest today on my alt, and i died the first time and i ress'd at the medical post at the base nearby. i got back there re-summoned my companion, used the call the Force ability and ran in. then the companion got "stunned" and i beat the 2 jedi by using soresu form (juggernaut) and without attacking the old Jedi-dude before he started his attack on me... easy **** bro! good luck
