correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't there a deal where if you lose the first battle against the Darth REvan, Malak and Bastilla comp, Darth Malaks hp will be less the second time around? this works vs the Darth Nihilus lead where you just send in some weak toons to die and then the protection being converted into HP goes away for the second round, leaving Nihilus with less hp to deal with. I heard the same is true with Darth Malak. He's got a lot of hp due to his protection being converted into health, but the time you go into a second battle vs him, he doesn't have protection to convert since it had gotten eaten away from the first battle, thus his overall hp is less. Reason why i'm saying all this is that in the second battle, he's very much vulnerable to a Probe Droid self destruct. Badstilla and Darth Revan will also have just used their special attacks in the first turn where your weak toons got demolished, but lasted long enough to make them use them. Then you send in the probe droid (who hasn't gotten his CD's increased because Revan and Badstilla don't have a move to inflict fear) and one shot malak. This seems to me to be an effective way to kill malaks without having a malak yourself.
