Ya, you probably fought a padawan. Wait until you fight a Full-Template Jedi Knight.
I fought a Full-temp Knight a few nights ago, and I forgot what skill he used, but he lowered my Rifle damage from 1200+ PVP, to like 213 and he caused me to miss every other shot. The one thing that bugs me too about Jedi, is that their Root recharge is faster than mine. So i pretty much gave up and did nothing, even with my health at half, as he rooted me back to back.
