I all of those Force powers. They add more depth to the story.

I just thought they were too flashy.

I think they are just fine so long as they are used in moderation. Right now they are still distinct from superhero powers because they aren't using their flashier powers every second of every day; they are obviously not casual things.

It raises more questions than answers though.

I think it is ok to leave some thing like that in an uncertain area. We know they have powers; we know they can't use them all the time; that's all we need for the films.

Moderation is the best way to go for the next 2 movies.

And it takes away some of the passiveness of the Jedi. They don't use the force to attack but they spent ages mastering these combat techniques.

THat is a seperate syndrome. I don;t you should take that line from Yoda so literally. He means they never use the Force in an overtly aggressive way; seriously dangerous combat abilities are obviously part of basic Jedi life.

If the Jedi DID use the force in an overly aggresive way then they would be tempted by the Dark Side.

Jedi don't use the force to attack.
And they are still spending years and years mastering all these techniques.
Jedi are a contradiction anyway. They are passive and hippyish but they all carry the most lethal weapon around. You can understand that it's for defense but they don't need all these superpowers as well.

I rather think they do actually., Without them they cannot defend the Galaxy as is their job. I think it;s part of their basic point. Merely aqn evolution of the Knight in Shining Armour.

I think the Force and the Super-powers are a package deal.

Well I don't like it. With all these powers you wonder how any of them could have been killed in the Clone Wars.

How are you going to defence yourself?
It is the most leathal weapon around but it is because they and no-one else use that weapon, it is their trademark, Annakin saw directly that QGJ was a Jedi

Exactly. No need for superpowers then. And I'm really talking about AOTC stuff like Mace making his saber move with his mind and killing lots of people with it. Just use your hands!

How would you prefer for them to be? Just knights with "laserswords?"

Hey, ithat Windu thing isn't confirmed. Besides, even if it is in, once you accept you have to fight then surely you need to know how to fight as hard as you can with the tools you have available? Othwrwise you may as well not bother.
Quite how the Jedi are wiped out IS an intriguing prospect...

I have a problem with the jedi only use their powers for defense, not attack, at the end of tpm it looked like ob1 and qgj were doing all the attacking while Maul was doing all the defending, in esb, Luke strikes Vader first I think and Luke tries to strike down the emperoer in rotj, perhaps its the Sith who use the force as defense, they're the ones always being attacked.
It seems to me to be a case of the best form of defense is to attack!
