"So that would make 40 kph equal to 24 mph..Not really that hard to believe."
Well, when you consider that a marathon is 26 miles, and the world record time for the event is 2:04:55 (2 hrs, 4 mins, 55 seconds, so around 13 mph ), running at 24+ miles per hour seems above peak human speed.
It looked like Qui-Gon-Jinn and Obi-Wan-Kenobi were running at leat 100 mph in that scene from ep. 1. And when they got to the end of the shaft they were running down they had to jump to the ground a good 50 ft to the bottom.

30miles per hour is about peak human speed for an olympic athlete. And even they only keep it up for 10 seconds at a time, before collapsing exhausted,
And in Episode One, the Jedi moved OUTRAGEOUSLY FAST! They just disappeared in a blink of an eye. With force speed, force TK and their awesome lightsabre action, they oughta take out most of these heroes in no time. That's without using Choke or Lightning.
What I would like to know though guys, do you think a Sabre could go through Logans adamantium covered bones?

Probably not instantly like they cut through droids. It would take time for the heat of the saber to cut through adamantium, and Wolverine's not going to sit still.
Wolverine would probably be the last or one of the last men standing along with Black Panther (vibranium armor) and Deathstroke or Batman (smarts and self preservation). Possibly Blade. The Jedi tk abilities kinda makes it unfair. They can just toss debris and objects in the area like bottles, trash cans, dumpsters, small cars, etc at the street levels while attacking with their lightsabers (depending on where the fight takes place).
Well Adamantium is a earth made metal. The metal that is portrayed in the SW universe could very well be just as strong at Adamantium. I mean it has to be stronger than normal metal to be able to hold up a space ship at warp speeds. The technology in the SW universe is pretty advanced so I think that a saber could cut through Adamantium.

Those doors were 4ft thick and took no time to stab through it and about 20 seconds to melt a hole in it. His skeleton is laced with a thin layer of Adamantium.
