Warning, Dark Lord, The Rise of Darth Vader spoilers below. Rex, if you see this, can you put that spoiler thing where you have to highlight it to read it on the text? I can't figure out how to do that.
I finished the book today and learned a lot of interesting things about Dark Vader. One of them is that even though he had been in his suit for only 3 weeks and was still learning how to use it, because of the way he had adapted his style, he was able to defeat a Jedi Master in lightsaber combat. We also know that shortly later Sidious had Vader do some things for about a month and Vader was later thinking to himslef about how significant his increase in power was, even though he had already been able to defeat a Jedi Master in lightsaber combat. A day or two after that he goes and fights this Jedi Knight girl, who he beats rather easily, then he fights to Jedi Knights at the same time for a while but eventually decapitates both of them. Seconds after fighting those first three he fights another four Jedi, two Knights, two Padawans(haven't seen much combat outside of killing droids) and defeats(but doesn't kill) them with ease. He then fights that first Jedi Knight girl(she hadn't technically passed the trials, but was days away from doing so and Roan, a guy who had trained two Jedi thought she had effectively passed the trials) again and is toying with her when Roan comes back and tells her to help get the wookies out of the battle(the Jedi went to Kashyyyk to try and find Yoda, Luminara, and Vos) and Roan fights him for a while. Eventually Vader bombards Roan in the same way he hit Luke in ep5 with the debris, but because they are in a battle their are lots of shard objects around. He knocks Roan down a far distance and then tells him about what really happened with the Sith and then presumably Roan dies.
All that within eight weeks or so of becoming Vader. Pretty impressive if you ask me. We also learn that the Jedi Temple had holocrons from the Ruusan time and that Vader had full access to the Temple scrolls and archives.

Because he simply does not have it. What you have seen are two completely different things that might look like it. However there is absolutely nothing to suggest and nothing has ever said that GG has the force. The two casses your thinking of are wrong, the palps one has already been explained in another thread.
The other example of the force push can probably be explained far more logical in another way.
When Grievous apparently force pushes Palpatine, what halts Palpatine being hurled through the air? Once more, why would Grievous FORCE PUSH Palp? He clearly refrains from harming him a short time later
Grievous was ordered to capture Palpatine. If he was trying to capture Palpatine, why would he Force Push him into Shaak Ti?
At the Battle of Hypori, things get a little more complicated. i don't know who Force Pushed who when Shaak flew away, but I know it wasnt Grievous. He was trying to slash her brains out.
I hope what i said is on topic to your conversation, because i dont want to seem like a moron
Anyway, it's getting a BIT off topic here

I have no idea what he's trying to say either. . .
However, Grievous doesn't use the Force. On Hypori, Shaak Ti uses the Force to evade Grievous's lightsaber stroke, while on Coruscant, she Force pulls the Chancellor away from the general's grip.
