3. Again, i suggest you watch clone wars and see what Shaak Tii (i think) does to those droids Grievous employs with one of their staffs. Remember the Jedi and Sith don't ONLY train with a lightsaber.
4. Also please rewatch ROTS and see that Obi Wan can also use a blaster....which anyone can.
All in all, don't say that the Jedi are all about the lightsaber and how they're defenseless without it. I'm sure you didn't mean it like that and sorry if i was too harsh, but that kinda thing gets to me

I can accept the fact that blasters come into play and can still use the force, but don't use the Clone Wars as a basis of an arguemnet.
The CLone Wars are over-the-top. Mace can punch holes in droids while in the movie, Obi-Wan almost breaks his leg kicking Grievous.
The Jedi aren't defenseless without a saber, but they don't suddenly become superheroes ala Clone Wars when they lose them. They can't punch big holes in metal, they can't summon ships from the sky etc.
The Jedi in the CLone Wars don't even need sabers, when you think about it. They are like Neo or something in the cartoons, which is fun for a cartoon, but bears no relation at all to the REAL Star Wars physics.
