You don't start with Charizard. You start with Charmander.Who is the best. And cutest.
Tzeentch, you are speaking heresy. Lucian has a point with what he is saying. Heed his words, and you shall know the power that is Darth Bandon.
You aren't missing much...

Is this true?
I don't think so. It says force strength in the novel. I'll have to double check though.

Well that effectively destroys one of the main problems with Abeloth, because it would be even more ridiculous if she were 20 more powerful than Luke.She's still likely the most powerful being in Star Wars, but its not so bad now.
'Luke tucked his chin and managed to flip to his back before he hit the stone floor. Abeloth was on top of him, her flesh blistered and smoking, her remaining leg entwining both of his, her remaining arm wrapped around the back of his neck. She drove the still-sizzling stump of her amputated arm into his throat, catching him square in the voice box and pressing hard. The cartilage began to give. He pushed back with the Force, reinforcing his larynx and trying to throw her off.
It was no good. Abeloth had a dozen times the Force strength Luke had, and he could do no more than keep her from crushing his throat. He tried to bring his knee up and found his legs incapable of moving. She straightened her leg, forcing his knee to bend against the joint, and something gave with a muted pop. He slammed a Force-enhanced knuckle strike into her side and heard three ribs snap … and remained entangled. She dug her nails into the root of his ear, then twisted, and his head erupted in pain. He slipped his deactivated lightsaber between their bodies and jammed the blade emitter against her stomach. He thumbed the activation slide and saw the blade shoot out the other side.'
Well, it doesn't seem that it could mean strength in the Force to me. She isn't using the Force on him, she's crushing his throat.
Perhaps. However, I can't think of a time where force strength ever refers to anything besides one's power in the force. The way I read it is that Abeloth's power is several times greater than Luke's and therefore she is able to amp her physical self to higher levels as well.
Edit: And the "It was no good," seems to be referring to Luke's attempts to use the force to push Abeloth off him.
