This.
Like I was pointing out to Lucian (he agreed, it was against something someone else, earlier, had stated), earlier, we also can't do the same for low-showings.
^ Yeah but what he did on Dantooine is more than just a minor inconsistency.. It completely contradicts anything and everything we see in the rest of the SW Universe.
I prefer this as proof of what Mace Windu is capable of with the Force:

Especially at 1:05
The way I see it theres 2 ways of looking at the feats in cw mini:
1) Exaggerrated so non-canon or
2) Exaggerated so a One-Off.
I think the Link Ive posted is enough proof of his Force Power without having to refer to CW Mini.
EDIT: Oh and this at 1:20:

Deflecting Sidious's Lightning puts Mace's Force powers within the elite few.
DP, you can "see it" any way you want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's canon, whether you like it or not. And there was nothing in the video you linked us to that really contradicts what happened on Dantooine (in my opinion of course). Leland Chee defended it as canon and to top it off, GL stated that it was canon as well.

Hey JT I didn't post those links to contradict Cwmini, I posted them as more reliable showings of Mace's Force Powers. Crushing Destroyer Droids is pretty Uber IMO.
If we say the Cwmini feat is canon, thats fine, but it was still just a One-Off. We've seen nothing like that from Mace again. Id personally go by more consistent showings, and not One-Offs (especially where the One-Off was in a cartoon thats been quoted to be Exaggerated by more than one source).

They said the "Feats" were canon? Where?
If I remember right Leeland Chee said feats that contradict what we see in the Films are Not-Canon. Ask True Jedi about that quote (cause he wasn't too happy about it at the time Lol)..
And I know Dave Filoni has said the Cw mini showing of Force Powers were "Exaggerrated. I think Borbarad posted some quotes of that once.

Rivi-Anu temporarily lifted a Venator class star destroyer. Not just guide one as it fell, but preventing it from falling and crushing her clone army and Jedi allies.
The fact that he did something at one point then didn't do it again at another, when you think he should have, doesn't qualify as a contradiction. So again, what Mace Windu did on Dantooine doesn't contradict anything else he's done. Inconsistencies of this nature are common in the SW universe but do not necessarily erase a character's abilities.
...Moreover, while the movies are the ultimate level of canon, it should be noted that the CW mini-series episode 13 was presented to and approved by George Lucas AFTER AotC came out. Therefore, it's not a stretch to say that GL thought that the battle of Dantooine was a better indicator of what Mace Windu was capable of at the time than what he had showed in the movie (which came out earlier).
