Wow, you're completely sure that one unspecific term is better than two other unspecific terms, even though in real life the official speeds of typhoons are the exact same as the speed of whirlwinds.
there's a difference between a Matukai whirlwind, and the jedi's lightsaber manevering style. Matukai are known masters of the physical body, the jedi are known to imbue their bodies with the force, not possessing a true mastery of the physical body, but rather display feats of super-human strength while their connection to the force remains.
Nope, the Matukai article specifically notes the Jedi do physical training as well, and I've also specifically noted that Luminara and other Jedi have done superhuman feats without calling on the force.
There are multiple Jedi in the Clone Wars era that are known to have specialized in unarmed combat, like Butler Swan and Luminara.
An unarmed Luminara beat up a Wampa, an alien dinosaur-like being the size of a T-rex, and killed a large battle droid, all specifically just physically, no force.
I guess this long message just translates you don't agree, simple. Its good thing you finally said so in one of your previous messages.
I've said I've disagreed for a long time.
And you can disagree too if you want- it's just you constantly say that X group can do this or Jedi can't do that, and every time when we look at the sources, nothing supports that, and often outright disagree.
It's purely your own personal views. And you're allowed to have your views! Just don't expect everyone to just agree without sources, and also expect everyone else to call you on it being wrong when you try and attack them for claiming stuff the sources disagree with.
It'd do you a lot of good to present your opinions as opinions, rather than as some official truth that everyone has to agree with even if the sources don't mention it.
That source didn't prove what you said but rather a waste of time.
Well, this rather cuts to the crux of the issue. You don't care what the sources say in many cases.
If the Jedi have force barriers that do everything the ZS's are said to do, and if the Jedi have done blatantly superhuman physical acts just like the Matukai do, you don't care, you just ignore it.
Your head-Jedi do less than the sources say the actual Jedi do.
Just accept that the Jedi aren't the strongest order like you think, i could mention several orders that are more powerful then the Jedi.
The Ones are the strongest Order, not the Jedi. They have the feats to back it up.
However, you keep on asserting these orders are stronger- even though they've done less, and based on the idea that the Jedi can't do what they do, even when the Jedi actually do so. You do need to get used to the fact that just because you like them and they have some cool tricks, that doesn't mean they're more powerful.
Heck, you do realize both Matukai and Zeison Sha came from the RPG, right? And that means they have statistics that show their abilities all the way up to Master level if one wants to play them?
And these stats do not place them as more powerful than the Jedi, only more specialized.
The Real big difference between the Jedi, Matukai, and Zeison Sha is not only their abilities, but the fact that the Matukai & Zeison Sha aren't iconic just yet, because they haven't had any stories reflected upon them, like the jedi and other orders.
There's two other very large factor that you're overlooking.
One, the Jedi are bigger and lasted longer, meaning they've been able to pick up many more recruits, the best recruits, and have a bigger knowledge base.
Two, the Matukai and Zeison Sha are specialized, they only train in some area. The Jedi are generalized... meaning they train in the same areas the Matukai and Zeison Sha do too! There are Jedi that specialize in Hand to Hand, there are Jedi that specialize in telekinetics. The order as a whole are generalists, but not all individual are, and the specialists have very much not shown any weakness in these areas.
Just because one group is good at something, it doesn't actually make other orders weaker at it. It just means that many aren't going to be in that area, but those who do work in those areas can still be really good... and considering we're talking an order of 10,000 vs an order of 60~ (Matukai), well, they're going to have more sparring partners to sharpen themselves on, even out of just the minority that work in those specific areas.
Heck, Matukai were known to join the Jedi on occasion! Meaning, for all your assertion that Matukai were stronger, there'd be Jedi fully training in Matukai techniques that'd be passed on to the Jedi order.
Once their stories are revealed in the form of either Books or Films, thats when you start eating your words, its a reason why they haven't shown them completely just yet, they are saving the best for last.
Well, this is the best argument you've given so far- it is true that in the future, they could make some extraordinarily Matukai or Zeison Sha characters if they wanted to, they could make them stronger than the Jedi.
I merely point out they definitely have yet to actually do so, nor indicated that they plan to.
And conversely, they could easily do the opposite.
Ah, uh, you do know they're talking about ending the EU, right? So there's quite possibly not going to be the opportunity.
