True, but that doesn't explain why Windu didn't just solo the army on Geonosis.
The same reason Dooku didn't jump down and massacre fodder Jedi. And also technical limitations. They already killed off half the TPM Council because it would have been too expensive to animate them. How expensive would it have been to have Mace Windu punching through battledroids in a Man of Steel esq fashion.

Episode 3 already had high budget; more could be put in to it, but GL thinks differently from many authors about capabilities of Force-users.
In GL backed The Clone Wars series, Dooku was once captured by pirates: http://starwars.com/explore/the-clone-wars/ep111/
Fact is that The Clone Wars (mini) series is an unreliable/inconsistent medium for Jedi powers, canon or not.
Originally posted by S_W_LeGenDGL had ample time to explore Jedi powers in The Clone Wars series but he didn't follow the route of the The Clone Wars (mini) series.
Therefore, The Clone Wars (mini) series depicts characters in exaggerated form. If TOR era characters are featured in such a medium, they might be even more impressive. Most viable solution is to avoid this medium for comparative purposes.
I would suggest if TOR level characters were featured in the movies or in a T-Canon setting then they would also be toned down as their feats are likely also exaggerated for Lucas's taste.
I disagree. The trailers, which are basically our insight into the capability of the TOR-era, are on a level with the Clone Wars cartoons. I don't see them as being exaggerated beyond the CWC in them. Now a few characters do perform beyond the level shown in the cartoon, but imo I think that's solely due to the characters actually being a level beyond the majority of the characters on the show. I.E. You're not going to see Obi-Wan smash through a blast door or block Sidious-level lightning because Obi-Wan actually isn't that powerful. Still you do have impressive displays of power, like Maul pulling that ship, Sidious owning the brothers and Dooku lifting those obalisks.
The movies just suffer from the fact that its harder to make things visually impressive on live action.

The 3 official cinematic trailers (Deceived; Hope; Return) are LucasArts approved realistic or movie like depictions of TOR era characters in action.
The rest have been reasonably explained by member (Nephthys).
