he can't. Which is why he gets curbed. Well that, and the massive speed and reaction difference between the two.
Don't mind Quan, this is why he's the laughing stock of the forum, for threads such as this one. It's an utter curbing by Palps here. Quan is so naïve about the characters he didn't even know the Chancellor and the Emperor were one in the same. That tells you how naïve he in on the subject. His bias is exemplified by the following:
We show Palps casually TK people WITH force powers who CAN block these things with their own force defense. Yet they were unable to do so. He was ragdolling them all over. Yet, he dismisses this because the didn't BEAT THEM doing that... WTF... HUH??? That is the level of idiocy being displayed here. He didn't finish them that way because he decided to monologue more and confront them with Sabers. So he did so. Yet some how, to shortbus, this means he couldn't and it's not in character for him to do so. That is complete BS. it's totally within his character to do that. He's ruthless. He would absolutely do that for the win if he so desired
