The Consular’s powers go far beyond meditation and mediation, and nothing illustrates this as vividly as their graceful movements in battle. Whether beset by an army of assassin droids or caught in the middle of soured negotiations, the Jedi Consular fights with an open conduit for the Force; manipulating massive forces to disable or even destroy their enemies.
So 'Thor can disable or destroy an army of assassin droids. 👆
The only problem is 'Thor has never been surrounded by a legitimate army of assassin droids, so this is just flowery hype for a game-class character, which is what the website and trailers primarily serve a purpose for.
I believe you brought up how the feats in the game-trailers meant to hype the product up should be taken with a grain of salt, recently? The website should be the same.
It's still just for commercial sakes, more than anything, because if 'Thor really is meant to be facing an army of assassin droids, then, well, EA has weird definitions of the word "army", I suppose.
Also, Barsen'Thor knows techniques like Electronic Manipulation that can disable droids, so... yeah 🙂

It's not hard to accept, it's just it completely seem to invalidate some limits placed within sources. Like I can post quotes about Obi being a respectable fraction of lightspeed, and argue he blitzes Barsen'Thor, but that'd just be stupid.
Also, we don't know how s/he takes down an army. We know s/he uses the Force for it, but is it just army one-shotting TK, or is it her/him battling his way through it with TK, lightsabers skills and other techniques ala Mace Windu?
Because of it's the latter -- and the more likely -- I'd argue Kenobi can definitely do it.

That doesn't prove he'd blitz anything, since it isn't relative. That just brings everybody up more.
It says manipulating massive forces to disable or destroy. So it's not lightsaber attacks, just telekinesis.

It is relative to him, and would only bring up Tyranus, Anakin, Sidious, Mace or Yoda, sure... But not Barsen'Thor.
Massive forces is more than just telekinesis, however. And s/he obviously isn't one-shotting armies with a single telekinetic blast. It is likely it's just continuous burst of TK to take out squad after squad, which I can definitely see Kenobi doing if he actually decides to unleash his TK.
1. It'd bring up any respectable Jedi, unless you can explain why Jedi in the PT era suddenly have vastly greater perceptions.
2. I didn't say it was necessarily a one-shot, but it isn't "obvious" that that's not the case. There's just nothing else identified, but presumably, it's quick. Not too many telekinetic blasts.

Even though the quote is only relevant to Kenobi? Hardly. It'd bring the PTers up a few notches, but certainly not TOR, who has a habit of making non-Force sensitives capable of killing Jedi and Sith.

Yeah, it is obvious when HoT, who is meant to rival/surpass 'Thor, needs the aid of Valkorion to one-shot a squad of non-Force sensitives easily. So it wasn't a one-shot, and there's no quick about it, just that 'Thor manages to finally destroy them after a struggle.
Given padawan Annie has fought droid armies, and murked them similarly, and Kenobi stalemated a more powerful version of the character, I'm willing to argue it is within Obi's capabilities to kill squad after squad of fodder.
