Just then Obi-Wan Kenobi turned his head. He seemed to be looking straight at Luke. A smile was on his face. This was Vader's chance. With the speed of light he slashed at Ben. The blow should have cut the old man in half. It sliced right through his robe. But the Jedi was gone. There was nothing left of him. Just two pieces of cloth lying on the floor.

Classic Star Wars: A New Hope

which means that anyone who can block a serious attack from Vader must be faster than light. 😎

But how often do these "serious" strikes happen in open combat? Does anyone get a chance to swing as hard and fast as they possibly could in a situation like his and obi-wan's? He clearly attacked after obi-wan decided to give himself to the Force.

EDIT: And, yes. There are many other people credited with that level of speed (Starkiller, Sorasu Taalon, Mace Windu, Sidious, Luke Skywalker, etc.)

Aryn Leneer scaling gives even the likes of Decieved Malgus MFTL speeds, but then again I've never believed in the speedblitz argument.

"Faster than light" or "as fast as light" is the textbook hyperbole example of "moved very fast."

If you Google "hyperbole," I guarantee you will find similar examples.

Lasers exist in stat wars such as I fives finger lasers which he states move just under 300 thousand kilometers per second and Vader has blocked them

Even Jax pavan has preformed such feats.
Jedi move spaceships in combat at Relativistic speeds. etc

Yeah. I don’t think it’s literal but I do think FTL reflexe actions are possible with the Force.
