"With their master otherwise occupied on the other side of the bridge, the remaining droids opened fire freely. Dozens of bolts streaked toward Ventress and Kenobi. Calmly, Ventress batted back some with her lightsaber; the others she simply redirected using the Force. Three more droids fell, twitching and sparking." - Christie Golden, Dark Disciple
I had this argument on this forum once before. Canon Jedi don't have barrier powers. They merely can use telekinesis to affect the air around the projectile or gas, or fire and part it to the side like Moses and the Red Sea
What do you think a barrier is? What do you think the definition of telekinesis is? To this day, that argument is still dumb as ****, literally by definition.
