He's clearly Powerful as hell with the Force in the new canon. Just waiting to see how he'll stack up in a Saber duel. Problem is there's no one of a high dueling caliber he could face to prove how good he is.
See, I probably would have preferred it if they went relatively low-key with the Force. Like in the movies and show. I really hope they don't get into the arms race the EU got into by trying to top the last thing with the biggerest Force thing ever. That's just a headache.
Same with the Saber stuff. I'd prefer it if it wasn't so retarded for stuff like pre vizla to going toe to toe with Maul to happen. Due to Force Users being ridiculously fast and strong and shit.
I'm just saying, this is their chance for a reset, they can unknot stuff that have become issues.
Normally I'd agree but this has VADER FLY THROUGH F***ING SPACE!
See I disagree. In fact, I think Vaderhavin his potential cut actually contradict the OT what with Yoda's "luminous beings" speech and the fact that Jedi are "far more powerful" when they have no bodies at all.
Dude, you complain about DE, Luke and Nihilus/Vitiate/Hord/Old Republic feats being ridiculous way more than me. AND that it breaks suspension of disbelief for a muggle to fight or beat a Force user. I was expecting you to wholeheartedly agree.
The Force is cooler as more mystical and subtle than as FORCE SMASH ALL THE THINGS!
Even with just movie feats, that would still be retarded.
The moment we saw Luke deflect lasers with his eyes closed and casually choke people into submission with a gesture in RotJ, the notion that any non-modified person (meaning not a cyborg, etc) without access to the force could hold their own against a force user in a straight up fight became patently ridiculous.

Mmmm yes, and yet Lucas disagrees. Aside from interviews the mere fact that Vader was stalemating a less powerful Kenobi suggests that he is not actually more powerful. Unless Kenobi became markedly more powerful as well, I don't think Vader as of ANH is stronger than Anakin in ROTS.
Yeah I hope Vader wrecks some starships in this book.

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
Eh, not to me. Precognition and TK are powerful advantages but it's still believable that someone skilled enough and with the right tools could fight them. Especially by stacking the deck in their favor and keeping them off balance. They're still only human. Adding great superhuman speed and strength into that is just stupid. They shouldn't even be capable of seeing the attacks let alone blocking them without getting their weapon blown out of their hands.
Why is the Force granting Jedi/Sith superhuman strength or speed ridiculous? It's not like the Force wasn't noted as some all powerful thing even in the 1st movie and there were degrees of superhuman speed and strength shown in the older movies too...so it's not like it was a recent thing that happened.
