I think some people here have been watching too many flashing lights and ridiculous saber moves that have been able to be implemented simply because of our own improved technology, and are assuming that these OR characters are simply much more powerful in order to pull off such moves.

This is an incredibly unfair and skewed measuring stick to use on force-users from different time frames. There is plenty of material to show that the most powerful Jedi/Sith occurred right around RoTS -> RoTJ. Sadly, the movies didn’t have the tech to make them as blindingly powerful as you might like (I haven’t, but read the EU books if you want that). I find this idea laughable, as even a thread comparing Vilgate to Sidious finally clearly threw the ball in Palp’s favor.

This thread was over as soon as Aurbere posted anyway, so...
