See, the movie rumor about moving mountains or whatever, that's not where the books went at all, but, Jedi and Sith are extremely powerful, and should be shown as such.
I dunno about the whole mountain thing, I mean, yes that would be a bit much, but I mean, Yoda picked a spaceship out of the mud at 700 years old. That's kinda powerful, ya know? Palpatine was shootin lightning from his fingers. Maul was an acrobat type. We didn't have Sith or Jedi flying or anything.
If done right, Luke were to rebuild the Jedi, say there are a planet full of Sith somewhere, then it would make sense to have extremely powerful Force users, that can do extraordinary things.
To me, the video games were the ones that went over the top a little, like Force Unleashed. Grabbing and throwing Star Destroyers, for some no name Jedi? Eh, that's a bit much. If Vader did it tho, would it bother me? Naw. I expect that, from someone that powerful.
If Luke leads a new Jedi for 40+ years, I EXPECT him to be one of he most powerful and successful Jedi/Force users ever. But he wasn't doin anything way out there. He was just very spiritually strong, very wise, very honed with his abilities to read minds, or project himself, and he did a few Force techniques that were sort of difficult to explain, but like I said, 40+ years, he should have that kind of power, skill, knowledge, ya know?
I don't know where JJ will go with it all, but I actually do want extremely enhanced, powerful, Force skills to be showcased, at some point within the new storyline. How/Who/When? That's up to them obviously. But I don't want just hand tricks, or "These aren't the droids you're looking for", or please pass the salt with your mind type boring ****, I want in depth stuff, old stuff, legacy stuff to start to trickle into the universe. The overall point is, The Force is a strong *** thing, and Jedi/Sith are adept at powers we know nothing about. They shouldn't be limited to boring stuff that was thought up in the 70's. They should be expanded upon to show what one might do, with the right mindset and training thru the Force.
Can't wait.
