Where a P10 telepath trained in this technique is a danger to a P12, and a P12 telepath can kill a mundane in an instant. A very nasty bit of business.
Didn't that require contact, a restrained victim, and far more time than it would take for a Jedi to separate a P12's head from his body?
No, no, and probably yes. After all I did specify mundane's didn't I?

IIRC, in the books, a Sith Lord can wipe minds.
Yep in KJA's shitology, but the Darth Maul reference is more prelevant in that it was against a telepath and not a mundane. Hey I believe Anakin (or any Jedi) takes this one hands down, I mean no telepath has ever been able to hold conversations at a distance we have seen in Star Wars, both in the movies and in the EU. So clearly Jedi telepathy is a hell of a lot more powerfull then any telepath.

The whole Mind Trick, thing is what people keep misunderstanding. It's called a Mind Trick, because the Jedi just plants a suggestion in the target's mind. If they are weak willed, then the suggestion is followed, if they are strong willed then they don't. But what is important is that the Jedi don't take control (or even try to take control) over the target's mind. It would be a violation of their ideals. Anakin though isn't bound by any of that, he would be in there and re-arranging thoughts and minds in a second. Much like C'boath in Zahn's triology.

Or Palpatine, manipulating the morale and loyalty of the entire Imperial armed forces (many trillions of living beings), not to mention wiping the memory of an SSD being buried on Coruscant from the minds of millions of eyewitnesses.
