Apologies for being such a plebian, but what the hell is LOE?
What is Project Zohar?

Here's to a certain mostly harmless nutcase.

Theyre both made as "legends" the power of the characters varies greatly from each ep and has exceptionally weak enemies.
Yoda or Mace in the battle of Coruscant arent as fast in melee combat as Mace was on Dantooine, and on Dantooine lucasarts said (I think) that it was being told from the memory of the kid rancher who gives Mace his bottle, look at the jump Mace makes at the end of the episode to reach the boy, it's much greater than any other he makes in the rest of the series including the one to the seismic hammer.
That is an interesting point. If they are taken fully as "legends" then the power discrepencies can be reconciled as the embelishments of the story teller, and CW wouldnt interfer with more reasonable literature (ie LOE.)
Funny thing is I prefed the CW level of jedi power and it's version of uber-Grievous.

Also isnt force push shown as more effective against mechanical objects? Grievous would probably "count" as mechanical for the push considering his structure so this may not be the most quantifiable way of assesing the force push power in total. :?

Nitpick: That's momentum. A Newton is equal to the force of a kilogram being accelerated to one meter per second in one second.

Much love for the Crown-man, but I must point out.. that's incorrect. A Newton alters the velocity of a one kilogram thingy by one meter per second, over a period of a second. A distinct difference.

Yeah you guys are right, I'm a dumbass, it's not as if Force doesn't equal mass times acceleration now is it?
