Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Also known as: Star Wars: Force Unleashed [UK]

The Force is overrated: FACT!

Oh yes it is! 9 reasons why the Jedi superpower is a right Yoda rubbish!

Words: Stephen Pierce, GamesRadar US

Which Wars?
The Empire Strikes Back

Yes, yes, he’s getting on a bit. But really, just watch as he lifts the X-Wing from the swamp. It’s a right old strain on him. All wheezing and miserable. And he’s supposed to be at the top of the tree Jedi-wise.

Also check out Yoda balancing on Luke’s feet. You don’t need Force powers to do that, just ask anyone unfortunate enough to have suffered through a performance of Cirque de Soleil. And when Luke gets distracted by his sinking X-Wing Yoda goes arse-over-tit. So he can lift an X-Wing off the ground with his mind but he can’t hover?

Judgment on The Force: Too inconsistent

Which Wars?
A New Hope

The climax of the first (fourth) movie. All the other Rebel pilots have been twatted by the Empire and it’s all down to lady-boy Luke. So what happens, Obi-Wan starts twittering in his head so he disconnects the targeting computer and concentrates. Ka-blammo! He hits the mark so it’s straight off home for galactic tea and space cakes. But hang on. Didn’t Luke say in the pre-attack meeting that it couldn’t be that hard as he used to nail whomp rats on his t-16 back home and according to him, they’re not much bigger than two meters. So does that mean he could of done it without The Force? Certainly sounds like it.

Judgment on The Force: Not even needed

LOL Nice. I got one, When Obi-Wan force pushes Greivous up into that balcony in the last video, would it really be that hard just to throw the path of his vehicle off a little bit so it falls off the walkway?

so true, and with all those giant vehicles and machines you'd think they could just use the force to cut some wires and break everything

You see, it not force that over rated, but Jedi.

Translation: the Jedi could blow up planets, but none of them are mentally strong enough. So you would need a super Jedi or God with Jedi powers to do it. Or an autistic person, as TV has shown us in the Eureka series, a Sci-Fi channel original.

Oh, and your forgetting that there is some strategy in what they do. Yoda takes his fine time to lift the column to make Count Dooku underestimate him. Ben goes emo cuz Luke shows up, and Ben can only truly help if he leaves his physical body.
