[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6088358, member: 92305"] I'd completely disagree, citing the scene with Yoda (as is reflected in the scene in the graphic novel, too) where the Jedi Master tells Luke that size does not matter. To me, he's not just talking about weight and mass, but also telling Luke that anything is possible with the Force if it is used correctly. Then, again, in the prequels (Episode III), Palptine/Darth Sidious tells Anakin that he learned how to use the power of the Dark Side to bring back the dead. Was he lying and manipulating Anakin with this? Definitely manipulating, but maybe lying. Who knows. Maybe the upcoming sequels will play in on that and bring the Emperor back. EDIT: Also, the feeling I got was that we haven't been shown all that a Force Wielder can do. This is backed up in the movies by showing us new Force powers that we haven't seen before. Remember, we don't see the telekinetic power of the Force until Episode V. In A New Hope, we see Ben change the stormtrooper's minds in Mos Eisley, and we see him make some troopers on the Death Star think they hear something, making them look in a different direction so that he can get away. We also see Ben "feel" the deaths on Alderaan when it was destroyed--plus his hoodwinking the Tusken Raiders. We saw Vader almost kill an Imperial Officer by crushing his throat, with the Force. With Luke, we don't see much, except him playing with the remote with the blast shield on his helmet down, and, of course, his using the Force to guide the proton torpedoes into the exhaust port on the surface of the Death Star. As the film moved on, we were given the idea (or, at least I was) that there was a lot of things that you can do with the Force. That's why, when I first saw Empire, I thought it totally natural that Luke would use the Force to pull his lightsaber to his hand early in the beginning of the show. Then, we see Luke lift his X-Wing from the swamp...we see Vader rip machinery out of the walls and throw it at Luke. We see Luke and Vader jump and flip around in superhuman maneuvers. That's also why, with Luke now being a Jedi Master, I have no problem at all seeing Luke, 8 years after A New Hope, use his mastery of the Force to crush the head of a walker. [/QUOTE]
