(I don't have my RCR with me, and I haven't seen the movie recently, so bear with me a little. All I've got to work with is the SRD and memory right now. Correct me if I'm wrong.)  For example...During Episode I, Obi-Wan Kenobi is not quite a Jedi Knight.  Which means the book should have have him listed at about 6th or 7th level.  During his and Qui-Gon's fight with Darth Maul, we gets kicked off one catwalk and falls down to another.  He recovers himself, stands up, and leaps almost straight up back to the other walk.At best, Obi-Wan would have 10 ranks in Jump...  If he spent his skill points wisely, it'd be easy to say he could push it up to a total of +15 with modifers.Now, by the SRD rules, a measly 8 foot high jump with a 20' running start makes for a DC 32 (!) jump check.  Without the running start the DC doubles!To jump 8 feet straight up with a running start, Obi-Wan would need to roll a 17 or better on his d20.  He needs another +7 in Force bonuses to make it an even chance.  At a standstill, he can't do it on his own, and would need nearly +50 in Force bonuses to have even the slimmest chance of making it.But of course, in the movie, that jump is a lot higher than 8 feet, and Obi-Wan doesn't stand around for half a minute burning up vitality points (which he'll need later to fight Maul) activating Force powers to make the jump.  He just stands up and does it.</blockquote>
