Why do those most powerful in the force not use it in physical ways?
Perhaps that is the way of the Dark Side.  It seems that the Force is
related in concept to the Tao (pronounce T as ( T + D ) / 2 ) -- the
fundemental rule of power then would be ``don't just DO something!  Stand
there.'' -- although seeking POWER would also be contrary to the ways of
the Force.

Regarding the suggestion that Luke ``Son of Skywalker'' is  the most powerful
of all the Jedi -- maybe, if we exclude the Emperor.  Once again, I say that
the final battle between Luke and old Orange-Eye was just TOO physical.  I
could have bought it if he just STOOD and threw sparks, but having him chase
Luke around like he was trying to punish a bad puppy was not really believable.

And, yes, I think that the M. Falcon really should have been destroyed ...
but by showing that Han lacks the gift of prophecy we can discredit him
forever (I hope) as being an unaware Jedi.
