SWC Are Jedi/Sith "overpowered"

So, I've been thinking lately...
I checked out all these force powers Jedi and Sith can use and it seems like they can do ANYTHING. Like, fly, be invisible, teleport, change their looks etc. And even in the movies, they don't have these powers, but still droids etc. have no chance against jedi, because they are so much better in battles. I mean, do you think their powers should be more limited?
Btw, sorry if this kinda thread is already made.

 

Only in the micro series are they overpowered

 

They seem a bit overpowered to me.

 

It seems they are as powerful as the genre allows them to be. I agree that the level of their feats in the animated series, micro-series, and video games (The Force Unleashed and The Old Republic trailers) are much more exaggerated than in the films. The novels and most comics are a good balance though.

 

Not everyone can wield a Force Storm. And as we found out with Yoda against Palpatine they can burn out their power.

 

Dark Empire Palpatine was definitely powerful

 

They are overpowered in the EU, but not in the movies.

 

I think it depends on when certain pieces of fiction and comics were written. Like a lot of the stuff in the Exar Kun story line was(to me, at least) pretty unbelievable. I think sometimes writers can write themselves into a corner and need a device to get their protagonist out of a tight spot. Most of the time it seems that Jedi and sith are fairly well balanced.

One thing that always kind of annoyed me in TCW was when main characters did not use abilities that they used plenty of other times just so that the story can become more dire.

I'd have to say that it's got to be tough to be consistent when writing for inherently powerful characters though, so I have to cut some slack to most SW writers out there.

I thought the character Kerra Holt in the Knight Errant novel came across as 'Super Jedi', and for that reason I didn't really care for the book.

 

Starkiller is to op in TFU.

 

It's true there are many Force powers Jedi/Sith can learn. But very few are actually powerful enough to learn how to wield more than a handful of them. Super Jedi/Sith are rare. Or at least they should be.
