Mace Windu could use a power called shatterpoint where he could see the weakest spot of a thing and break it with the minimum amount of force (he also talks about his teacher being able to apply it to abstract concepts like a government)
The old lore got wild with powers sometimes. The Lando Calrissian trilogy from the 80s leaned extremely hard into force users being semi mythical wizard figures.
My headcanon is that the whole Jedi code is the way it is because they want young jedi to essentially lobotomize their own morality so that they don’t think too hard about the Republic. Maybe some “dark Jedi” in the past had really good reasons to be angry and fight against the republic, but they were smeared posthumously as being “Sith Lords” the same way John Brown gets called a terrorist. It goes well with the culty vibes that the Jedi Order gives off in the Prequel Trilogy.
It’s unfair how much cooler the Sith’s powers are.
In the old lore Jedi got really cool stuff too.

see thats sick and we never see it
It would have been even cooler if he’d ended up played by Tupac like Lucas originally wanted.
He’d be using shatterpoint on the corrupt Old Republic to usher in Jedi socialism
thats badass, sounds like some shit you’d find in the elder scrolls.

It’s weird that lying to stupid people is a jedi power. Also, every trick is a mind trick.
