It was only now that I was researching Star Wars to make CRTS that I realized how skilled trained Force users are? In terms of combat technique.
One of the first trainings for Force-sensitive children (less than 9 years old) is to block blaster beams with all their senses blocked, relying on pure instinctive Force reaction, a reaction that allowed Luke to hit the weak point of the Death Star that was considered impossible to hit even for Sci-fi computers.
So we have Padawans who are > these young people in the initial phase of training, and soon after we have Jedi > padawans (generalizing, because we have examples of padawans sometimes being more skilled than their masters, as in the case of Obi-Wan).
And then we have General Grievous, a non-sensitive who, just by pure skill/technique (without having any supernatural powers), was able to fight and defeat several Jedi at the same time. These same Jedi who, in addition to being as skilled as I mentioned above, have the aid of instinctive reaction, telepathy, precognition, and Force Sense.
And then we have the superior level of skill like Obi-Wan who defeated General Grievous in direct lightsaber combat relatively quickly.

Seriously, after my attempt at a canon cosmology blog, I think I'll try to make a Jedi/Sith art blog or something.
