Amen. And the same goes for Palpatine, but I don't think it's quite an "enlightened" state so much as a too important to bother with fighting. Am I the only person who finds it weird that Palpatine didn't have guards stationed when Mace and the others showed up. He certainly had them in ROTJ, not to mention later in ROTS when Yoda shows up, as useless as they were.

EDIT: But I don't mind the telekenesis thing as long as it's someone really powerful using it. If every Jedi, including Luke and Ben, started whipping out telekenesis of large objects during fights all the time, that would be different. But, you know, minor things, like drawing a small, unfixed object like a lightsaber back to them is okay by me.
