If by "nameless guy in the force unleashed" you mean the main character, he actually has a whole first and last name as well as a code name. But yeah, that game takes force powers to a ridiculous point. In one part of the game he crupples up an AT-ST into a ball like a piece of paper. Somebody mentioned that the Force Unleashed was not cannon, just a fun stylized game, but I believe Lucas himself said that the game is canonical, as he had a great deal of creative input into it.

That's what I'm talking about. When you write characters so they are overpowered, you dig a hole for yourself. You can either show them being smart, in which case, they can never be in any real danger because they are so powerful, which makes for a dull story. Or, you can put them into dangerous situations, but then it just makes them look dumb by not using their powers to easily overcome the danger. Good writing strikes a balance across the board, between power levels and situations that the characters may encounter.
