[@Zugzwang] Jedi are trained to always keep up a force barrier, with that active, most force attacks can't get through, however, it can be overpowered, as demonstrated by Obi-Wan Kenobi in everything he's ever been in.

Most force users prefer not to do the easy kills, Sith because they'd rather watch their victims suffer, and Jedi because HONOR!!! [s]I don't like the Jedi if you couldn't tell.[/s]
