http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mace_windu
Mace Windu was a male Korun Jedi Master of legendary status who was the Master of the Order in the days leading up to the Battle of Geonosis, after which he gave the title to Grand Master Yoda.[10] Hailing from the world of Haruun Kal, Mace Windu served as one of the last members of the Jedi High Council before the Great Jedi Purge. Serving on the Council, Windu was often regarded as second only to the Grand Master Yoda, though Windu was eight centuries Yoda's junior. Windu's wisdom and power were legendary, as were the weight of his words.
Widely considered one of the best swordsmen in the Jedi Order, Windu created Vaapad, the modern seventh form of lightsaber combat, and was one of only two people to fully master it, and the only one of those two not to fall to the dark side. It was said that the only opponents with a chance to out spar him were Yoda and Count Dooku.
Mace Windu served the Jedi Order his entire life, training numerous Jedi, including Depa Billaba, Echuu Shen-Jon, and Iguni. It was Master Windu who led 212 Jedi into combat at the Battle of Geonosis and defeated the infamous bounty hunter Jango Fett. He continued to serve the Republic throughout the Clone Wars, often on the frontlines of fierce fighting, where he led Republic forces as a High Jedi General. In the final days of the war, Windu confronted and defeated Darth Sidious in a difficult duel. Before he could finish off Sidious, however, he was ultimately betrayed by Anakin Skywalker and subsequently killed by Sidious, falling to his death from the window of Sidious's office.

Jacen Solo had great Force potential, which his uncle was able to sense shortly after his birth.[21] Once trained, he was considered broadly gifted in the Force, skilled in numerous areas.[63] By the time he was an adult, Jacen Solo demonstrated tremendous power in the Force. Solo could exercise powerful mental influence through the Force, compelling even powerful Force-users to obey him against their actively resisting will.[79] He was able to dispel Force illusions, even those erected by Lumiya.[11] However, he was not as powerful as his uncle in a direct contest of strength. Even as a fully-trained Sith Lord, Darth Caedus could be overwhelmed by Luke Skywalker's power, unable to break his uncle's Force grip.[85]
He and Jaina were able to manifest their powers very early on, using telekinesis as two-year-olds to retrieve items from high shelves and make other mischief.[6] By the time he was five, he could use exceptionally tightly-focused telekinesis to move air molecules rapidly, heating them and creating a glow, and to slow water molecules enough to cause them to freeze.[29] However, he had great difficulty with levitating objects in the air and sustaining their motion.[30] This disability was quickly eliminated by his training, and by 26 ABY, Solo was able to launch a telekinetic whirlwind launching a barrage of debris at opponents.[42][63]
Even as a developing fetus in the womb, Jacen Solo was contacted by his mother through the Force, though he only expressed rudimentary sensations and emotions. After birth, he was able to respond to these Force messages through the bond he had with his mother. He had a bond with Jaina as well, which was especially strong on account of their twin heritage and time together in the womb and afterward.[1] From childhood, they were able to communicate with each other through the Force, rendering much conversation superfluous; they were also able to feel what the other felt.[6][29] After his return from his five-year journey, Solo used his control of the Force to limit the twin bond, preventing Jaina from sensing him through it except when he wanted her to, and limiting what she could sense from him even then.[17] During the First Battle of Dubrillion, Solo was able to link himself mentally with his siblings, sharing perceptions and thoughts through the Force in order to fight with superior coordination. The meld went beyond the heightened bonding he had sometimes employed with Jaina in combat situations, to the point where their minds seemed to work as one.[7] During the Myrkr mission, the strike team expanded on this concept, with Solo and his great empathic powers serving as the focus for a seventeen-Jedi battle meld. The battle meld worked in much the same way as the meld at Dubrillion, allowing the Jedi to share thoughts. Under Solo's control, they became nearly one mind, and he was at times liable to lose track of his own body, submerged in the thoughts of the others. Through the bond, he could shift the feelings of some Jedi to others, drawing the proper emotion from one Jedi to reinforce others.[66]
As a two-year-old, Jacen Solo was able to speak with animals through the Force, understanding their thoughts and making himself understood to them.[26] By the time he was five, he could direct the behavior of insects, and "make friends" of creatures, convincing them to do his bidding.[29] His empathy did not extend only to animals; Solo was skilled in detecting emotions and understanding what others were feeling.[34] He could use that connection in the other direction, influencing the minds of others. In addition to standard mind tricks, Solo could use the Force to project a sensation of dread to others, driving them away, and exert a powerful mind trick would could compel even a talented Jedi. He was also able to fool the perceptions of fellow Jedi and project a false Force presence, even making himself feel like multiple individuals.[13]
Using his empathetic skills, Solo was able to form a bond with the slave seed Vergere implanted in him, giving him access to Yuuzhan Vong life by means of a sense analogous to, or part of, the Force. With it, he could influence Yuuzhan Vong life much as he did other life through the Force.[13] He could not, however, access the Force and his Vongsense at the same time.[10]
He also had a natural talent with those Force skills involved in the manipulation of the body. Solo was able to use the Force to dull pain.[43] He was also talented in healing, able to skillfully put others into healing trances, among other healing powers.[63] He could exercise precise control over his own bodily functions, manipulating blood flow and organ performance in order to modify his physical condition and adapt to his environment or wounds. Tapas, the technique of keeping warm within a cold environment, was among these practices of bodily control.[10] Solo could also influence others, putting them to sleep or lending them strength.[70][71]
Solo had a natural talent for fencing, and was considered one of the best duelists in the Praxeum shortly after getting his lightsaber.[51][67] By the time he was a Sith Lord, he was a deadly duelist, able to engage multiple Jedi at a time and outfight Jedi battlemaster Kyle Katarn.[83] The Jedi judged few but Luke Skywalker to be on his level; ultimately, Jaina Solo, with Skywalker's assistance, was able to defeat him.[4]
In addition to his special affinities, Solo had access to a broad slate of Jedi skills after training. By the time Solo was five, he had been trained by Skywalker to erect a Force barrier and defend himself.[29] Using the Force, he could jump great heights, and also slow his fall.[63] He could use the Force to "see" for him, and had the predictive ability common to Jedi, sensing danger before it happened.[43] By 40 ABY, he was able to receive specific brief visions of future hazards. Furthermore, Solo could probe the future, seeing the possible outcomes of various actions at will.[8]
Jacen Solo achieves oneness with the Force.
During his battle with Onimi, Solo experienced a moment of oneness with the Force, in which he was united with its power.[73] He was briefly transfigured as a being of pure Force energy, achieving deeper unity with the Force than any Jedi in history.[75] Jedi historian Tionne Solusar described him as "briefly transformed into the most powerful manifestation of the Force on record."[78] He could counteract any of Onimi's actions and neutralize his poisons, finally destroying and melting Onimi through the power of the Force and his own toxins. To observers, Solo appeared to grow in size and age five years in the moment, bathed in a glow of light.[73]
As a mature Jedi, Solo mastered many specialized or advanced techniques. He could absorb energy, including blaster bolts, through the Force, and safely dissipate it.[13] He could deflect bolts rather than absorbing them as well.[16] Solo stunned enemies, even Yuuzhan Vong, using a Force power which manifested as a green, lightning-like discharge from his fingertips.[10] By the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Solo could neutralize toxins and manipulate substances on a molecular level, as Vergere had been able to.[73]
As a teenager, he could close himself off from the Force, rendering himself difficult to sense in it and preventing any guidance from the Force reaching him.[63] He later developed this ability further, returning from his five-year sojourn with the capability to cloak himself in the Force almost completely, cutting off even the most powerful other Jedi from detecting his presence and masking his feeling
