They can read minds, sense danger, move objects through space, see the future, and come back as ghosts.
They are almost like Gods. So when one of them screws up, we find it hard to believe. When the entire council screws up, we think it's just ridiculous. How can people who possess these powers all of a sudden start to suck?
The jedi being clouded by the dark side is a lame way to not bother explain how a large number of semi-perfect beings could not sense Palpatine.
The ability to come back as a ghost should be removed. Reading minds should be nerfed a bit and same with sensing events.
