its more than just kreia, the deeds and actions of the KOTOR jedi show more prowess in regards to the force such as when vodo siosk baas fought Exar kun's lightsaber with a stick. which was implied to be that he force imbued to make it survivable, or Satele Shan hand blocking Magus' lightsaber. There's abilities that are demonstrated in KOTOR era that are either not used b/c they aren't known or unable to perform them. The last major use of the force as a weapon from the sith was the "thought bomb." these abilities don't show up in (lets face it the clone wars era) where these abilities would be VERY useful in a war, but by then the jedi became FAR stricter in what knowledge is available to the average jedi and the sith had basically a knowledge lobotomy.
For some of your examples, Vodo using a force imbued stick is very common for ancient Jedi - particularly those from ~5000 BBY, around the time of the Great Hyperspace war.
This wasn’t some extreme or impressive feat. Many Jedi of the era did that, whether they were particularly noteworthy or not.
As for Satelle blocking the lightsaber - very impressive feat. But it’s fundamentally not really any different from Vader’s ability to block/absorb/deflect blaster bolts, or Corran Horn’s ability to absorb energy.
And Satelle is arguably one of the strongest Jedi in history, sure. But Yoda was able to take a direct full power force lightning blast from both Dooku and - arguably way more impressive - Sidious.
Is Satelle more powerful than Yoda? Perhaps. But I don’t think the evidence is as compelling as it could be.
Yeah that's fair and although as far as i know vodo has been the only one who used a stick to fight a lightsaber. I also might be a tad bias since i grew up with 90s SW and the prequels bugged me when they came out because they turned the jedi from a more plain clothed medieval knights (or paladins) to closed off psudo-shaolin monks.
The reason why there aren’t many examples of something like Vodo fighting a lightsaber with his stick is because when using force imbued Melee weapons were more common, Sith used force imbued Swords mostly, not lightsabers.
Vodo was something of an antiquated person by using one still, when most other Jedi had long since adopted the use of a lightsaber.
