I agree. However, I suspect that at least SOME of the reasons they are ineffectual were intentional on the part of Lucas. I blink in amazement at myself for saying it, since my opinion of Lucas isn't terribly high, even with this movie actually being pretty good. But I think his point was that "things are out of whack" with the Force and its practitioners. It's easy to point at the Sith and say, "There's the out-of-whack-age" but it's also in the Jedi and how hidebound, inflexible, and disconnected they've become over the centuries.
