or the emperor? most powerful master couldn't just fly back up?
think about force situations they are always stationary. like fighting , but when they want to use force...Stop, reach out hand, use force, then fight again.

Yoda concentrated his arse off to lift the XWing out of the swamp. Maybe flying is too dangerous because the amount of concentration required and lots of Jedi fall to their death trying it.

In the Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith story, there was a Jedi that was in a dog fight and he had to eject before getting splatter all over the place. He safely landed to the ground without the use of a parachute.

I still don't know why Jedi mind tricks don't work on Jaba. So many questions.

It has to do with the race of the Hutts. It has something to do with their biology.

That's what I'm talking about. If Yoda can levitate and other Jedi can execute controlled falls, is it really a huge leap in logic to assume that some Jedi can fly?

im sure an anlein species could fly, and most jedi cant use the force to move huge objects, only super powerful ones

Some probably did at the beginning of the use of the force. I'm talking back before the Sith split off. The Sith are big fans of knowledge and power just like the Jedi. Their problem is they want it now without full understanding the consequences.

So I take it that you have read some of the expanded universe fiction?

Palpatine does it in Battlefront 2

I used to collect some of the comics when I was younger and read Shadows of the Empire and the Thrawn Trilogy. Other than that, I hit up the Star Wars Wiki site when I'm bored.

from my expansive research (googled and read a sentence) it seems that from one of the books, there is an explanation that Luke said applying the Force to one's own body requires an entirely more difficult level of self-control than applying it to external objects,

Wouldn't doubt it. You'd probably rip your body to pieces if you weren't careful.

So if a powerful enough Jedi actually took the time to hone his flying skills, it's possible.
But would never be a common thing.

Must've never been any peace time then. Because that's all I'd be doing.

I believe it's in either The Courtship of Princess Leia or the first Jedi Academy trilogy book, it's been probably 15 years since I read them, but I remember Luke at one point attempting to levitate himself and wondering if that's how his Jedi ancestors got the name Skywalker.
I could be way off though. But that comes to mind.

In the Dark Forces Saga (a series of RPG modules), Maw had the power of "force flight", but he also had no legs and a floated around using a repulsorlift.
Dark Forces is known for canonical conflicts, though, so I'm not sure I would take this as precedence.
My outlook is that telekinesis is a fairly uniform ability, meaning that ripping a being in half is equivalent to levitating a pebble. They are all applications of the same ability, and flying would be no different. Yoda established that the spatial dimensions of an object to be manipulated are unimportant, as the telekinetic must transcend assumptions based on appearance. I think Nihilus even pulled his own flagship out of a gravity well in KOTOR II. There are other examples of seemingly tremendous feats accomplished through force kinesis. How impressive they appear because of scope or context doesn't really matter, though, if Yoda is correct about the irrelevance of physical properties.

The simple answer is that it takes to much concentration and energy for a jedi to have continues flight. They can leap and glide for short distances when faced with imminent danger or death.
Anyone who has Played Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast can attest to this. You can Force Jump, but it's rather brief. More like taking a jump on the Moon where gravity is less.
