Your brain and body are predominately water, so you could probably manipulate people through that.
Probably? There's zero basis to that claim or idea. The only blood-bending we saw was rudimentary, crude stuff where entire limbs or the body was moved. There was not even a hint that it could be used to manipulate peoples' minds. All it could do was move people around like puppets, which Jedi could do as well IN ADDITION to manipulating peoples' minds.

It also has lots of non-aggressive potential, such as building thing at will, healing, controlling life, etc.
Basis for the controlling life claim? Or are you just talking about plant life? Because Jedi can control plant life (even causing plants to rapidly grow) and influence animals.

Oh, and Avatars tend to live into their hundreds, and they are (apparently) just normal humans.
Into their hundreds meaning what? If we're talking Aang's lifespan, he was frozen in a block of ice. If we're talking 110, 115, 120, humans can live that long normally. If by into their hundreds, you mean hundreds of years, Jedi can do that as well.
Otherwise, everything sounds like things that Jedi can do except Jedi have more powers on top of that. Jedi have an insane number of abilities which encompass basically everything. Force powers could even be used to create monsters out of other living creatures.
the part about living into their hundreds.
I think that poster meant King Bumi, but if we were going off of King Bumi, we have to keep in mind that he was a talented bender and lived to be 112 due to his power I believe. He also was one of the stronger earth benders in his old age seeing as how he can bend earth with just his face.
I would attribute King Bumi's longevity to his physical fitness. Old dude is yolked.

like create fire and fly
To be fair, The Avatar can create and control elements.
Even if we use EU fire powers, I'm assuming the Avatar has far better control. ---
