The Jedi/Maul battle - Why didn't Obi Wan use...
I was wondering why Obi Wan didn't use Force-Speed to run through the shuttering laser blinds that held him back from assisting Qui Gon?
If he had then he could have saved his masters life.

Hmmm, but not too tired to leap from the lower platform to the upper.
Just to tired to assist his master, not buying that one...

I always hoped that Obi-Wan would make it past the forcefield but everytime he doesn't.

They can actually be wrong, but what they say is normally a good indication.
It;s not unreasonable that he used a lot of his strength to make that jump and was not strong enough to speed through the gates. After all, he WOULD have done if he could.

But would he? I would have thought he'd have to be terribly exausted to do so.
Why do we have to buy it yerssot? It's hardly canon now is it...

Wel, it is the only +/- official answer we have.
You must know that QGJ swet like a horse for a 5 minute battle with Maul, what must that give with Dual Of The Fates?

I always thought it was too dangerous for him to use it.
At the start of TPM Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon use it to escape. They are running away from danger. But if Obi-Wan had used it in the battle then he would have been heading straight into danger i.e Maul, at an incredible speed. It wouldn't have been hard for Maul to kill him.
Plus there was that great pit which he could have easily gone over. Then there was the energy gates which could have killed him if they shut at the wrong time.
And Jedi are only supposed to use the force for defence, not attack.
I think it's just a case of knowing when it's safe to use it. Neither Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan used it in the swamps when they were trying to escape the battle droids, probably because they didn't know where they were going.

in support of kj's response the starwars.com response was that the force rush was to innacuarte to use in such a confined space, particularly with the pit and shields etc. apart from this film has the force rush been used anywhere else, can't think of anywhere.

For what it's worth, I didn't really like the Force-Speed thing.

No, because it seemed "cheesy" (a word I'm getting fed up of).
It was more comic superhero than Star Wars.

I always liked it for the SNES in ESB when Luke can use the force to fly.  But then they took it out for ROTJ!

Really? I actually think that they are not powerful enough. I wanted it to take a little more than maybe 15 guys firing lasers at a Jedi at once to take him out (prophesizing for AOTC).

I don't know why I don't like it. It just seems too "X-men". I'd rather they were just great with a lightsabre.
