We could all set around thinking about it on our own but it is much more fun to discuss it as a group, get other peoples point of view.

I think it's cool to assume these things and drop it unless someone comes up with anwser that we all can except, which imo will never happen, we will always look at it in different ways and that's good

remember that the star wars saga is one of the best ferrie tails ever written (atleast imo) so quit it plz
Why bother having a discussion forum then? We come together to discuss Star Wars. You are of course entitled to your opinion, however the comments you make above are yours, let others express theres. IMHO-OC.....

The explanation at sw.com didn't make any sense. The reasons I and a few others gave were mutch better.

Read the beginning of the thread.
Obi-Wan didn't use it because it was too dangerous. He'd be running straight into either the doors,the pit or even worse- Maul.

I don't see what's wrong with the SW.com theory. And Jedi have perfect timing; I think Obi-Wan would have been safe enough.

That was my original point, but they had been battling for a while, Obi-Wan was breathing hard. Perhaps he didn't feel confident enough to make the charge, and it probably cost the life of his master...

Well, a mix of all of it then, I suppose. Hindsight is always a good judge, of course!

with the normal running he could stop whitin a metre...
AND he saw the beams allready, so he could stop in time...
why not with the Force-speed?

No he couldn't. Watch the scene again. When the doors close he almost slides across the floor because he's trying so hard to stop.
There is NO WAY he could use the force speed and then stop in time for either the doors or the pit. He barely manages to stop as it is.

But more importantly there is Maul. Jedi have good reflexes but so have Sith. Obi-Wan would be running straight into a lightsabre fight which probably isn't the smartest move. When Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon use the force speed on the ship they are running AWAY from danger. Not straight into it.

Another question is, why didn't Qui-Gon use it when he landed on Naboo to get away from the droid tanks? The only reason I've heard that's beleivable is that he didn't know where he was going and he was on dangerous ground. He had to step carefully because he was running trough a swamp.

So basically the force-speed is good to get away from danger but not to run into it.

The "Obi-Wan was too tired" idea doesn't work because he still managed to defeat Maul and during that fight he was doing summersaults and jumped out of the pit.


But this is one of the reasons I didn't like the new Jedi powers.

there are things you can do to stop quickly: smacking in the wall for one...

The reason QGJ didn't used it while being chased by the tanks was because he didn't saw what was on the ground and he had to evade the trees and stuff.

If you look at him he looks angry, which gave him the strength to kill him

That's exactly what I'm saying. Qui-Gon didn't use it because it was too dangerous and that's the same reason Obi-Wan didn't use it.

You think he should have ran into the wall to stop himself? confused
