The Jedi/Maul battle - Why didn't Obi Wan use...

How would you prefer for them to be? Just knights with "laserswords?"

Yes I would. There was nothing wrong with the powers they had in the OT.

OB1 and GQJ were in a FIGHT!!! If you don't do anything else but defend you are going to get killed, you don't want that now do you??
Luke DID stroke first, but wasn't Vader the first one to ignite his sabre? Any way, it is not about that, defence means: don't storm up to a guy and cut him open, first try to talk; but against a Sith that is difficult.
Luke also stroke at the emperor, but watch the movie and you'll see that the emperor is trying to get Luke to the Dark Side, and Lukes gets angry with him and strikes.

Yerssot is right. QGJ and Obi didn;t pick the fight with Maul. But once battle was joined, they have to fight all the way!" No point going half-hearted,.

Like I said, don;t take Yoda's comment so literally!

You should know by now that EVERYBODY in the movie has a certain point of view, this togather with there own interpretations of stuff.

Yoda's comment just meant that you don't attack innocent people or lose it and go mad. Anakin, you naughty boy.

Obi-wan didn't use his speed to get to Qui-Gon because he's a selfish prick.

🙄

😄

😉

That's the only thing I can think of! Ob1 was pissed because Qui-Gon chose Anikan over him. So he thought, "Screw this guy! I'm gonna let him die!" 😄

🙄

I bet to put Qui-Gons creamation fire out, Obi-wan peed on the ashes!

about why not using the force rush I agree with king jedi and tomacco dude do something for a change
ob1 devoted his life to serve the force and the republic so did qui-gon jinn. ob1 honoured qui-gon jinn and did all he could to help him

(btw your idea makes no sence
why would ob1 scream like hell when qui-gon was killed there was no-one there to fake for just him and dm and the other thing is he wouldn't got all pumped up to killin' dm if he didn't give a damn about qui-gon)

Good said F!!

And btw, the grandmaster himself: GL told us this when someone asked it in the JC on starwars.com
He was tired! He fought DM and he force-jumped; if he would run he would be too tired and he could be shred to pieces with that red thing poping up

I don;t think To was being 100% serious there... I think the 'he was knackered' explanation is the generally accepted thing now.

Of course i wasn't being serious.

he wasn't knackered, the force rush is to innacurate a skill to use, he might have run into the laser doors, he didn't seem to tired after doing it the first time.

Lucasfilm officially says knackered; seems to fit; that'll be what is accepted.

That was said months ago! Why would anybody listen now?

He wasn't too tired to fight Maul in the most ferocious fight we've seen. 😕 The official site isn't cannon anyway.
