If Obi Wan can do THIS...
>>64089085
...why didn't he do it HERE?
Doesn't seem to me like a very good friend.

Wait what
I don't remember that force speed s hit w hen I watched the prequels last. Is that some director's cut shit?
What kind of shitty hairstyle is that?
>>64089471
The High Ground
>>64089471
It's to keep Qui-Gon's jizz out of his hair when he gives him a suck.
>>64089471
Padawan braid, probably ripped-off from one of Lucas' samurai movies.
>>64089432
That has nothing to do with what I said.
>>64089085
>>64089112
Is that 1999 again?
>>64089085
Has anyone else ever done the force speed again? Why wouldn't he run towards the droids while they were rolling and kill them before they'd start the shield generators? Qui Gon was busy but he saw them well in advance.
>>64089492
HIGH GROUND!
HIGH GROUND!
ALLAHU HIGH GROUND!
BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT THE HIGH GROUND!
>>64089517
I fucking wish...
>>64089112
Because that's part of the Star Wars feel that made the prequels so great, and TFA so terrible.
>>64089112
would it kill Lucas if he told his actors not to twirl the lightsaber for like 3 fucking seconds especially when sprinting??

It's like you are just now realizing that force powers are only lukewarm plot device catch apps and have no roots in their actual practicle apication.
It's 2015, come on

They're no match for droidickers

We know literally nothing about this technique. Maybe it's simply too dangerous for a situation like >>64089112 where he could fall into an endless hole if he runs a few feet too far or gets sliced in pieces by those red barriers if he isn't careful.
/shitthread
>you'll never watch Episode I for the first time again
>>64089625
I like this idea, but you could also say he used up his Force reserve running to get there
>>64089834

>>64089545
Padme, I'm Jedi.
Vader?
>>64089834
So we're supposed to believe that Obi-Wan has enough control to flip over Darth Maul after hanging over a ledge, grab a saber, and cut him in half, but can't run a few yards without falling into a pit?
>>64089112
Because when there's holes and sabers about, the first thing i'm going to do, is run at all that death, at break neck speeds. thanks dude, you've just made stupid old me feel less stupid.
i know you're trolling and all but still.
>>64089112
that's why
>>64090000
who was their opponent, a sith lord with uknown capabilities. if you'd remember, Obi Wan was the wait to see what his opponent can do type. His fight versus Dooku said as much. to run head long into twirling sabers and not knowing how his opponent would react or his master, what if qui gon jumped backwards or flipped another way or something else occurred, maybe maul throws a hidden light saber at him. why move faster and react slower when you can move normally and react superhumanly?
>>64090399
>>64090462
>>64089622
He could use the force speed for literally a fraction of a second, it would be enough to get him into the fight.
>>64089112
>>64089625
>tfw every Star Wars character was operating at super speed and we're seeing it from their point of view
>>64089545
Why didn't Obi-Wan just stay right there?
Anakin would have been forced to come up to him and Obi-Wan has the highground, standing on the landing stairs of the ship
>>64089622
He could just use force slow down, idiot.
>>64090649
>yfw why the prequel fights look so choreographed and fake is because they are prescient wizards who are trying to predict the other's move
>>64089112
With the droids they were able to force slow down before they hit the walls.
>>64090506
>>64091367
yes, they could force run then slow down, and so could Maul. they had faster reflexes than normal beings and so did Maul. Again I ask, where is the benefit of running head long into danger when he could simply run normally and gauge the battle between his master and his opponent than running into with the idea of whatever happens happens?
>>64090399
Why wouldn't you try to cut through the wall to damage the laser emitters?
>>64091613
yes, because I'm sure Plasma could not, or would not complete a circuit in a high powered conduit.
>>64091613
They might be important
>>64091613
If you've ever played metal gear solid, you'll know that doing that will give you a game over.
>>64091508
He just had to run enough to get close to the fight before the fucking things closed again, he didn't have to try to tackle Maul
>>64091960
>If you've ever played metal gear solid
I haven't and never have played video games, thank you very much. Now fuck off, >>>/v/eddit
>>64090399
>this webm exists
>>64092001
he ran normally. why would he run super fast which would severely slow down his reaction time? it's better to run normally in case Maul tried something unknown. Obi Wan knew enough about sith to know they had lots of moves. he knew about the lightning but what if they pulled another ability?
in the second movie he told anakin to wait because he was the cautious type.
>>64089085
>>64089112
You know, I thought the same thing as a 9 year old walking out of the theater.

0/10, you're just butthurt
>>64092633
no. Maul forgot about Jinn's saber. If you'd remember, when Obi Wan accessed the force, Maul looked down at him with, "he's using the force but what in the hell is he doing?" Obi wan reached out and gradually, sought out and noticeably found the saber. When he got the saber to move, he looks at Maul with a satisfied smirk and Maul looked at him inquisitively with, "Now what's that look about?" Obi wan jumps behind Maul but Maul's thinking, "Awesome, I'm gonna dice you up now!" And then he's cut in half and looks with, "What the fuck, he didn't have a saber or anything because i kicked it in the hole, where did he...OH SHIT the tall guy's saber!"
reddit really needs to fuck off and leave
>>64089085

>>64092768
Fucking WHAT.
Its a plot convenience. You know how I know? Because outside of that incredibly brief force speed bit in the beginning its literally never addressed again.
Its almost like you could take out that Tex Avary retarded cartoon action and it would actually make the movie better
>>64089112
Now now, he never claimed to be a good friend. Anakin was the good friend.
>>64092796
Hello, visitor. If you had been on /tv/, you'd know that this board is basically r/movies.
>>64092868
link to what? my interpretations of Maul's face or the actual scene in question? because Ray Parks beautifully conveys Maul's emotions through his face. Watched the movie orginally three times in theaters, and a hundred times on dvd and i had the Thailand Mpeg that came out. and in all i watched only the fight scene, and Anakin's story.
>>64092872
If you'd remember, we always saw Jedi post that scene battle other force users. In fact, you've only saw Obi Wan hold his breath twice in the prequels. Why didn't he hold his breath when he was fighting Anakin or Grievous?
>>64089085
>that stunt "double"
my fucking sides. never seen this shitty movie before but I can't believe nobody has ever brought this up
>>64093153
I literally do not understand your point.
>if this character did this, why didn't he do it here?
This kind of question, trying to pinpoint what a character can or cannot do is the beggining of powerlevel shit discussions. What a character can or cannot do is not important, only what a character does. You can invent all possible excuses for why he did it or didn't do something, it doesn't matter, point is what was done.
If you were watching a film and something really feels odd, then so be it, that's a problem. But if you are looking for it, then it's a whole other question.
>>64090399
It's a shame web'ms dont have sound because that's just not the same without the jedi outcast force speed sound effect.
>>64093196
more like "stunt" double - what was he doing that McGregor couldn't? Was the lightsabre too heavy?
>>64092316
is that really a stunt double?
>>64093230
you're saying that since Jinn and Obi wan force ran they should have force ran at some point again. my question is when did they actually have a chance to force run again, and in said conditional, why should they have force ran again? obi wan held his breath while trapped in a room full of gas and when he was attacked by storm troopers. where else did he have the opportunity to hold his breath?
>>64093108
>the actual scene in question?
link?
>>64089380
I honestly do this.
I just pretend Star Wars, Empire and Jedi are the only cannon entries.
>>64089380
I watched the PT earlier this week. I hadn't watch them since the DVD release of RotS way back when. It just reminded me how awful they really are. Not just awful SW films, but awful films outright. I cannot think of a single redeeming thing about any of them; no iconic scenes. no iconic characters, no iconic quotes. Inconsistent narrative which shits all over the SW lore and on the PT films. The worst thing Lucas did was surrounding himself with yes-men who had not the balls to challenge any concept or idea Lucas' tired and exhausted mind spewed out.
>>64093413
Anon there are plenty of situations where being faster would help. Why didn't he force run after the assassin from AotC? Or after Jango during their first confrontation? Or a hundred other reasons. Its stupid and point less? Why did they even do it in the first place, they were deflecting the bullets just fine and simply could have walked off frame.
These movies are garbage anon

It's original and it has a Star Wars feel.
