Mordegrus Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yes but during the lightsaber fight, the camera was focused on Qui-gon and Maul and you see a blurry Obi-Wan in the background running. Plus the distance they covered in the beginning wasn't the same as it was in the fight, if you look at in the fight there was a much bigger gap. Not to mention, Obi-Wan is using a great deal of energy already while fighting plus the force jump he did to get back onto the platform to continue the fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePLTFxd0UCQ - At 2:12, you see a blurry Obi-Wan. Then its not until 2:18you see Obi-Wan, though at that point with the fields I doubt he would use force speed because it looks like. That the fields, restart on the timers the moment they open up. So the end field was already on its timer before the first one opened up. If Obi-Wan had used force speed, he would have crashed right into the field. Force speed or no force speed. The duel was awesome! (besides Maul getting sliced in half by a Jedi Padawan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalnight Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 If Obi-Wan had used force speed Obi-Wan can't use Force Speed, because he is a Jedi Guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platinumruggo Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Qui-Gon made several serious mistakes here: 1. Going into a flashpoint with just a companion. Obviously didn't know about the LFG tool. 2. Wearing green gear. I expect with purple he would not have been chopped in half(spoiler). 3. Not binding most of his abilities. I mean, all he really kept spamming there was Strike and Slash. Used Force Jump maybe once. What does he have on his bars? Midichlorian mission scanners? L2P Qui-Gon. More like Qui-nub amirite? I LOL'd so hard at this. Funny as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Zekiel Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 He actually did use force speed in the novel, he probably used it in the movie to but we never see it because the camera focused on Qui-Gon and Maul until the barriers came up and we see Obi-Wan skid to a halt both times so as not to crash right in. Actually near the beginning of the movie they both use it to get away from a droid stalemate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Actually near the beginning of the movie they both use it to get away from a droid stalemate. YES I GET THAT. People really need to stop bringing this up. During the fight, the camera near the field barriers were focused on Qui-Gon and Maul. You only see a blurry and very far Obi-Wan in the background running towards them(more then likely using force speed), in the fight vid I posted you see Obi-Wan at 2:06 and 2:12 while the camera is focused on Qui-Gon and Maul. So who is to really say that Obi-Wan did or didn't use it in the movies? Edited June 30, 2012 by Wolfninjajedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionamaster Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 They definitely based Knight and Inquisitor recovery ability animations on that scene, if you ask me. They just added colorful lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingdeadjedi Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I like how Obi Wan sees Qui Gons death before it happens, but is powerless to stop it. You see him gasp when he sees his master leave himself unguarded, just before Maul knocks Qui Gon senseless with his hilt and then spins to stab him. Granted Obi could have shouted something, in the hope it distracted Maul like say a taunt, but meh. but I noticed Maul also uses force push... assasins don't get that in game Edited June 30, 2012 by livingdeadjedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undeadsithdread Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ha ha! That's really funny! Someone should do a mock battle on SWTOR with an Assassin, and two Knights. already did that expect they were 10 jedis and they wiped the floor with my face!

Sith-Viscera Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Obi-Wan either forgot to use his Force Speed or it was on cooldown. lol my guess it was on cool down, you notice he looked down real fast like, well he was looking at his quick slot to see how much time was left on that cool down.

Actually, you can see Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan use Force Speed in the movie, during the scene when they're trying to break through the door to the bridge on the Trade Federation control ship at the beginning.

eltanincoso Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Someone on the boards described the animation as "Darth Maul's seethe animation", and I honestly didn't understand. Thanks for this thread. Only saw that film once. Didn't catch it. Edited July 4, 2012 by eltanincoso Sounded rude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaForceiswithme Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I thought it was extremely obvious they got seethe from Darth Maul and Introspection from Qui-Gon. Thought so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilSaihah Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What I don't understand is how Darth Maul didn't simply wipe the floor with Obi-wan. He got off a full Seethe; did he really blow that many cooldowns to beat Qui-gon? In all seriousness I'm confused as to why this fight even happens. Maul isn't even in the way of anything. Why do they need to fight him <_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectreclees Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Obi-Wan can't use Force Speed, because he is a Jedi Guardian He should have guarded Qui-Gon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I think they used Force Speed at the beginning of the movie, when they were trying to escape from the droid army. Anyone else remember that part?

Anyone else remember that part? I didn't. I'll have to check that when I get home. However, I do remember them quite obviously using Force Speed in the beginning of the movie on the Trade Federation ship. I wonder what Wolfninjajedi will think now that he knows that.
