Why Obi-Wan Didn't Use Force Speed to Save Qui-Gon - Star Wars Explained #Shorts | Star Wars Explained

Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: Why didn’t Obi-Wan use Force speed to save Qui-Gon in The Phantom Menace? The new book Brotherhood by Mike Chen has an explanation! As Obi-Wan attempts to escape some attackers, he considers using the Force to speed up, but instead runs at a normal speed, quote, attentive to the way overexertion of the Force’s physical gifts might affect anything from strength to coordination. The way the Force surrounded him as he moved informed his decisions and calculations; an extra burst down the long hall was feasible, but doing so might briefly drain him. To apply this to The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan could have sped down that hallway, but it may have exhausted him, making him useless in combat against a Sith Lord. Personally I see this as just one of several plausible explanations, but I enjoyed this little segment from Brotherhood, which is just an overall great read, by the way. #starwars #shorts --- Subscribe for more Star Wars videos every day!
