Why the fuck doesn't maul just force choke obi wan in the middle of the fight...

boomer

force users have force barriers around themselves.

not to say it can't be broken or weakened during the fight but that's canonically why

IIRC from reading the books they are using the force constantly during lightsaber duels in order to perfect counter and avoid being diced within seconds. That's why these fights last so long, also why non-force users can't keep up. The ones who can use force abilities at the same time or use the force to make their strikes extremely powerful are the strongest, such as Vader, which is why he BTFO's everyone else.

Yeah when Jedis engage in lightsaber fight's they move fast.

"confer upon you the council does, the rank of Jedi Knight" nah if Yoda was gonna train Obi-Wan it was before episode I but that's not the point, they were supposed to show that Obi-Wan was hot headed and reckless like Luke was but Yoda turned him into the cool, calm and collected wise man we meet on Tatooine instead we got him shouting NO! one time and then just bland, blank, nothingness
There is absolutely nothing cooler than the original Star Wars movie and I don't care if that makes me (23M) a boomer in your opinion.
"Do not be so proud of this technological terror you have constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force"
"The force is my ally and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow, it's energy surrounds us, it binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter."
"Take your Jedi weapon, strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey to the dark side will be completed"
Are all 10 times better movie moments than ANYTHING in the prequels.

ep4 is timeless and comfy, esb sets up a little too much and leaves you waiting for the sequel to clear shit up. Return of the jedi is the start of lucas' autism with the small ass wookies doing slapstick fights against stormtroopers.
The og trilogy ain't that flawless

Being a Jedi knight doesn't mean you stop learning and training. It simply means you're acknowledged as a full fledged member of the order

Love me some phantom menace. I was 17 when it came out. They were doing little plastic busts of the characters as free gifts in cereals. I gave a 19 year old girl one (can’t remeber which character) and she wanked me off.

>cool, calm and collected
yikers

>Are all 10 times better movie moments than ANYTHING in the prequels.
It's actually incredibly similar to the writing prose in the prequels

The only cringy shit happens in Jedi.
Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are absolutely flawless
And even with the weird Luke / Leia sister thing Jedi still hits an emotion climax un-parralled in any other Star Wars movie. Luke's flirtation with the Dark Side but ultimate dedication to good more than makes up for the Ewoks (plus Yub Nub is a fucking good song!)
What is the theme of Phantom Menace? Don't start a trade dispute?
What is the theme of Clone wars? Don't fuck a hot crazy guy who's half your age?
What is the theme of ROTS? Evil always wins?
Seriously those are just Star Wars masturbation.
The original films were just that, FILMS, they weren't lightsaber wankery, they werent cringe inducing teenage romance, they weren't flat characters murdering children they were timeless epics teaching you that even the worst people like smugglers and evil cyborgs still have good inside of them and if you believe in them you can help them to find the good inside of themselves.
The prequels were just Star Wars for Star Wars sake while the originals were films in the actual meaning of the word, they mean something, they teach something. They're real stories that will be remembered for as long as people watch and study film

Better question is why they use force speed in first 5 minutes of saga and never use it ever again?

>Luke's flirtation with the Dark Side
What exactly does luke do to flirt with the dark side? I don't remember him doing anything bad

wait what?

Choking someone takes time and leaves you vulnerable to telekinesis while you're doing it

t. Kyle Katarn

How on earth would you describe the man who says "this little one isn't worth the effort, now come let me get you something" then slices homie's arm off without giving it a second thought then calmly, coolly, and collectedly picks up his friend and says "Chewbaca here is first mate on a ship that might suit us" while stepping over the ice cold body of the asshole he just wasted?
I can't think of a single moment in any of the prequels that comes close to just the thermal detonater scene in Jabba's palace and that's not even the best part of the film!
There's nothing good about Phontom Menace,
Clone Wars has almost something cool when Dooko talks to Obi-Wan but it never turns into anything and ROTS has... yeah IDK obviously I'm an OT guy and I'm not gonna convine y'all of anything but please take some time and just watch the old movies again some time I really think you'll realize they are in an entirely different class compared to the prequels.

He draws on his anger to defeat Vader in the throne room.

I was 11. I was molested in the theater bathroom. A few weeks later I sae my molestor on TV. It was George Lucas

>Both Lightsaber duellists attempt a force push at the same time in the middle of the fight
>they stuggle against each other for a bit because it blasting and staggering/launching both backwards

THIS is maximum Lightsaber duel kino

He force chokes the pig guards in the beginning, indiscriminately murders everyone on the sail barge and his fight with vader in the emperor's throne room is not exactly 'using the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack'
That was the whole point of the move, he's tempted by the dark side but ultimately stays good because that's his character, the incorruptible kid from Tatooine.
This is shown stylistically by his clothes. They're all black until after he throws his lightaber and allows himself to 'be destroyed' by the emperor when a white patch appears over his heart.
His sacrifice ended up bringing out the good in Vader and THAT was the only way to defeat true evil (ie the emperor)

Old Obi is senile. He even forgot that Anakin is Darth Vader. His fight with Vader was bad joke.
