Jedi consulars have green lightsabers while jedi knights have blue lightsabers, temple guards have yellow, jedi that is split between light and dark side have purple(mix of blue and red), siths have red, white/silver lightsaber is when jedi stop crystal bleeding, there is also orange lightsaber but so far there is no much info about it.

[@Foxhound3857]

@@Extreme96PL Qui-Gon is far from a Jedi Consular. He despises Council politics and prefers action to talking, and his bladework is among the Jedi's finest, making him more of a Guardian, or perhaps even a Sentinel. If anything, Obi-Wan is more of a Consular than Qui-Gon, as he much prefers talking it out whenever possible, though still believes in a direct and practical approach when the situation demands action. KOTOR's class designations have no bearing on what color a Jedi's saber is in the Skywalker era. Typically most Jedi use Blue or Green Kyber Crystals (though Windu uses a purple one as a reminder of his own inner darkness, a big reason why he also uses Form VII as his preferred stance, and also because Samuel L Jackson requested that color personally), and most, if not all Sith, use Red Kyber Crystals. It still leaves the question as to where Rey got her yellow crystal to forge her own saber at the end of Rise of Skywalker.

@@Extreme96PL the lightsaber crystal colorations as far as sentinel/guardian/consular go is legends and has been struck from Canon outside of temple guardians unfortunately.

[@metalmadness5851]

I love the amount of body language the Battle Droids have in that first encounter. All of the Red security droids are twitching and looking around nervously when the doors open, but the Gold officer droid is holding still and staring directly into the mist. They all tense up, ready to fire and lower themselves into fighting stances. Then they all ease up and stand up straight when the protocol droid exits. Then all take a step back when the lightsabers ignite. They then try to surround the jedi and close in to shoot inside of the jedi's reach to prevent their shots from getting reflected. It's attention to detail like that the really sells you on the idea of reality.

[@metalmadness5851]

@@cheffboyaryeezy2496 What idiot wants emotions in a droid designed to repair a damaged ship? Why is R2-D2 programmed to back-talk and sass his masters? All droids in the Star Wars universe just seem to have a standard emotional capability installed, regardless of purpose or necessity. Besides, the OOM-series of the B1 droids are meant to be able to interact with organics. The red security droids require the ability to think and reason to do their jobs properly, since they'd be dealing with internal problems, like crime between the crew, recognizing the different levels of authority among the commanders, and being able to realize when they need to adapt to changing circumstances. You could also look at it this way; all droids need to have some level of self-preservation to prevent pointless destruction. However, their duties will put them into the line of fire, so that contradiction would easily be seen as nervousness or fear.

Remember seeing this in 1999 on the day it opened. This scene was EXACTLY what I was hoping for the whole time between Return of the Jedi and that day. The technology just didn’t exist in the 80’s to do this scene. When I was a kid and saw Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park for the first time(s), I ALWAYS hoped George would make a new Star Wars with the technology that existed in this time period. So when people hate on all the CGI that was in these movies, we would have never seen what the Jedi were totally capable of without it. My 15 year old self was BLOWN away by this shit. I’ll never forget the first time I saw it. Because basically in the first 20 minutes, it hit on everything I had been waiting for since I saw A New Hope as a little kid. Loved it. 🥰 (I was born in 1984. The year after ROTJ came out. Saw the OG trilogy for the first time in like 89/90 maybe even earlier.

I very much appreciate how expressive and emotive droids can be in these movies

[@Hootix]

Everyone talking about the jedi, but the battle droids are the real beauty of this scene. They're actually intelligent, and know what they're doing.

[@chrismeloy5560]

It’s always so satisfying to see Qui-Gon cut through the doors especially when he cuts straight through probably would’ve gotten in if the droidikas hadn’t shown up

[@augistineaquinas3325]

ep1 is soaked in nostalgia for so many. esp the ones who say it the first night it came out. First movie i got to stay up late; it was a special occasion . i was only 7. we also came in a little late so we just came in as the jedi were breakin the doors in

[@luannewang3718]

I love Qui-Gon's twirl at 1:25

[@jediskunk67]

“Close the blast doors!” “That will hold them.” Poor choice of words Viceroy.

[@R.P.Pyotrsovich]

When I was a toddler I enjoyed the sight of B-1s getting cut like butter when I first saw Phantom Menace, it made me Hijack a VHS/DVD console to play it multiple times!

Jedi use force speed Battlefront 2 veterans: Just like the simulations! (I know it used in the Clone wars animated series too)

100% the best film in the prequel franchise. This scene is so iconic. Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson at their best.

[@kurtbarlow5408]

Erm no ROTS is miles better

[@Bahamut998]

@@kurtbarlow5408 ROTS imo has too much CGI, it’s not done very well. And the story and pacing is meh, anakins fall to the dark side is done terribly and without warning. Phantom menace was a complete Star Wars film, it felt very much like an OT film. The pacing is pretty perfect with a beginning, middle, and end, good characters, etc. Episode 2 and 3 are very weird episodes imo.

[@i_am_thebatman]

This scene was one of the coolest moments in Star Wars when I first saw it . They raised the stakes so high I really thought Qui Gonn was going to get into the room. Edit: I think using that level of Speed Drains them entirely. Notice they only use it in retreat . If this is true it would explain why they never use it . Tactically you would only use it in a retreat .

[@samsschool3639]

Makes sense dude, like a sprint, armies would never charge each other with heavy sword and shileld while in battle like in the movies because they would gass out and be cut down

[@samsschool3639]

And its not like the Flash power that everything slows down for them

[@_GalKestis_]

In fallen order using that move gives them force exhaustion so it makes sense tbh

[@tonejames2080]

Not a bad theory. Also have always thought of it like, it’s the same ability as force jump. They basically are using all their energy to propel themselves forward or up.

[@donovanwallace6110]

1:20 obi wan swings wildly and jumps right into the fight while qui Gon takes his time with his decisive strikes. Feels like a bit of foreshadowing for the maul duel.

[@ArniesTech]

As a kid i teared up when the door started melting. These unstoppable forces.

[@STO_1601]

Fun fact: This is the first Star Wars film to use both blue and green lightsabers in the same film.

[@kurtwagner5661]

I love QuiGons impression without words, next door is closing, more massive, stronger, ..continue the melting. Love it from the first moment as a child in cinema.

"They must be dead by now. Destroy what's left of them." What? What are you talking about? What's the purpose of opening the door so soon? Just leave it closed for like two hours or something.
