JEDI POWER BATTLES AND THE LEGACY OF THE PHANTOM MENACE
1Jedi Power Battles and the Legacy of the Phantom Menace
In the first three Star Wars films. the Jedi and Sith are dying embers. What was once a vast. tangled hierarchy of practitioners of the light and dark forces has dwindled to a handful of snarling and vengeful old men in a quest for control of a bunch of frightened. untutored kids fight. Hes not a sworn enemy. just the boss of a production thats perhaps better viewed as an empty. prop heavy blueprint for generations of Star Wars video games than a movie. The most popular of these games are surely the later ones Set long after the events of the prequel trilogy. however. the Jedi Knight sequels Outcast and Academy embrace their more polished and kinetic vision of lightsaber combat Qui Gon is more robust yet more of a show off. his combos consisting of rolling diagonals across the shoulder slower. baroque moves that are still quicker to catch droids mid counter.
