CGI flying Yoda didn't look very good either. It would have been hard to film this (without cuts) as a plausible move to defeat someone who has the high ground ;) | |
| Apr 2, 2016 at 0:35 | comment | added | DCShannon | @Mazura That makes more sense than an argument about his upward acceleration. I still don't agree, but I can at least see how you would think it looks that way. | |
| Apr 1, 2016 at 1:00 | comment | added | Mazura | @DCShannon - fly, verb : "move through the air under control" –Google. He intentionally accelerates (undergoes a change in velocity) in midair. That's flight. [It's] not in the video; it happens in between cuts. His arms might have helped move him vertically but some force must have acted on him to move him laterally. | |

| Mar 10, 2016 at 21:07 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @DCShannon: (1) It doesn't look to me like he really bent his arms to achieve that speed, unless you think he has truly enhanced finger strength and (2) he appears to be rising at a fairly constant rate, not decelerating due to gravity. You can only do that by applying a constant force (i.e. the Force, heh heh!) over a distance and that means levitating. | |
| Mar 10, 2016 at 20:30 | comment | added | DCShannon | I've always interpreted that as enhancing his strength with the force, rather than levitating. I don't see anything in the video or the argument here to change that conclusion. | |
| Mar 5, 2016 at 16:55 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @MatemáticosChibchas, I count around one fully outstretched Kenobi (8ft) from his hands to the deck plus half a Kenobi from his hands to his centre of gravity (4ft) plus one Darth Maul (6ft) plus the extra clearance above his head (3ft), so would you accept twenty? (It doesn't change the answer. ) | |
