A Força não lhe disse para manter Maul vivo.
Note que no momento da morte, Obi-Wan entregou sua vontade àquela da Força Viva, que presumivelmente tem um rancor sólido contra os Sith, dado tudo o que eles fizeram para perverter e desfigurá-la por conta própria. fins malvados.
At the last minute, Obi-Wan flipped himself back up onto the walkway. Using the Force, he called Qui-Gon’s lightsaber to him. The weapon slapped into his hand as he landed. The unexpected move caught the Sith Lord off guard. Smoothly, without trying, resting in the living Force, Obi-Wan swung his Master’s lightsaber. The Sith Lord tried to parry, but he could not get his weapon around in time. He screamed and fell into the melting pit. Obi-Wan felt the tremor in the Force as he died.
Obi-Wan não estava apenas usando a Força (como ele vinha fazendo anteriormente), ele estava aberto à Força controlando suas ações. Assim que o fez, tornou-se imbatível, mas ao mesmo tempo subserviente à sua influência sobre suas motivações.
Eyes fixed on the Sith Lord, Obi-Wan Kenobi went deep inside himself, connecting with the Force he had worked so hard to understand. Calming himself, stilling the trembling of his heart, and banishing his anger and fear, he called upon the last of his reserves. With clarity of purpose and strength of heart, he launched himself away from the side of the pit and catapulted back toward its lip. Imbued with the power of the Force, he cleared the rim easily, somersaulting behind the Sith Lord in a single smooth, powerful motion. Even as he landed, he was drawing Qui-Gon Jinn’s fallen lightsaber to his outstretched hand.
Darth Maul whirled to confront him, shock and rage twisting his red and black face. But before he could act to save himself, Qui-Gon’s lightsaber slashed through his chest, burning him with killing fire. The stricken Sith Lord howled in pain and disbelief.
