Lucas gave us new force powers in nearly every film. In Episode I, Qui-gon and Obi-wan run super fast.

I’m not commenting on the discussion at hand, just simply stating that the force-run ability seen in TPM was nothing new to me when the movie first came out. Having played the PC game ‘Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2’, this was an ability you gained in the game along with force-jump.

That aside, it is shown in both TESB and ROTJ that the force can be used to dramatically increase your athletic abilities and while I can’t think of any clear example of force-run/speed, it is an easy extrapolation to make based on the other force enhanced abilities we do see in the movie. So I don’t see the force-run ability seen in TPM as a new ability, simply one we hadn’t seen yet on screen.

Also when you say in nearly every film, what other new force powers do you refer to in the PT?
