Has anyone ever tried to slow them down or add a smoke cloud that covers their disappearance or something?
But how would that work though? couldn’t the Droidekas shoot them down as they hastily ran down the hallway?
I have an idea that could work. While deflecting the laser blasts, either Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon deflects a shot that hits something large on the ceiling—it doesn’t matter what it is. When it falls, it provides cover, allowing them to make their escape while still being shielded. The droidekas could then shoot at the fallen object, breaking it apart like they did with the door. Afterward, we can continue the scene with them running down the hall, and we can just say they got a head start.
