Great cut scene from Episode One, it's missing, and it really hurts the flow of the picture. Obi Wan is being chased by droids. Qui Gon stops the droids, then Obi Wan explains it's because he got his saber wet, and it no longer works.
It's just after Quin Gon first meets Jar Jar.
What we see is Obi Wan being chased, then Quin Gon easily despenses with the droids... then it cuts to Obi Wan and Qui Gon standing together, obviously they have been talking. A shame.

Yup. not to mention in the Jedi Knight games.. you get your saber wet.. it turns off and sits in the pool of water. 
. it short circuts it. this is why Obi wasn't fighting the driods.
So basiclly, your saber gets wet while on.. it's going to drain it/turn it off. cant work in water.

OBI-WAN
"Sorry, Master. The swamp fried my lightsaber."
He pulled out his weapon. The business end was blackened and burned. Qui-Gon took it from him and gave it a curios inspection.
QUI-GON
'You forgot to turn off the power again, didn't you Obi-Wan?'
OBI-WAN
'It appears so, Master.'
QUI-GON
'It won't take long to recharge, but it will take some time to clean up. I trust you have learned your lesson, my young Padawan.'
OBI-WAN
'Yes, Master.'"
It starts from the time Obi-Wan is running from the STAPs just after they landed on Naboo. I have always questioned why didn't Obi Wan just turn around to fend the droids off. Well, according to the novel, Obi Wan fell into a small swamp or lake that had shorted out the crystals of his ignited lightsaber causing him to run for his life. After Qui-Gon destroys the droids, Qui-Gon asks him why didn't he do just that and fend them off, Obi-Wan embarrassingly tells Qui-Gon that his saber has shorted out after falling into the swamp. Qui-Gon basically reprimands Obi-Wan for his inexperience as a young Jedi and he has to learn such things. This would explain why Obi Wan is looking very wet just before meeting Jar Jar. This scene has really no relevance yet it would have been interesting to see.

No no, I think Garrison could be right... if you're an underwater Jedi, maybe you'd find a way around it. I just like the scene is all... I think of all the things that could have been put back in, that was an obvious one. It didn't even make it to the DVD though.
In the original Jedi Knight you could use your saber underwater... but that's no more canon then a cartoon series

Who ever said he was a Underwater jedi? Oooh, it's cause he looks like a sort of squid.. yeah, that must have been it. either way. blah. the animation design still bugs me.
