everyone expected him to awaken his flickering connection with the force and move that switch remotely. but what he did instead, which was pure bravery and selflessness in the face of certain death, was a lot more meaningful in my mind. I don't want Jedi powers to become the deus ex that gets Star Wars characters out of a jam every time.
the worst practitioner of this was Qui Gon. he nonstop used mind tricks and telekinesis on the dice to swindle Watto, to the point where it was just ridiculous and he could have just taken Anakin, his mom, and the hyperdrive without going through some dumb podrace bet.
