Anakin disarms Obi and grabs him by the throat.
So why didnt it go down that way on screen?
According to Gillard, [George Lucas] wanted something else, adding that George is the creator.
We would be foolish to second-guess him.
And thusStar Warshistory was made.
Obi-Wan warned Anakin he had the high ground but the overly confident Sith Lord didnt listen.
Its only through the intervention of Emperor Palpatine that Anakin survives a final fiery end.
In the scene, the Jedi Master has been instructed to kill a man he considers his brother.
So Obi has to defend, because he also loves him.
Hes just trying to absorb it for as long as he can.
And hopefully, Anakin will run out of steam.
Like that battle with Darth Maul, Obi-Wan comes out on top but its no victory.
Obi-Wan has lost the Jedi Order, the Republic, and his brother in one fell swoop.
I also think he doesnt believe Anakin will recover he thinks hes going to die.
McCallum adds that Anakin exploding in fire in the scene is un-fucking-believable.
