in their defense, they could say that its the rod that lifts Vader (in Mask) into position. That will be the first scene in ROTS that we see Vader as we know him in the OT.Not that im taking their side....
I think, as I posted before on some other thread quite a while ago, that the Inanimate rod thing has been an industry joke certainly at Fox for some time and that the offending BTH was a homage to the gag...
It's a gag that has been used in 'The Simpsons" twice at least among others....
Maybe Obi-wan pulls it out of a gantry using the force and that is instrumental in Anakin's final plunge..... sending him to his crispy char-grilled fate....
