Revenge of the Sith Spoilers: Obi-Wan dives into a forward roll that ends up with him on the rim of a low cliff, just above the soft black sand of a lava riverbank.
Anakin snarls at Obi-Wan, realizing he has been tricked. Anakin leaps off his droid at Obi-Wan's back, but is half a second too slow.
Obi-Wan whirls to parry Anakin, but his light saber doesn't meet Anakin's light-saber blade. Instead, Obi-Wan slices off Anakin's leg at the knee. Then Obi-Wan slices of the other leg off Anakin at the knee. And while Anakin is still in the air, Obi-Wan uses his light-saber blade to slice off Anakin's left arm above the elbow. He steps back as Anakin falls.
Anakin drops his light saber, clawing at the edge of the cliff with his mechanical hand, but his grip becomes too powerful for the lava bank and the edge crumbles and he slides down onto the black sand.
His severed legs and his severed arm roll into the lava below him and immediately burn.
Anakin claws at the soft black sand, but his struggling only makes him slip farther. The sand itself is hot; digging his mechanical arm into it burns off his glove, and his robes begin to smolder.
Obi-Wan picks up Anakin's light saber. Obi-Wan lifts his own as well and weighs them in his hands. Anakin had based his design upon Obi-Wan's and thus they appear very similar.
Hey SS, great website. (SuperShadow: The best ever.) If George Lucas does make Episodes 7 - 9, will he recast Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, etc.? (SuperShadow: Lucas says that he speaks to Mark, Harrison and Carrie a few times each year. Lucas says that they are all very interested in continuing the Star Wars plot line of the classic trilogy. We just have to convince Lucas to do it.)
