yes it does. go light a log on fire, eventually itll stop flaming and just smolder. all of anakin's flammable material (clothes, hair) burnt off, so he sat there and smoldered.what other answer are you seeking?
All of his clothes burnt off? As far as I can remember he wasn't naked when he was lying there.
Its Star Wars. Nothing has to make sense.
But really,
I think the gust of wind is probably the best explaination. Although a gust would be bring sudden end to the fire, rather than gradual as shown in the movie. If he could *force extinguish himself. I think he might have done it a little sooner. But maybe it was because was'nt thinking straight. If he was he would've just force choked Obi-Wan instead of doing that stupid flip thing. Then again Obi-Wan would've just thrown his saber at him, chopping off his limbs, Anakin falls in the lava and then the same thing all over again. *sigh
Geez people, crappy answers. 😛
The explanation Plagueis posted is the most logical, think about, experiment, it's true.
First, his hair burnt off, that stopped the fire there.
Second, leather is not the easiest material to burn through, the fire burnt some holes but didn't have the strength to continue burning. He was still smoldering and burning, but that doesn't necessarily need flames.
If you don't like that answer, go ask your buddy Mikey Suttle. 😛

and i tried the leather thing.. i put some leather pants and shirt and lit it on fire...

Yes, once the hair is gone, the fire from that will not have strength or substance to continue, it will singe the skin and cause some surface damage, but it will go out very easily.
Just burn a piece of paper and see what happens to it.
Sometimes it will go out, sometimes it will stop and smolder. It's the nature of fire.
Skin doesn't light. It gets scarred and burned, but it has trouble setting alight. When the clothing and hair is mostly gone, it will stop and smolder because it doesn't have enough to carry on.
He had little bits of clothing left because that's what happens. EVen after fires there's still remnants of fabrics left. It doesn't all turn to ash and magically dissapear, a lot of it turns to carbon and stops burning - so thats why he had loads of little bits of fabric all over him.
