HI. It is time for fight number two.
This fight is between two brothers who, over the years, have formed a strong bond. However this bond was not unbreakable. It fact at its climax it was splintering, filled with many cracks. Until, finally, the strain and pressure forced it to explode. What was left was hatred and a deep sadness. Emotions poured through the two bodies. Both fought with anger, passion, sadness, hope, and love (to a degree). But in the end both were defeated. This battle was beyond the limit of darkness and light.
"Anakin come back- I love you."
"LIAR! You brought him hear to kill me." ( the beginning)
"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy!"
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must."
"You will try!". ( the end, no more words, a broken friendship)
The biggest fight in Star Wars......................begins.
I must say it is nice how they focus on half of Anakin's face with half of Obi-Wan's in the background. Then they focus on Obi-Wan and you see a small, but nonetheless shining sun in the background. Two great scenes. Anyway, Anakin does a back flip and attacks his old Master. The battle is on.
It is amazing to think how the fight between the two traveled so much. It starts out on the landing pad. But they soon make there way inside where all of Anakin's atrocities are seen. (referring to the slaughtering of the Separatists councils). The fight inside showcases both there skills wonderfully. We see some great lightsaber action.
Anakin has Obi-Wan on the table about to decapitate him. The anger is there. Obi-Wan kicks him off and after a few well placed kicks the tables have turned. Anakin is on his back and Obi is the one striking with the lightsaber.
Now we get to see how evenly matched the two are. They are in a force competition neither having the upper hand. Then they fly in different directions. But, WAIT! Anakin recovers quickly, and with a few fancy jumps is attacking his former master. His first strike misses and he ends up destroying the control for the lava shields. Smart move Anakin.
They then move outside where Anakin kicks his master in the face. Someone needs a time-out.
They make their way onto a few pipes. They stay balanced while throwing a few attack. It is amazing how much danger they are in here. They could have fallen and died in the sea of lava, or lost focus while trying to keep balance and be struck by the other.
Soon Obi-Wan jumps off and Anakin soon follows. Anakin hits his former Master in the face. Then they both grab hold of each other lightsaber arm while lava splashes in the background. A great scene.
Yet, what is this, the lava rises up onto the collection arm. How could this be? O that's right, the one hit wonder destroyed the shields.
So they find protection, but not before throwing out another hit. Soon enough the arm breaks and plummets to the river, down below. The two rush back out and hold on for their dear lives. Of course while dishing out a few more attacks. Obi-Wan sees a lava fall and jumps off while holding a wire. Anakin follows and two lightsabers strike each other. Obi-Wan lets go and falls, landing on a platform. However Anakin is still on the collection arm. So he gets on while it is falling, and jumps just on time landing on a little droid.
" I have failed you Anakin. I have failed you."
"I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over."
"Anakin, the Chancellor is evil."
"From my point of view the Jedi are evil."
"Then you are lost."
Obi-Wan puts the blame on himself. He thought he could teach Anakin better than Qui-Gon or Yoda. This reminds me of a line Obi-Wan says to Anakin in Clone Wars Vol.2.
" I won't fail you Master." (Anakin)
" No Anakin. Don't fail yourself." (Obi-Wan)
Anakin announces how the Jedi were trying to take over. In a way he was right. Remember the meeting between Mace and co. They talked about having to temporarily take control. They proclaim who they believe is evil.
Obi-Wan finally realizes and accepts what he must do.
They attack and Anakin jumps on the platform and they soon find themselves in a saber hold. Obi-Wan then jumps and lands on a small hill.
" It's over Anakin. I have the high ground."
"You underestimate my power."
"Don't try it."
"AAAAHHHHHHH"
He warned you.
Slice, fall, done.
" You were the Chosen One. It was said you would destroy the Sith not join them. Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness." Obi-Wan picks up Anakin's lightsaber.
" I HATE YOU."
" You were my brother Anakin. I loved you."
Word. Such powerful words. Obi-Wan stands there watching. Watching has his friend, along with their friendship, goes up in flames.
Aftermath
Obi-Wan walks back to the ship. 3PO and R2 brought Padme onto the ship . She asks if Anakin is okay. He will never be okay.
Anakin is no longer on fire and his new master gets there. As the clones get a medical capsule, Sidious bends down tending to his prize. Palpatine is happy in a way. The apprentice's power has been cut short (pun intended). Palpatine is nice to Anakin in a mocking sort of away. He is saying you are mine. Forever. Anakin is transported to Coruscant where he is operated on. The table rises along with Darth Vader, along with an era of pain. Pain for the world and pain for the crippled man in the suit.
Padme gives birth to two beautiful babies. Then dies, her last words about the good in Anakin. A babies cry rings in the background. The babies are separated.
Darth Vader stands next to his Master. Watching the construction of a small moon-like device, capable of destroying a planet.
While a body with a baby bump, flows down a street of mourners. Flower petals in her hair; grasping a japor snippet given to her by a small boy long ago on a desolate sand planet..................
