At San Antonio Space Show, Hayden Christensen Reveals Why He Thinks Anakin Skywalker Lost to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sithand it connects to another iconic duel Star Wars. The Battle of Mustafar is one of the best lightsaber duels of all time Star Wars movies and TV shows, it remains one of the most important events in the world Star Wars timeline. However, this epic duel wasn’t perfect, Obi-Wan’s quip was “Highlands” Still a controversial issue. Christensen’s explanation at SPACECON finally made the moment make complete sense.
After joking that Anakin made his fatal leap revenge of the sith because “The arrogance of youth” Hayden Christensen says Anakin does know how Obi-Wan Kenobi defeated Darth Maul. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace This makes him believe that he has the ability to defeat Obi-Wan even if Obi-Wan takes the high ground. In a video posted on TikTok by thelegacyofnerd, Christensen explained that in his mind, Anakin grew up hearing this quote “Knowledge,” That’s why he believes he can defeat Obi-Wan.
This would also explain why Obi-Wan told Anakin not to try – he knew how he defeated Maul when he had the high ground, so he must know how to stop Anakin from doing the same.
What Hayden Christensen’s explanation means for Star Wars
Hayden Christensen’s explanation makes this moment and this sentence even more profound. In his description, this means Obi-Wan’s “Don’t try” It was an acknowledgment that they were both thinking about the story. As Christensen said, from his perspective, Obi-Wan’s victory over Darth Maul is legendary among the Jedi. If that’s the case, it would make sense that Anakin would have thought of this in that moment, and that Obi-Wan would have anticipated his next move (and known how to stop him).
It would also make Anakin’s attempts more painful, as even though he clearly has a hatred for his former Jedi Master, he still tries to emulate him. It’s clear that Anakin has very complicated feelings for Obi-Wan, that he both resents and admires him. This explanation makes this even more poignant and further reflects how close the two truly are, as Obi-Wan would know the specific memories Anakin would evoke during their battle.
Our thoughts on “The High Ground” in Star Wars
Like many, I consider the Battle of Mustafa to be one of the most exciting and important moments of the entire war. Star Wars. It was so cruel to watch Obi-Wan and Anakin, who were once like brothers, almost fighting to the death, even though Obi-Wan’s actions were justified, knowing that he had truly lost faith in Anakin and left him to his own devices Suicide is really painful. This explanation from Christensen reminds us of the magnitude of the loss, so I think it’s a brilliant explanation.
Christensen’s comments also further confirm that he is indeed the authority on Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Christensen understands Anakin to a degree that perhaps no one else can, and it shows in his analysis of the character. I totally trust Hayden Christensen’s explanation of this Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith moment and its larger impact on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker Star Wars story.
