In Revenge of the Sith, right before Padmé dies giving birth, she tells Obi-Wan the words every Star Wars fan remembers: “Obi-Wan… there… is good in him. I know there is… still…” She’s talking about Anakin — her husband, the man she’s just watched fall to the dark side. For years, we’ve wondered what it …
There’s something about lightsaber duels that always stands out. You see two warriors clashing, sparks flying, blades humming.
