Rebel. Jedi. Action Figure.
There are few scenes in the Star Wars saga more pivotal than the duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith.
It was a scene that fans had waited decades to see; the brutal final act of Skywalker’s transformation into the fearsome Darth Vader. The sense of tragedy is palpable as a friendship ends and the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.
EXT. TATOOINE – LARS HOMESTEAD
The giant twin suns of Tatooine slowly disappear behind a distant dune range. Luke stands watching them for a few moments, then reluctantly enters the domed entrance to the homestead.
It’s with full credit to George Lucas, Mark Hamill, John Williams, and the magic of ILM that a few short lines of screenplay could become one of the most iconic moments in cinema.
