Halfway through Star Wars Episode I: A New Hope, something extraordinary happens. Reunited with his old enemy (before we knew they were old friends), Obi-Wan Kenobi engages Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel aboard the Empire’s terrifying Death Star. It’s not the subdued sparring that sticks out ⏤ it’s when Obi-Wan utters the chilling words, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” As the aged Jedi lifts his blade and allows Vader to strike him, his robes fall to the floor, empty.
Looking back more than four decades on, it’s a bit like the What the Fluff social trend that had dog owners around the world trying to fool their pets with a sheet. It certainly vexed the Dark Lord of the Sith, who was left prodding the discarded Jedi robes with his mechanical foot.
