Audiences have a special fondness for Revenge of the Sith and the memorable battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

Interestingly, if things went just a little bit different the duel of heroes would have significantly diverge from the one we eventually saw in the movie.

During a recent interview with the YT channel Star Wars Theory stunt coordinator for the prequel trilogy, Nick Gillard, revealed that what we saw on screen was due to the intervention of Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor, who tried to dissuade George Lucas from the original idea.

And while the creator's original idea seems intriguing, the final version lacks nothing, and the very idea of using Skywalker's arrogance against him was presented in a fantastic way. On the other hand, "accidentally" cutting off the legs and arms of his disciple would not speak very well of Obi-Wan's skills. What do you think, did Lucas do well to succumb to the actors?
