Daft-Vader posted:He's making sure that it isn't a dodgy builder who made the floors not strong enough to stand a lightsaber fight. Hence Obi-Wans look of joy - you can't kill me, I'm standing on a trap door. More Seriously, I think its just to make sure that Obi-Wan was gone - "your eyes can decieve you, don't trust them" Or maybe, less likely though, He's checking to see if Obi-Wan did what was in the Ep III Deleted scene, where they face Grievous, and they cut a hole in the floor to escape. A quick cut, unoticed, and ader goes of the kill, Obi-Wan kick the deck, goes through the floor.
jedibri posted:This is one of my favorite subjects. So let's flash back to Epi.III for a second: Qui-Gon has mastered becoming one with the Force. Anakin (now Vader) has been gone lost to the Dark side. Now then Epi. IV Vader strikes Kenobi down. Having no clue that Obi-Wan also knows how to become one with the force Vader is confused and steps on the robe out of disbelife that his disappeared. That's my take anyway.
Alpha-Red posted:Wait, so back in 1977 it was established that Obi-Wan disappears rather than this being a recent retcon?
