	Vader could also think it was some kinda force trick he hadn't learnt yet. Which it technically was... But he probably doesn't have the best sight with the helmet, so he might've just thought he was tripping out. -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader

	It's basically the Darth Vader way of saying "**** yo robes!" -----signature----- 'You don't know the Power of the Darkside!'-Darth Vader

	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.

	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. -----signature----- Isaiah 41:13

	I agree with a lot of people, that it was mostly Vader's shock. Got to remember what Obi said just before he died, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerfull than you can possibly imagine." So Vader hears his old, crafty master utter these words and then swoosh, Vader takes him out without any defensive moves. Vader's first thought has got to be 'what?' then he's thinking what did he mean by more powerfull?

	Vader never saw it happen before. Qui-Gon taught Ben and Yoda how to do it. -----signature----- Veni, Vidi, Vici. - Julius Caesar

	Wait, so back in 1977 it was established that Obi-Wan disappears rather than this being a recent retcon?

	Alpha-Red posted: Wait, so back in 1977 it was established that Obi-Wan disappears rather than this being a recent retcon? Yes, as the thread title amply demonstrates with its reference to Vader stomping on visibly empty robes. And Yoda disappeared in 1983, not exactly what you could call "a recent retcon". -----signature----- His legions, angel forms, who lay entranced.
