Did You Know?

In 2015, the original gold bikini worn by Fisher was auctioned for a remarkable $96,000. More recently, an early version of the costume, which was screen-tested but not used in the final film, fetched $175,000 at auction. It includes a bikini top, bikini plates, hip rings, an armlet and a bracelet.

But now that I’ve rewatched this scene as an adult, I can’t help but wonder… was Obi-Wan actually just surviving?

Anakin was faster, stronger, and fueled by pure rage. He wasn’t just fighting—he was overwhelming Obi-Wan at every turn.

Looking at this duel again, I realized that Obi-Wan got out by the skin of his teeth.
