To go into production on “Obi-Wan” with the express or even latent intent to outdo that “Revenge of the Sith” fight would be misguided and likely futile. The duel itself is nothing extravagant, but that’s a strategic move on Chow’s part. “I did.” It’s undeniable (although Obi-Wan is not blameless here) and echoes what Obi-Wan will tell Luke years from now about Darth Vader killing his father. “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker,” he tells Obi-Wan. “I am what remains.” It’s a standout character moment in a show chock-full of them, and it is highly effective. “Anakin Skywalker is gone,” is the reply, a distorted mix of Christensen and Jones’ voices twisted together.
