10 Times Star Wars Gave Fans EXACTLY What They Wanted

10. The Rematch Of The Century

While a decent amount of Disney+'s latest Star Wars small screen offering was dedicated to characters outside of the titular Jedi-in-hiding and his fallen apprentice, most of the attention was quite rightly focused on a certain "Rematch of the Century" coming into Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Yet, instead of simply carting out the two former brothers in arms to duke it out just the once after spending nearly two decades away from the Star Wars spotlight, Deborah Chow and Kathleen Kennedy gifted fans with the sight of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen's Ben Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader crossing lightsabers on three separate and wholly satisfying occasions.

An Obi-Wan absolute mauling at the hands of the rage-fuelled Dark Lord in Part III was eventually followed by a digitally de-aged bout of training between master and padawan from before the Clone Wars in Part V.

And if that wasn't enough, the iconic figures were given one last chance to truly let loose against one another in the series finale, with Kenobi reverting back to a classic stance, Vader finally getting the high ground, and a merging of Christensen and James Earl Jones' unmistakable voices post-mask-smashing all leaving fans needing a serious lie down.
