10 Moments Of Star Wars Foreshadowing You Never Noticed
4. Darth Vader Notes Luke's Fondness Of The High Ground
Still alluding to the fact that his decision to take the high ground is being celebrated to this day, Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi uttered a now-legendary line that was actually surprisingly set up a solid two decades earlier.
No doubt influenced by the master who had also taught Darth Vader much of what eventually made him the most fearsome force in the galaxy, a moment that sees his own son take up a rather familiar position led to a line that is given much more weight upon digesting Kenobi and Skywalker's Mustafar melee.
As Vader puts it when Luke is safely out of reach up high in the midst of their climactic Return of the Jedi duel, "Obi-Wan has taught you well." In other words, he taught you that my greatest weakness is attempting to flip over my opponent before getting my limbs sliced to pieces, the clever old space wizard.
Not being in a rush to repeat that fateful Revenge of the Sith mistake, though, Vader resists the urge to do a flip and instead settles for simply having his hand chopped off once again. Charming.
