20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith
3. MythBusters Debunked The "Higher Ground" Myth
One of the film's most memorable moments is surely Obi-Wan's climactic declaration to Anakin that their battle is over because he has the "high ground."
In a 2015 episode of MythBusters, the team put this theory to the test, that having the high ground over your opponent gives you an overwhelming tactical advantage.
Adam and Jamie fought a series of duels to determine whether the high ground truly was advantageous. Their findings? They won roughly half their duels each, seemingly busting the myth of Obi-Wan's claim.
Though the pair were sure to note that neither of them were skilled swordsmen nor was the outcome particularly scientific, it still provides amusing food for thought.
