    A moment that I think deserves to be on this list somewhere:
    *"Dis-arming Savage Opress" from "The Clone Wars"*
    After learning Maul and Savage are building their own army of criminals, Obi-Wan and fellow Jedi master Adi Gallia head to Florrum to confront the Sith brothers in their own duels. However, Savage delivers a fatal blow to Gallia, finishing her off permanently. Than alone with two lightsabers, Obi-Wan fights off the Brothers. During the fight though, Obi-Wan keeps striking at Savage's knee repeatedly, weakening the Zabrak. This allows an opportunity for the Jedi to deliver a devastating blow to Savage, cutting off his left arm.

It's so easy to say "I don't see skin complexion" or that kind of B.S......and obviously I applaud people who truly never have the shadow of a racist thought, but next to them are the people who are able to admit what's wrong and willing to change as far as I'm concerned.).......But If I'm being 100% honest, I really truly honestly need to say........Savage Opress is such a stupid name.

      The thing is, Vader, or then, Anakin Skywalker, died in the light. That's also why he was seen back then as a force ghost (A bit contradicting the lore about the force ghosts.)
      Additional, when you listening to the music when Palpatines force lightning tortures Luke, and Vader is looking between the two, the music sounds like, something deep inside him is fighting out from the depth of his soul, and finally releases with the light side of the force tune, as Vader throws Palpatine down the shaft.
      That's when he became Anakin Skywalker, and fullfilling the prophecy of destroying the Sith. His Master, and his evil self.

    Most Mandalorians have been trained to fight Jedi which is why Obi Wan had such a hard time with Jango. And also, the reason why Grievous was always coughing was because when he abducted Palpatine Mace Windu crushed the aforementioned plating around his organs which is shown in the original Clone Wars miniseries granted it doesn’t have to do with Obi Wan but still an interesting fact. And Palpatine told Vader the same thing Obi Wan did upon Star Killer’s Death in Force Unleashed.
