    after cutting his legs and arm off, Ben leaves Skywalker burning alive on the shores of a lava river, with Anakin spitting venomous sentiments at his departing mentor

    Anakin: None shall pass.
    Obi Wan: What?
    Anakin: None shall pass.
    Obi Wan: I have no quarrel with you, young padiwan, but I must cross this bridge.
    Anakin: Then you shall die.
    Obi Wan: I command you as your teacher to stand aside!
    Anakin: I move for no man.
    Obi Wan: So be it!

    Obi Wan cuts off Anakin's left arm.

    Obi Wan: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
    Anakin: 'Tis but a scratch.
    Obi Wan: A scratch? Your arm's off!
    Anakin: No, it isn't.
    Obi Wan: Well, what's that then?

    where - after cutting his legs and arm off, Ben leaves Skywalker burning alive on the shores of a lava river

    On a bright sunny day on Mustafar, Obi-Wan Kenobi was taking a pleasant stroll around the lava river. He spots an armless and legless Anakin Skywalker and, moved with pity, he asks young Skywalker if there's anything he can do for him. Skywalker replies, 'well, I've never been hugged before'. In response, Kenobi gives Anakin a big ol' bear hug and satisfied with his good deed, continues on his pleasant stroll around the river. He come back around to the place where Anakin lay and decided to ask him if there was anything else he needed. To this, Anakin replies, 'well, I've never been kissed before'. Kenobi thinks for second, and though a little hesitant, gives Anakin a peck on the forehead. He leaves again, satisfied. He comes back around a third time and again, asks Anakin if there's anything he wants. Anakin says "well, I've never been fucked before!" and so Kenobi picks him up, throws him in the lava river and shouts 'now you're fucked!'

    Good luck reading it, seems the site was "slashdotted" and is struggling to stay up. If only Kevin Smith used IIS 6... On a side note, does anyone know if Jar Jar bites it in this one? I for one am a big fan of Jar Jar biting it. And by "Biting it" I am not making an improper oral inference, I mean does he get eliminated? And by Eliminated, I do not mean excreted, I mean made to stop functioning, and not like a conjunction junction, for he has no function.

    Leah being Luke's sister was an idea which came to him when he was 2/3 done writing "Return of the Jedi."

    I especially like when Luke tells her and she says she always knew.
