Overwatch Fan Recreates Star Wars Prequel Moment in Workshop

"Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" has a less than stellar critical standing, but its place in the canon of so-bad-it's-good film history is secure. So secure, in fact, that fans have taken to recreating it in other mediums.

This clip, posted to the Overwatch subreddit Monday by u/GENJI_SHIMADA, faithfully recreates the famous Mustafar high ground scene from the end of the film. In the original scene, Obi-Wan leaps over Anakin to claim a place higher on the embankment.

"It's over Anakin!" he shouts at his former Padawan. "I have the high ground!"

"You underestimate my power!" Anakin responds, before attempting to leap over Obi-Wan, who easily cuts off his arm and leg, sending him tumbling hilariously back down to the lava flows below them.

In GENJI_SHIMADA's version of the scene, both jedi are played by Genjis with their swords drawn. Obi-Wan is a base outfit Genji with blue lightning coursing along his blade, while Anakin appears in the Oni outfit. The lines are delivered, then Anakin attempts the jump only to be slashed by Obi-Wan and slide back down into lava from Torbjörn's ultimate.

The faithfulness of the recreation is impressive, and shows how versatile the Workshop can be.
