While the prequel trilogy was wildly hated for nearly a decade, a generation of fans has given the prequels a much more positive re-examination, claiming them to be far better than what elder audiences once believed they were. But, one line that just about every Star Wars fan loves to poke fun at is a line near the climax of Obi-Wan and Anakin's iconic battle, where Obi-Wan says, "It's Over Anakin. I have the High Ground."
Since 2005's Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars fans cannot get enough of this classic line from Obi-Wan Kenobi. With such a famous line, there's a near-endless amount of memes based on it.
10 Who Has The High Ground?

6 Fallout High Ground
How was Obi-Wan able to chop off Anakin's Arm and Legs? Sure, he had the high ground, but there must be more to it than that. Well, it seems like Obi-Wan was able to put all of the skill points he's earned over the years and put it all into his perception skills.

Poor Anakin. After losing his mother, having his hand chopped off, and getting promoted to Jedi Master at the high council, he finally had enough and joined the Dark Side. Things seem to be looking up and up once he embraced the Dark Side of the Force. He has a much better teacher; he can use his power to save his wife and is destined to become Emperor of the Galaxy.
But, alas, the one thing he doesn't have is a High Ground to call his own. Because of that, he was chopped into pieces, burnt by Lava, and left for dead by Obi-Wan. At least he has a cool voice box and a new iconic look.
