"The Heat Of The Battle": A non-canonical animated LEGO short film debuted on the LEGO YouTube channel on July 24, 2022. This short, drawing inspiration in part from "Part VI" of the series Obi-Wan Kenobi, is included in both LEGO Star Wars Summer Shorts and LEGO STAR WARS: Celebrate the Season.
On a sweltering day on the arid planet of Tatooine, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi found himself on the desert. After wiping perspiration from his brow, Kenobi's gaze fell upon his former apprentice, Darth Vader. Subsequently, Kenobi inadvertently crushed Vader's sand castle, which was a miniature representation of his fortress. Enraged, the Dark Lord of the Sith ignited his lightsaber and engaged his former master in a duel.
The pair engaged in an intense duel, exchanging a flurry of strikes. However, as the battle wore on, both Kenobi and Vader began to succumb to fatigue due to the oppressive heat, eventually collapsing to the ground. Some time later, they sought refuge under the shade of a tree, seeking respite from the binary suns. They resumed their combat, but soon found themselves needing another reprieve. Both combatants employed the force to conjure water fountains, but Vader was unable to partake due to the constraints of his armor. Consumed by envy, Vader prepared to launch an assault on Kenobi, but Kenobi used the Force to remove his helmet, exposing Vader's scarred visage. Kenobi extended an offer of a drink to Vader, and the two clasped hands in a gesture of truce.
Subsequently, Vader and Kenobi unwound and enjoyed refreshments in the desert landscape. As Vader drifted off to sleep, Kenobi grew irritated by his loud snoring and placed his mask back on him. This action only amplified the snoring, prompting Kenobi to seize Vader's beverage and hurl it at him. Vader awoke in a fit of anger, and the two resumed their lightsaber battle.
