Anakin could go limp and Obi and the audience assume he is dead, Obi turns and leaves to go save Padme. As their ship flies away we see another shot of Anakin's body, then a close up of his robotic hand and the fingers grasping the dirt letting us know that he is still alive. Fade to black. Next scene.
I don't think we could pull it off, but it would be interesting to see Anakin actually dead, but the creepy, robotic hand pull Anakin out of danger on it's own.
Back to reality, who's in charge of the Ranch these days? Could we get some decisions on this set in stone? I know we are waiting for SOTDS to be finished, but it shouldn't stop us from at least getting the pre-production done.
