Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith
marks one of the biggest and most important turning points in the entire saga. Who doesn’t remember the breathtaking battle between Anakin Skywalker, his master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the cameraman.
Don’t you? You’re not the only ones there. It took almost 20 years for a Star Wars fan the face of a crew member noticed that can be seen during the legendary fight scene. And it’s pretty big and right in the middle of the picture. You can find out what this is all about in this article.
Is there a person in the flames?
The Reddit user itsjustmonty_ read in a Star Wars Discord channel that there was an unknown face in the picture during the fight scene on Mustafar. Of course, he checked it immediately and found that it was true.

Even though the face is quite large and fairly centered in the picture, it is not that easy to spot. We have marked it for you in the screenshot below. Also, if you want to check it yourself, you have to stop the film at 1:59:03.

How could that happen?
itsjustmonty_ became curious about whose face it was in the scene and, most importantly, how it got there. So he did some research and then assumed that the person was a cameraman.
The camera is comfortable while recording swung too far to the side and didn’t cover the crew member’s face any further
