This shit really isn't that hard to do and it's baffling Disney keeps fumbling the writing like this.

Or even an earthquake/volcano erupting causing the ground beneath their feet to separate them (similar to TFA's ending). Anything really.
Similar to Reva's plan to kill Luke making no sense, Kenobi's decision to leave the fight in that moment took me out of the episode. Kenobi is no pacifist, he was a war hero. If Obi-Wan truly thinks Anakin is irredeemable and he actually had the power to kill him (which also makes little sense to me in itself how he got so overpowered in the matter of days, but fine), there isn't really any good reason for him to still be alive after that fight. Other than, of course, that he has to be for the franchise's continuity.
We got a good fight, but as I said earlier, I would have preferred the series end after a great E5.
