Achilles Immortality

One swing of the saber ought to have ended it. Kenobi didn't bother exercising nonlethal tactics on an enemy that had no right to exist. He went for the neck—and his saber bounced off with a spray of sparks. Kenobi staggered back, amazed.

The sight of a lightsaber bouncing off bare flesh was not one you saw every day, or ever really.

"ἀλλὰ φίλος θάνε καὶ σύ: τί ἦ ὀλοφύρεαι οὕτως; κάτθανε καὶ Πάτροκλος, ὅ περ σέο πολλὸν ἀμείνων," replied Achilles.

"I guess not."
