Achilles Space

Achilles demonstrated his agreeability when he loosed a bloody battle howl and surged toward Kenobi. It was as though the lessened gravity did not even affect him, he sprinted with all the grace and agility as a human on Earth. His environment was no factor in his celestial greatness. What had Dio done? Kenobi barely had time to think. Achilles was certainly a fictional character, or else an absurdly exaggerated legend—had Dio somehow made flesh this unreal depiction?

The spear lunged forward. Kenobi span and sliced its head off with his saber, but Achilles whirled around and whipped the blunt shaft against his chest. It might as well have been a bullet, the air wrenched out his throat and the heft launched him airborne, into the wall of the castle. Hard stone cracked against his back but luckily his helmet absorbed a potentially deadly blow to his skull. He had to recover—fast. Before he even began his descent he clung to the wall via the Force and rolled up to avoid Achilles' flung spear. Even without its head, the dull end of the stick stuck in the rocky castle face. Quite convenient, as it gave Kenobi a springboard off of which to launch himself—not toward his foe, but onto the ramparted castle roof.

As expected, Achilles leapt after him, and it was unclear how much of his immense jump was due to the Moon's gravity and how much was due to strength alone. It mattered little—he had made an ill-advised maneuver. After all, Kenobi 'had the high ground'.
