So uncivilized.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Obi-Wan’s distaste survives the fact that the unfavoured weapon has just saved him. The dry judgment restores his familiar composure after an improvised victory.

Spoilers for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the SithShow the scene
The line comes at the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi's duel with General Grievous on Utapau in Revenge of the Sith. Grievous has thrown Obi-Wan across a platform; Obi-Wan hangs from the edge as the cyborg advances with an electrostaff. Obi-Wan uses the Force to call Grievous' blaster to his hand and fires through the gaps in the armour at the organs he exposed earlier, killing him. He then says it, disgusted at having used a blaster, an unlikely weapon for a Jedi. The film then cuts to Anakin, who finds Mace Windu, hears that Obi-Wan has destroyed Grievous, and tells him Palpatine is a Sith lord.
