Which character saves Anakin and Obi Wan from being crushed by a giant beam?

Master Yoda saves Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from being crushed by a giant falling pillar during the climax of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.

After Count Dooku defeats Anakin and Obi-Wan in a lightsaber duel on Geonosis, the two Jedi are weakened and unable to stop Dooku from escaping. Dooku uses the Force to tear a large support column from the structure and hurl it toward them. Yoda arrives just in time and uses the Force to hold the massive debris aloft, allowing Anakin and Obi-Wan to escape.

The scene is important because it demonstrates Yoda’s extraordinary mastery of the Force, complementing his earlier reputation as the Jedi Order’s most experienced and powerful master. It also marks the first time audiences see Yoda engage in a lightsaber duel, when he confronts Dooku after saving the younger Jedi.

A common mix-up is crediting Mace Windu, who is present elsewhere in the Geonosis battle, or confusing the falling pillar with the arena creatures and collapsing droid factory machinery. The rescue itself is performed by Yoda.
