He was gone already.  I seem to recall that that scene gave the
people doing the filming great headaches.  They tried putting
dummies in for Obiwan just before Vader strikes him, but every
time Vader hit the dummy with the light saber it (no kidding)
burst into flames (now there's an effect:  Obi Flambe!)!  So,
I guess they just hung up Obi's robe and let Vader swing away
at it.
