The scene
At the climax of the lightsaber duel on the volcanic planet Mustafar, Obi-Wan leaps onto a riverbank above Anakin. He warns him: “It’s over, Anakin! I have the high ground.” Anakin replies “You underestimate my power!” and, despite Obi-Wan’s “Don’t try it”, jumps anyway, with disastrous results.
The line is used to claim victory in an argument, or to joke that being higher up beats everything.
