Yeah, in Episode III he gets thrown in a pit of molten lava during a lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan on the planet Geonosis. He is revived by Sith technicians. That was when Anakin Skywalker died and Darth Vader came into being.

That’s old. The lava thing comes from an early draft of the Episode V script. The planet was originally called Ttaz, but Episode II has a geologically active planet called Geonosis (that’s Greek for “knowledge of the earth”), a mining station that is touched by the Clone Wars.

You can find more information at this location.
