I’ve lived my life in the structure of the Jedi Order. Yes, it was an organization with a goal- but it was also a family. I said it myself: Anakin was my brother. I had many brothers and sisters. And fathers and mothers. And even a strange little green uncle. I don’t have that home now. I don’t have that family. Almost every friend I’ve ever had is dead.
“I didn’t give in to evil. Not now. Not ever. And you only win now because I let you win.”
*Then Vader ends up confusedly kicking some empty clothes around, like it’s laundry day, and wondering what the hell happened. He is so utterly perplexed and unsatisfied.*
Master vs. Student. But Obi Wan always owned Anakin’s ass at the end, didn’t he?
I’ve said before: I do, frankly, love the
fact that Obi-Wan’s death scene is one gigantic mind game:
Hey Anakin, I was
still alive after all;
I’m here for
reasons you don’t totally understand and I won’t disclose;
I’m facing off
with you for some reason when surely I know I can’t beat you now;
Oh BTW, this
kid you’ve never seen before, who has Force Waves radiating off of him, came
here with me;
I’m not gonna
tell you who the kid is;
I’m not gonna
tell you what I meant when I told you that killing me would only make me
stronger;
I’m gonna cap
this all off with physically becoming the
Force right in front of you, which is something you maybe had no idea was even possible;
Well, have fun trying to figure all this out, Anakin! Sure
looks to me likeI might still have
the high ground after all. CHECKMATE, MY
VERY YOUNGAPPRENTICE. KENOBI OUT.
“Anakin was still alive in Obi-Wan’s mind. Obi-Wan was engaged with him so
intensely that he expected his apprentice to walk over one of those shifting
sand dunes and grin at him again. Or scowl. He’d take anything. Any mood, any defiance. Just to see him again.”
Jude Watson’s The Last One Standing.
this proves that if you take away all the horrible dialogue, awkwardness, bad editing, and repulsive graphics from the prequels, they could have really been something worthwhile
Obi Wan, who knows full well that is anakin’s fucking nightmare robot: i don’t recall
it is possibly technically true that obi-wan did not, personally, himself, ever own a droid. notice he doesn’t say that he doesn’t know Artoo, just that he doesn’t recall (shifty word) ever owning a (indefinite article) droid. what droid? any droid. that is exactly the type of lie he specialized in.
