Been on tumblr for five years and still have no idea how this thing works. This page is a mess an analogy to my life. Probably a lot of Star Wars content, and MCU, and whatever my mind is on these days.
Obi-Wan being nearly crushed by Vader while remembering Anakin’s hate and terrible words vs. Obi-Wan finding the strength to survive and fight as he remembers his children’s happiness and hope for their future….. how is the mental breakdown going for you, fellow prequels stans
The fight of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in Part VI of the series is the mountain top of emotionally driven narrative storytelling of a fight scene, and here is why.
Obi-Wan, during most of the fight, isn't in the defensive. This is the Master of Soresu, the most defensive lightsaber form you can specialize in. But in the fight with Darth Vader, unlike during his duel with Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar, Obi-Wan is advancing. Even in the beginning, even before he was buried beneath the stones. Obi-Wan is having the upper hand, even if it's not that obvious. He is determined, strong-willed, he knows what he has to do. "I will do what I must" - defeat Darth Vader (not Anakin, to parallel Mustafar). He has to end this. But while he is 100% in tune with his skills, his purpose as a Jedi, ("Your strength has returned"), there is still a component left that he hasn't adressed fully, completely: Anakin Skywalker. The grief, the pain, the regrets.
And thus, when they battle through the Force, Darth Vader bests him. Because the Force relies on being absolutely in-tune with one's emotions, also. And Obi-Wan, at that moment, is still not - and this "weakness" is his love for Anakin Skywalker.
"Your strength has returned. But the weakness still remains."
When they clash lightsabers again after that, it is Obi-Wan who is now on the defensive, for the first time really, during their fight. Suddenly, he is losing. Because he still has not let go of Anakin Skywalker.
Darth Vader says: Love is the weakness. Compassion is the weakness. "And that is why you will always lose."
And in that pivotal moment, when he is buried beneath the stone, when he is barely managing to not be crushed completely, when is is tormented with memories of Anakin, with all this unspeakable agony, the regrets of failure, and torment of what has happened, what has been lost... it is love that saves him. The love for Anakin Skywalker's children. The bond to them, and the hope they give him. In particular, the one to Leia. And this, in turn, is also his love for Anakin Skywalker himself.
The weight of those stones, a metaphor for the the crushing torment of what Anakin and him have done to each other. And he literally frees himself from it. He begins to unburden himself. He flings hundres of tonnes of stone away. He catches up to Vader. He uses some of Anakin's own moves to attack him. He overpowers and force-pushes Darth Vader, the Chosen One, the most powerful force-user known in history, away after 15 seconds of fighting.
And then... the stone-lifting scene. Throwing the weight of all those stones, the metaphor for all this grief and torment, back at Darth Vader. And then Obi-Wan goes on to absolutely obliterate Darth Vader. He cuts his mask. And then, it isn't Darth Vader. It's Anakin Skywalker that looks back at him.
And then, Obi-Wan... say sorry. He apologizes. Not to Vader. He apologizes to Anakin. He cries. His heart is breaking. It may even be one last attempt to call upon Anakin Skywalker, his best friend, to save him. And then, once he realises, that it is not possible - that Darth Vader has destroyed him - he says gooodbye. He leaves.
And he let's go. And it is the love for Anakin, Padmé and their children that remains.
I CAN’T EVEN GIF THIS SCENE, IT’S TOO MUCH. The intensity of it, the absolute badass fight scene, contrasted against how sad this fight is.
It’s truly a successor to the Mustafar fight from Revenge of the Sith, which is a fight that none other in Star Wars has yet to beat when it comes to dramatics and emotional impact going hand in hand.
We have these two just flinging each other around, Obi-Wan and Vader know each other intimately, they weave and twist around each other all throughout the fight, even ten years later when they’ve both been so worn down or twisted by their time separated, they still know each other. They are still surprisingly evenly matched. They still are each others’ vulnerabilities.
No one can fight each other like these two fight each other.
The fight was incredible, it was epic, and yet the core remains these moments. This is the heart of the fight, of their relationship, of the series.
One of absolute and utter sorrow.
These two are larger than life, incredibly iconic characters, it would be so easy to get lost in how epic they are and how incredible this fight was. Obi-Wan was flinging him around like a rag doll! Vader was destroying the ground right under their feet! Obi-Wan lifted approximately five hundred rocks to fling at him! Vader crashed down on him like a tidal wave! Obi-Wan slammed into him until he literally took Vader apart!
But that’s not the heart of the fight. This is. The pain, the loss, the tragedy, the sorrow of what Anakin had become. Obi-Wan so desperately wants Anakin to come back, to see his old friend again, there is no question that he would help Anakin Skywalker back to the light. He reaches out with compassion when he sees Vader’s face, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Anakin. For all of it.” He sees Vader and it breaks his heart, he cries for this broken man, he would do whatever he could to help set it right.
Again, this could have been a badass moment where Vader leans into epic, undiluted rage. But the dark side isn’t just rage. it’s also fear. And pain. And suffering. That cutting Vader open to see the core of him isn’t just going to show us something cool and awesome, but someone sad. Someone lost in the dark. Someone suffering and afraid. Someone who says, “I am what remains.” as a lamentation of what he has become just as much as a vow.
When Obi-Wan cries for the death of his friend, we understand that some part of him still hoped, so desperately, that his friend would return. For years he couldn’t let go because Anakin’s death haunted him, he couldn’t live without the guilt and loss and suffering of having lost Anakin. But then Anakin is alive. And he’s done terrible things, but Obi-Wan can’t want him deal, Obi-Wan still loves him, some part of Obi-Wan is still holding on, because he wants his friend to come back.
But seeing Vader’s face, seeing that he knows this is the way of pain and suffering, but he’s choosing it anyway, Obi-Wan has to let go. His friend is truly dead. And it’s a loss. For all that this was an incredible battle between two powerful Force users who know each other intimately, the scene ends on loss and one letting go, while the other still clings to their pain.
We cannot help but remember Anakin Skywalker, the brilliant and shining young man that we all loved, that Obi-Wan loved so much. We cannot help but think of their parting on Mustafar, where Obi-Wan won the fight previously as well, that that too was an epic battle that ended in sorrow. Anakin flinging hateful words at him, but Obi-Wan only had tears and “I loved you.” for him.
This scene is the successor to that moment on Mustafar. “I’m so sorry. For all of it. My friend is truly dead. Goodbye, Darth.” and Obi-Wan still can’t kill him, even when maybe he should, but he has to let go, this cannot consume him anymore. He walked away on Mustafar, thinking he’d killed Anakin, but taking the weight of it with him. This time, he walks away knowing Vader lives, but leaving the weight behind with him.
For Obi-Wan, this is the completion of the circle of letting go. He’ll still offer Vader one more chance on the Death Star, will hold his weapon up instead of in position, will let Vader make the choice, will give him one more piece of advice in a warning, but it is here that Obi-Wan lets go of the weight in his soul that was holding on to Anakin Skywalker.
And all of it is a tragedy, Darth Vader is terrifying, we see him do impossibly brutal and terrible things, but when you cut him open, he is weak, he is miserable, and he keeps himself prisoner in the dark despite that he knows what it’s doing to him. And it’s so sad. None of us should ever want to be Darth Vader, no matter how cool he can sometimes be.
Because, at his core, he is nothing but fear, misery, pain, and suffering.
Clem, I have a feeling that this show is going to rip me apart… I can’t wait, it’s going to be amazing !
So can we have a very soft moment with Anakin and Obi-Wan in a universe where they are happy (canon who?) or maybe SSK/ Jedi but ennemies where we have a vulnerable Obi-Wan (my✨favorite✨) like he has a nightmare or have very bad day and the only thing that keeps him grounded is to trace Anakan’s face’s features with the tip of his fingers and Ani leans into his touch 🥺🥺🥺
I chose to write 2.4k of an AU close in time to the Kenobi series, the slightly-too-early-clone-wars AU, where Order 66 happened when Anakin was 19 and still a padawan who fled the Temple and joined the Rebellion to be found by sad and resigned Obi-Wan 10 years later. Just enough hurt/comfort to handle the Kenobi series!
Sometimes, for a second, Obi-Wan forgets.
It doesn't happen often, but a moment of crossfire, orders given to people who will have to risk their lives in the next second or alerts of an imminent threat, and Obi-Wan is back in the clone wars.
And it almost feels good.
Then, at least, Obi-Wan had the Force to rely on.
At least Obi-Wan had the Order.
At least Obi-Wan had his family.
Obi-Wan shakes his head, focusing on his ship's console and entering his access code to let the Rebel base know he's approaching.
And not to expect the two pilots he left with.
His first Rebel mission, and already two faces he won't see again. His console beeps, authorizing his landing, and Obi-Wan braces for the grim face of Sato, asking for details. To know what to tell the families.
His mission's debriefing lasts longer than he would have wanted. He makes sure his voice stays levelled and neutral. He probably sounds too detached, with his arms crossed and his unwavering voice going through the ambush and the clinical description of his companions falling in front of him.
He can see it in Sato's eyes. His apathy doesn't bother him per se, but it doesn't make him like Obi-Wan more.
Obi-Wan prefers it this way.
The Rebels are good, reliable and trustworthy people, but there is nothing that links them to Obi-Wan. No constant flow of power from one soul to another forming an intricate crisscrossing pattern through the universe. No shared feelings and impressions of elation, sadness and joy, and the certainty of never being truly alone.
A connection is there, certainly, created by shared principles and the conviction that bringing justice and equity to the galaxy is possible.
But the silence in the Force resonates louder than the thousands of Jedi's voices used to.
Focus on the present, he used to tell Anakin. There is a time to reflect on the past, but there is no point in dwelling on it constantly.
Anakin.
Anakin might still be awake.
His steps grow just a bit faster.
In the silence of the hallway —it is the middle of the night after all— the noise of his boots on the floor seems to echo in a disproportionated way.
He only stops in the communal refreshers for a few minutes, taking the fastest sonic shower of his life and diverting his attention elsewhere when his eyes wander towards the mirror, before hurrying towards his quarters.
Disappointment floods him too fast for him to contain when he finds his tiny couch empty, a ratty old blanket haphazardly thrown on it as the only evidence of someone's else presence.
Obi-Wan can feel his shoulders sag, sighing before even thinking about it. The pain in his left arm from a rough kick that he shouldn't have missed seems sharper. The day finally takes its toll on him, and making his way to his bedroom feels like an insurmountable ordeal.
He drags his feet, bones aching in too many places to forget that he's been doing this for too long now. How many years of wars and fights and deaths and losses can a body endure before giving up?
The question runs through his mind while he sits on his untidy bed, getting out of his heavy boots with difficulty, and it's only when he makes to lie down that he realises that he isn't alone.
Anakin has always been a heavy sleeper.
Obi-Wan has found his padawan so many times half-lying on a crate, a bench or Obi-Wan's shoulder, in positions ridiculous enough that it would have reduced his own neck to throbbing pain for days.
Ten years later and the habit hasn't changed; Anakin is sprawled in a tangle of limbs and sheets, hair spread on Obi-Wan's pillow and drooling on his own biceps.
He shouldn't look so boyish, so innocent, now that he's almost in his thirties. But Obi-Wan suspects that he will always keep a certain childish eagerness to his features.
It is the loveliest sight Obi-Wan has ever seen.
It's a strange joy, the one that seizes him every time he sees Anakin.
A confused state of relief, nostalgia, and a bit of sadness too, but so much love that he barely knows what to do with it.
It is as if his mind still can't comprehend that he gets to have this, have Anakin back, that he didn't imagine the past month, finding his padawan after a decade of getting himself used to the idea that he was truly and irrevocably dead. That leaving him behind at the Temple to chase Grievous on Utapau, nineteen and angry and indignant, didn't sign his death warrant.
That the Order might be gone forever, leaving him asking if his home will only live in his memory now, but at least Anakin survived.
Knowing that he is alive would have been enough for him. But having him at his side makes the longing bearable.
Even something as simple as watching him sleep softens his heart and appeases his mind with an easiness that almost worries him sometimes.
"Are you going to spend the night watching me? You're getting creepier in your old age, master," Anakin grumbles, eyes still closed.
Obi-Wan is surprised by his own quiet but fond chuckle.
At the sound, Anakin opens one eye, rubbing the back of his hand over his mouth before smiling contently, as if this was the result he was hoping for.
Obi-Wan lies down, propping himself up on his elbow to face him. "What are you doing in my bed?"
"You took too long to come back. Couch's too small and I was tired."
It isn't the first time Anakin has found his way into Obi-Wan's bed since their reunion.
He jokes about it often, finds flimsy excuses and protests that crossing the hallway that separates their quarters to get to his own bed is an inhuman feat and Obi-Wan would be cruel to ask this of him.
Obi-Wan probably shouldn't let him get away with it so easily.
After all, even if he never finished his training, Anakin was his padawan. And Anakin still calls him his master.
The title doesn't ring the same though. It's lacking the defiance of his teenagehood or the respectful distance the name is supposed to create between them.
It almost sounds like a pet name now.
It's one of the many things that feel like Anakin, his padawan Anakin, just slightly different.
"So needy," Obi-Wan chides teasingly. He masterfully ignores the calculating look Anakin sends him before slowly settling himself closer, bed shifting around them.
"Got years of neediness to catch up on. I'm going to be unbearable, you know that."
Anakin would have been ashamed by his own need, once upon a time. Would have looked away from his master, eyes low and fists hidden under his robe, locking the words he truly wanted to say deep in himself so Obi-Wan would have never been able to extract what he was thinking about and what he desired from him. Being put on display would have been the most terrible of humiliation for him.
These days, Anakin is utterly shameless when expressing what he wants.
"I am resigned to my fate, I suppose," Obi-Wan murmurs, too gentle. Too happy about the prospect of keeping Anakin close for just a bit longer.
Anakin takes the time to nuzzle in his —Obi-Wan's— pillow lazily. His smell will linger here for some time.
His face is completely hidden under the mess of golden brown hair now, and without his eyes on him, the temptation is too strong for Obi-Wan to resist the urge to run his hand through it.
Anakin groans, shoulder visibly relaxing. Obi-Wan pushes his fingers more deeply through his curls, stroking his scalp and letting his hand falls to his nape to run his fingernails against the warm skin there.
Anakin would purr if he could.
It's almost as soothing to him as it is to Obi-Wan.
They have been way more tactile than they used to be, since their reunion. It probably has to do with the weakness of their bond in the Force, a way to compensate for the loss of years spent sharing their thoughts and feelings through such an easy and natural connection.
Anakin turns his head towards Obi-Wan again suddenly. "You look..." He wants to say old. "...Tired. It didn't go well, hm?"
Using the Force... Using the Force isn't easy and natural, not anymore. Not to Obi-Wan. Years on the run have taught him to only rely on the Force as a last resort, and he's afraid that the void it created in him will never be filled again.
But he can still feel it. He can still make the effort to open himself to it, just a bit, just to feel the tentative bond reforming between them. A frail and delicate thread between their signatures, frayed and new at the same time.
Anakin, though, Anakin is still the brightest star in the galaxy, a red-hot intensity burning in the Force with such brilliance that it can never let any part of Obi-Wan in the shadow for too long.
There is no doubt he felt Obi-Wan's lingering sorrow the second he had a foot on the ground.
But it's almost recomforting, to have someone who can feel Obi-Wan, who doesn't need him to say anything to know.
It reminds him of home.
"Can I do anything?" Anakin asks, after Obi-Wan struggles with the simple act of opening his mouth to reply.
It's his sweetness that always renders Obi-Wan too tender. It's his eagerness to help that fills Obi-Wan's tired lungs with hope and comfort.
"This helps," Obi-Wan finally whispers, fingers brushing over his neck, his cheek, his eyes. "You help. I'm glad you're here, Anakin. I—"
He swallows with difficulty.
"I'm glad you're here too." Anakin turns his cheek into his hand, graciously saving Obi-Wan from an embarrassing declaration he wouldn't have been able to put into words anyway. "Being without you, it has been... Difficult. Lonely. I missed you. I miss the Order, the others, even the Council. I almost miss them telling me what to do," he chuckles darkly. "But you... You, I wasn't sure I could live without. I'm not sure I wouldn't have gone completely crazy after a while."
"You did well. More than that, even. You were alright for ten years."
Anakin snorts. "Barely. You can't even imagine the number of times Sato said I was flying like I had a death wish."
Anakin's voice is light and carefree, but his words make Obi-Wan's brows furrow.
"The next mission, we should... We should go together."
It isn't wise for two Jedi to be paired together, Sato has said. They're too valuable, would be too much to lose if they both end up dead.
Or worse, captured by the Empire.
While Obi-Wan has agreed with the logic, it hasn't stopped the selfish part of him to want to protest.
Anakin blinks quickly for a second before his face brightens and Obi-Wan almost turns his head away from such radiance, here and in the Force.
"Yes!" He beams, reaching blindly for Obi-Wan's night tunic and pulling, making Obi-Wan awkwardly aware of how little distance there is between them. "Absolutely! Kriff the others, I've worked here for long enough to get the partner I want! Alright, so tomorrow morning, once I've shaved you, we go to Sato and—"
"Once you've shaved me?" Obi-Wan interrupts.
"Well not completely, but come on, master. We both know a clean and well-trimmed beard suits you way better than whatever has been growing on your face. I thought that you would do something about it already, but clearly..." It's Anakin's turn to run his fingertips along his jaw, stroking the tangle of auburn and grey hair there. Obi-Wan barely catches the flash of mischievousness in his eyes before his beard is being tugged on playfully. "...I need to take matters into my own hands."
Obi-Wan snorts, batting Anakin's hand away.
He hasn't cared about how he looks in so long, hasn't found any interest in his reflection and the lines on his face for years. No need to confirm that the meticulous and proper Jedi master he was is truly gone.
But perhaps, with someone else, with Anakin—
His thoughts get derailed when Anakin's hand comes to touch his face once again, dragging his knuckles against his temple and through his hair, and Obi-Wan can only hold his breath, not daring to do anything that would make Anakin stop.
Anakin speaks as if he's just thinking out loud, the rhythmic movement of his hand lulling Obi-Wan toward a peacefulness he rarely achieves these days. "The hair I like, but we're getting rid of the rest."
We.
Them. Together.
It shouldn't be so easy to let his shield and guard down, shaken to the core by a few casual words.
Obi-Wan barely notices that he's letting his head falls, boneless that he is under Anakin's soothing hand, and it's only when his forehead presses against Anakin's shoulder and his hand closes securely around Anakin's hip that he realises that they unintentionally settled in a tight embrace, curled against each other.
Dread and a strange feeling of shame that he isn't feeling very remorseful fill him when he realises what he's done, and that Anakin's hand has stopped moving.
He shouldn't have done that.
He's ready to pull himself away and apologise, mortified, when he feels Anakin suddenly burying his face in his hair, a noise of approval lost there that sounds like 'definitely keeping the hair'. Only when Anakin's arms close around his shoulders and stay there does Obi-Wan allow himself to relax again.
"So you're my official barber now?" He says, trying to distract his mind from the affection that threatens to overwhelm him.
"Your beard looked like a womprat's nest the last time I left you by yourself," Anakin grumbles, words half-muffled. "Clearly you need me to take care of it for you."
"Oh, clearly."
"Glad we agree."
Obi-Wan smiles against Anakin's warm skin, brushing the incriminating beard against him and squeezing his hip teasingly.
But Anakin only hums gently, already drifting away again. Safe and untroubled.
"I'm glad too," Obi-Wan whispers to himself.
Sometimes, for a second, Obi-Wan forgets.
When Anakin is pressed against him, alive and warm and contented, talking about what they will do together the next day, Obi-Wan lets himself close his eyes and feels like there is still some good in the galaxy.
So I played Fallen Order for the first time… and I’m gonna talk about it even if no one read this because otherwise I’ll forget. This is my catharsis diary 😂.
I played Fallen Order for the first time and it was also the first time I’ve ever played PlayStation (PS4 to be precise) I wasn’t really into PS but I’ve been around the SW fandom long enough to know that I would like Fallen Order … and OMG it was excellent ?! (Not that I have many references for video games besides Mario kart) but honestly the story about grieving and loss and moving forward after a deep traumatic event ?! Amazing ! The cinematic sequence ? Brilliant ! The story line ? Captivating!
Okay it’s supposed to be a story about hope but honesty it’s so so sad. I knew it was post 66 orders but it’s just sad people coming together with sad past trauma (fall of the Jedi, betrayed by her master and thus living in a deep consuming hate lifestyle, survived the majority and her sisters being killed and so on). I mean wow, the scene where Trilla gets tortured into a Sith, I am 24 and I found it hard to watch, the ninth sister taunting Cal by telling him exactly what happens when you turn dark (the torture, exclusion, the people you once knew barely acknowledging you…). The echos Cal feels it’s like always a heart breaking story ?! (That padawan that had to bury her master AND died succumbing to their wounds?! Okay :) then :)))
Seriously Darth Vader is goddam scary in this… I mean I love Anakin Skywalker very deeply and it’s hard for me to watch Darth Vader without connecting him through Anakin’s lens (which is normal I guess) but what I mean is that I’ve almost never saw him as a heartless, cold, monster character, to me he is just so very broken (because I guess I’ve seen the saga in the 1,2,3,4,5,6 order, I don’t really remember or I was just hard to impress when I was a kid) even in Rogue One I was like OMG he is unstoppable (while still seeing the horrendous level of dehumanization of him y’a know) but he was never scary to me.
But here, « you have failed me Inquisitor » and sliced her … that was brutal I don’t really know how to describe it but yeah it was merciless. And of course the Drama Queen arrival, with the smoke, the music, waiting for Trilla to finish speaking, then waiting for her to feel him and we see her face when she’s hit by the realization that she is doomed, the fear in her eyes and the hopelessness, it is both really scary and impressive because there is no escape from him (my dumbass self being like… why doesn’t he have a health bar?? Okay so imma die, sorry Cal I won’t try I mean he is Darth Vader)
But also I love the family found story, Cal, my very very sweet baby but also the « You would be wise to surrender », « Yeah, probably » what a little shit 🥰🥰 I love him so much, the connexion with Cere (and I really loved to fact that he didn’t judged her or giving her hard time for giving up Trilla’s location when she was tortured), Greez and his weird wizard family is sweet, opening up to them as the story goes, BD1 my precious.
BD1. This droid his just so cute the « bidoudi » sound had me 🥺🥺🥺🥺 plus he is a badass and Cal’s self-proclaimed best friend and savior. And Merrin, my beloved I could rent about her for hours and I love her dynamic with Cal and how he has to prove himself again and again to gain her trust and after that he immediately adopted her (the way she hugged him, I haven’t recovered yet). Plus her story is amazing and her voice is really super attractive and her design is just chief-kiss . Trilla, her story is spectacular and one of the best villain I’ve seen. She is a badass, unhinged only driven by hatred with no regards for herself and also profoundly wounded.
Oh and I honestly wasn’t excepting to see and fucking interact with Order 66?? I was like « you really are going to make me relieve it aren’t you ? » that part of the game hit me hard + Anakin’s Betrayal soundtrack had me almost in tears.
I finished the game in a week and now I feel like my life is over. But it’s not because I have 2 exams tomorrow. And I will NOT be passing away before the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.
But god I loved that game plus I heard (lol no I clearly googled it) that there might me a Fallen Order 2 👀👀
I wish I would play it for the first time again… and now I’m off looking for fanfic about it because I want MORE.
The ashes of Jedha outfit was really nice and I wanted Anakin to wear it. I also love the commonality of father and son growing up in the desert. Lord Vader carrying Luke is my favorite motif<3
Funny I was thinking about how obvious Anakin is and this amazing anon sent you the same prompt and I can’t stop imagining the possibles scenes like :
When Obi-Wan is in the « fuck it imma flirt with him he cute » part of his life, Anakin is completely clueless like :
Obi-Wan : you hair look dashing today darling
Anakin : thanks I grew them myself
Or
Ahsoka : why did master Kenobi brought you flowers again ?
Anakin : I don’t really know but he complained a lot about the appartement smelling like oil lately so I guess that’s why
Or :
Obi-Wan : I brought you this very rare piece of technology for your upgrade on Artoo dear one
Anakin : if this is the way you are apologizing for going to Dex with Quilan instead of me… well it’s working thank you so much master ☺️
Or, Obi-Wan trying a very bold technique since Anakin isn’t receptive at all :
Obi-Wan : straddling Anakin’s hips
Anakin : … what is it Master ? Do you need me to check you contact lenses again ? Why are you blushing ? Are you sick, do you need to go to the Hall of Healing ? You know what, you never say when you need to go so we’re are going.
In the end Obi-Wan try a more direct approche :
Obi-Wan : Anakin, how do you think I should tell someone I love them ?
Anakin : very heartbroken but trying to be a good friend … well if we are past the whole attachment thing I guess you need to be direct and sincere and just tell them « I love you »
Obi-Wan : right… Anakin, I love you
Anakin : I love you too master, now go tell them
Obi-Wan : … tell me Anakin, has anyone ever told you that you are very obvious ?
Anakin : well Ahsoka mentionned that I’m kinda clueless when it comes to feelings and all… I tend to agree I genuinely think that even if someone slapped me across the head to tell me they love me, romantic way of course, I wouldn’t recognize it
Obi-Wan : proceed to slap him across the back of the head
Anakin : Ouch ! Master ! What was that for ?
Obi-Wan : stares into to camera, *nah it’s on me I should have slapped harder *
all of these are SO good I think obi-wan would just turn it into a scientific experiment at one point, just to see how far he can push it and Anakin would stay oblivious. He would say things like "darling let's just have a picnic here, just us, so we can watch the sunset together and I can lovingly stroke your hair as we fall asleep curled around each other"
"oh that sounds great! yeah let's do it! ahsoka will be so jealous she couldn't join us ahah"
"......fascinating"
This is absolutely hilarious, after the 14th attempts where even Rex ended up blushing, Obi-Wan decide to carry a little notepad to write down everything and Anakin’s reaction like :
Obi-Wan : my darling I think we should fall asleep together, you pressed against my chest and my arms all around you
Anakin : what an excellent idea ! I read somewhere that being cuddled improve sleep pattern master !
I have this hc that during the first years of apprenticeship, Anakin would be all over Obi-Wan, relentlessly asking so many questions about everything but being very shy and sweet when it comes to himself like :
9-years-old-sweet-bean-Anakin, walking to his shared quarter : Hey Master Obi-Wan Jedi Knight Sir, I wanted to talk to you about something, it’s not really important, I can wait, I don’t want to be a bother… are you free right now ? Ohhh you are meditating, it’s fine I’ll ask you later. I just fell down from the big tree in the room of a Thousand Fountains because there was a baby lothcat stuck in one of the branch, nothing really important, the lothcat is fine but he ran away, anyway my arm kinda hurt so I’ll just sit by the wall and wait for you to be done
Obi-Wan, hyperventilating : aNAKin GO TO THE HEALING HALL I SWEAR TO THE FORCE—
Additional scene : later in their quarter
Anakin : Master are you mad at me *pout*🥺🥺🥺?
Obi-Wan : Of course not my padawan, I just wished you would be more careful
Anakin : I will be Master, so I’ve been wandering do you like lothcat ? Do you think lothcate communicate through the Force? I heard somewhere that they only meow around people so do you think we could communicate with them ? Do you think they could teach me agility ?
There were more questions after and that how Obi-Wan knew that his padawan was going to be fine. And they both went to the Archive to learn more about lothcat
OMG!!!! OMG!!! I've screaming for 18 minute straight !! Who's gonna SCREAM with me !!!!! BABY LUKE!!! DUEL OF THE FATE SOUNDTRACK !!! THE INQUISITORS!!! OBI-WAN MY BELOVED!!!!!!!! It’s GLORIOUS!!!
O.M.G i screamed so much during that episode ! I mean COBB!!!! Bane !!! Grogu!! Happy non-reunion featuring Mando and Grogu !!!! Ahsoka AND Luke !!!!! Boba little nod at Din !!!! Freaking sanctuary blown up ( I HOPE the musicians are okay 😭😭😭)
You guys can you imagine if Anakin and Obi-Wan stayed in Obi-Wans apartment for a night to have fun and forget about the war and promptly got drunk and somehow the Council calls and ask both of them to come and of course Obi-Wan is willing to go and Anakin is like :
Anakin : no I won’t go this is outrageous we haven’t had a chance to relax in 4 months and the one night we take for ourselves we can’t have it ?!
Obi-Wan, knowing how to handle Anakin : it’s fine dear one, I’ll go alone since you refuse to go with your old master and let the Council believe that you can’t handle your liquor and make the right move when they need you like a grown up Jedi knight that I know you are
