the republic still would have fallen and become the empire with or without Anakin so I'm thinking of fun shenanigans aus of Anakin and Obi Wan having to be in hiding with the twins Kenobi show style (Padme still dying maybe she thought Anakin was dead. Maybe Palpatine killed her) Im stuck between Anakin having to be on the run separate from his children for their safety and having to save Obi Wan and Leia during the Kenobi show adventure dressed in disguise to hide from a Palpatine that's still obessesed with making him his apprentice. Or Obi Wan thinking Anakin was killed by Palpatine and realize he's been in hiding all this time. Thinking his family is dead. Either way obikin reunion during the Kenobi show where Anakin never fell to the dark side. Anakin saving Obi Wan and Leia as the man in black.
I love love love thinking about Anakin and Obi-Wan being together in the Kenobi series because Obi is going through hell but he looks so fucking delicious and feral
My man looks so good in that show and he’s always been a bit feral but he’s just a straight up brawler on demon mode in this. Delicious, absolutely delicious
He’s also such a dad in that, like Obi is so soft for Leia 😭. He holds her hand and shit, I’m crying. He’s such a dad
He’s gripping her, like look at how he’s cradling her 😭. They should’ve just left her with Obi. He would’ve been like “yeah no you’re not going alone to get the deathstar plans, I’m calling Vos. He can do it”
And baby Luke and baby Leia being together ❤️ they need to be together
I can’t decide if Anakin would see Obi-Wan’s overgrown beard and be like “ok master, the long hair is sexy and can stay but we’re trimming the beard right now. I can’t see your dimples 🥺” or if he’d be completely feral and unhinged over his master not being obsessively polished. Like I can imagine them reuniting and Anakin just immediately jumping his bones because he’s so horny for the rough unpolished master Kenobi look
Your angsty idea of Obi thinking Anakin is dead is so good, it’s perfection. Like he’s devastated and dreams about Anakin dying alone somewhere away from him and he hates himself for not protecting his Padawan, but he’s going to keep the twins safe at all costs and Anakin thinking all of them are dead and then they finally find each other. They would be bawling for days (and other things 😏)
