I'm from germany and the whole formal you between Anakin and Obi-Wan was never weird for me before I started watching in english. Like this was the way and I never thought differently about it. But germans do that a lot and it bothers me. Like in BBC Sherlock John and Sherlock use the "Sie" (the normal formal you) and in Doctor Who Amy, Rory and even River use it as well for the Doctor (don't know if you know either of those shows btw lol). Like they're best friends, why would they do that??

thomas-hamilton said: In Latin American Spanish he uses the formal “You” for Obi-Wan most of the time. I think on episode three it’s only in front of others while in between them is informal. 

Spanish translators are just a bit better then, even if using both an informal and formal ‘you’ still seems a bit weird 

I agree with everyone, and I think they do tend to put a formal ‘You’ everywhere because without the distinction in English, we never have the transition between a formal ‘You’ used because they’ve just met/power imbalance, and the casual ‘You’ when they’re friends (I saw some doctor who episodes in french and hearing Amy using a formal ‘you’ for the doctor was indeed really weird, I can’t even imagine it with River) 

I was not expecting him to say that, if there was ONE character who would use the formal ‘you’ it would be him, but no, he’s just like ‘YO Dooku what’s UP man’ 

It can be, it’s also the norm to use a formal ‘you’ with teachers in my country, but with Obi-wan???  And it sounds even more intense in German (I’m now picturing 9-year-old Anakin being like ‘okay this cool guy is now my master, how can I show him he’s the greatest and I want to be like him? Oh I know, treat him like ROYALTY’)
