There’s so many instances in TCW where “if only this happened then everything would be okay!” I love that show to death but it’s so heartbreaking knowing that nothing can be done to change what eventually happens. And now we’re finally at that point of no return. I have some emotions about his last season if you can’t tell.
Me, too, my friend. And there were so many points where if just one thing had changed:
If Anakin had only opened up to Obi-wan during the Rush Clovis episodes
If Obi-wan had only believed Dooku in AotC
If Ahsoka had only told the Council what Maul said prior to his capture
If the Council hadn’t succumbed to political pressure with Ahsoka’s trial
If Qui-gon hadn’t gotten so gung-ho about prophecy
If Dooku had only severed his ties with Palpatine
And that’s just off the top of my head. The last season was the worst for this, as they were teetering so close to victory, or at least, victory defined as the Jedi not being massacred and Anakin falling into the void. Sigh. It’s what I both love and hate about the prequels, in that they’re such a tragedy. An amazing tragedy, but also one that tears my heart out every time.
(I don’t think Obi-wan *ever* got that nap...)
