the way vader yells obi wans name in the last episode of kenobi has haunted my own personal narrative for the past four years. the anguish in his voice as it rips at his already damaged vocal cords. the mix of the robotic voice and a sliver of anakin's actual voice combining and showing how they really are the same person. the way vader yells in complete rage and fury of being denied blood once again when he was so close, while anakin's scream is like a fearful child who wants nothing more than for obi wan to turn around and tend to his wounds. two sides fighting for control, two desperate wants. maybe part of anakin's scream was pleading for obi wan to keep running. maybe part of vader's scream was him reaching out to hurt obi wan one last time while he still could.
