4:34 Vader you have your own ship - chase down your emotional baggage and send the ISD to chase the ‘insurgents’; you don’t need an audience to engage Obi Wan, and the ISD is better off intercepting the renegades without you 🤷♂️
After i watch an ep of anything Star Wars, I always come straight to your channel and then The Normies ( But shh .. don't tell them that ) ..
Ayyy
Just wanted to hear Liam Neeson say , Leia ... She's been taken!
I'd like to think this episode demonstrates that Owen and Beru weren't gunned down by the Empire without a fight, and their resistance was why their bodies were reduced to smoldering skeletons when Luke found them.
Yes I think so too. They probably took a lot of storm troopers with them which is why they were killed so brutally.
They'll protect anything to keep Luke safe!
That's *exactly* what I was thinking! They weren't just shot and left for dead. They were burned to a crisp. They weren't even recognizable. The stormtroopers made it personal and I love how this episode gave depth to those characters to make their future appearance more impactful.
I definitely loved that it gave them more agency. Like, Obi-Wan didn’t choose them to raise Luke *just* because they were family. There were possibly better candidates. He believed they’d give everything to protect him too.
Those bodies weren't beru and Owen's. They killed some stormtroopers and went hunting for Luke and had three movies of adventures
The Emperor wanted to turn Luke to protect him from Beru Whitesun
The mix of Hayden/James voices are so well done. Vader's voice changing back and forth is badass and heartbreaking at the same time
Also Anakin's face glowing both blue and red while he was conflicted by Kenobi's apology, but the glow returned to red as he embraced the dark side once more. Great symbolism.
@@HelplessTeno Then there's a lot of people who are saying by Vader saying he killed Anakin and that it wasn't Obi Wan's failure, that's sort of a "I forgive you". But then theres the menacing smile when he delivers the line that seems to convey making Obi Wan feel pain.
@@LyricalViking I can see what people are saying with that but I think it goes more with the line Vader later says to Luke, "Obi Wan once thought as you do". In that Obi Wan was trying to reach out to Anakin and apologize in ghe same way that Luke tried to reach out to Anakin so he would reject the dark side. Vader saying HE killed Anakin and not Obi Wan seems to me that it's his way of saying dont bother. Similar to Ahoska also trying to talk to Anakin but Vader again rejects her compassion
It wasn’t as smooth imo
Yea but rebels did it way better
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry Anakin…”
Ewan and Hayden’s performances there were so powerful in that moment
I definitely agree with you. It was the best part of this episode for sure. 👏
One of the best moments in all of Star Wars I think
@@Superdelphinus it brings more clarity to Obi-Wan telling Luke about his father in the original trilogy.
So yes, I agree for that reason alone. 🙂
Loved the part after that even more. During their conversation while the "voice" doesnt work, so you hear Anakin instead of "Vader", his (Anakin / Vader) face is blue because of Obi-Wans lightsaber and after he said "he" killed him(self) its turns red because of his own lightsaber. There is good in him.
And yeah Ewan and Haydens chemistry is perfect holy f*ck.
The high point of the entire series thus far, to me, was that moment of acting between them.
Most of the series has been pretty meh to bad aside from that, and it makes me sad that we could've had so much more if they'd given Ewan more to do.
when obi-wan said: "then my friend is truly dead” is the same thing Luke said to darth vader “then my father is truly dead” hearing Luke say a similar thing must’ve effected him deep
And Ahsoka: “then I will avenge his (anakin’s) death.”
@@Squeekysquidwhat
That smirk on Vader's face when he says "I did"... after that the transition to the red on his face and the: "The same way i will destroy you!".. My God
I interpreted his line differently, the lighting on his face was still blue so I took it to meant it was Anakin lamenting over how much he fucked up but his Sith side took over when it transitioned to red; basically the same beats when he was talking to Ahsoka
It is very unsettling. I love it.
It was like he was literally demonically possessed by the dark side
Hayden did such a great job 😁
@@daepappy Same, for a brief moment Anakin did sort of comfort Obi Wan. That's how I interpreted it before his face glows in red and Vader glees that he killed Anakin. Not Obi Wan.
Ahsoka took off the right side. Obi-Wan took off the left side. But only Luke could fully remove the mask.
You mean only Luke could fully remove the Dark Side?
@@dandydeadpool well yeah but vader fully takes off his mask for luke st the end of return of the jedi
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
"Luke, help me take this mask off."
what if ahsoka and obi wan teamed up though
12:25 Ewan Mcgregor’s acting during this scene, his display of emotions and the line delivery of “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Anakin, for all of it” made me so emotional. Obi-Wan feels responsible for Anakin’s downfall and he feels he could maybe get Anakin back, but he then realizes Anakin is truly gone. The way Ewan’s amazing acting emits Obi-Wan’s emotions during this scene really hit me to my core.
That shit was about to drive me to tears. Fucking amazing acting.
@@angelopellicci179 Oh yeah for sure, 100%. I ain’t going to lie, my eyes watered up and I actually shed a few tears. It’s just that this moment between Obi-Wan and Anakin was really powerful and meaningful, so it really got me in my feels.
And for how Vader quotes to Luke later "Obi-Wan once thought as you do." Likely now refers to this scene.
I don't have many movements in film/TV where I come to tears.... regardless of how much I love it. Mufasa in Lion King(oddly enough another James Earl Jones classic performance) gets me to tears, but Ewan absolutely killed it this entire show and that scene got me and even watching this reaction got me again.
I got chills during this line. It feels SO real. Ewan’s acting... I just, I feel like I’m watching real life. It doesn’t even feel like he’s acting. I don’t remember the last time an acting performance felt this real to me.
I actually hope Ewan wins some awards for this series. His acting, especially in this scene, feels scary real and is so emotional.
I REALLY appreciate Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru getting things to do in this finale. They both are such important characters; they raise Luke! But they’re never mentioned or given any love
yes 💙
In an old EU story, Owen actually kills Darth Maul after he returns to kill Obi-Wan while he's watching Luke. So he's had important things to do before, just not in current canon until now.
They have done some badass stuff in both Legends and Canonical comic books.
It’s a damn shame Luke pretends they don’t exist after they die
Anakin Skywalker: I hate sand, it's coarse, it's rough and it gets everywhere.
Darth Vader: I hate rocks, they are big, they are hard and they hit me everywhere.
I laughed at that one
This was good. Gave me a good chuckle.
Well technically a sand little version of a rock
"Palpatine is such a dick"
That sums up Star Wars very well.
Same.....when he showed up, I had just finished wiping my tears...And instead of being happy that Ian Mcdiarmid arrived...I went "You piece of shit...this is all because of you!"😁
For many years I always wondered why Obi Wan gave Luke to Owen and Beru and why he didn't train him until Luke was 19. I do like the given answer now with how unlike the jedi in general, Luke needed a loving family. Anakin had his mother but was taken away and it hurt him so logically letting Luke have a real childhood and not be another tool for the jedi to destory the sith is appropriate
Not only that Obi wan needed to limit his access to the force to hide from Vader and thusly was weakened. Yea also allowing him to be a kid will give him a more rounded life.
the show "the boys" does something similar. the homelander (superman equivalent) was raised without a family and turned into a monster. like anakin lost his mother. owen and beru are more important to luke's development than anybody ever realized. their loss in episode 4 is even more awful now.
Yeah Obi realized what both the children needed was a normal family. What Anakin was robbed of.
Anakin was taken from his mother, Luke came to Obi-Wan on his own
Owens’ ‘He is my own’ was so great.
Star Wars standing up for found family is my favourite genre.
Kenobi describing Leia's qualities as being the best parts of her parents had me in tears. I really wish they could have seen their kids grow up and be happy.
Yeah I like how it hammers in the notion that Obi Wan finally acknowledges that his friend is "dead" but still holds onto his memories and tells Luke and Leia the positives
That scene made me curious that if Vader had found out his twins survived at this point in his life would that have given him the hope to return to the light or would he have simply kidnapped them and tried to twist both to the darkside for his Emperor like he attempted a decade later with Luke?
@@joeg6478 the emperor wouldn’t let him near them.
@@RelyYt - the emperor has no idea they exist either tho
@@joeg6478 He knows even at this point that he *can* return to the light- he just doesn't want to. And he didn't want to turn Luke *for* the Emperor as much as he wanted to defeat the Emperor *with* Luke, so they could "rule together as Father and Son".
So yeah, he'd def try and turn them, and given they're kids right now he'd have a much better chance of succeeding imo
There’s something about actually hearing anakins voice and seeing him under that suit, under all the anger, hate and pain, is just someone who’s hurting, someone who was done wrong by everyone he trusted, It truly breaks my heart, Anakin has lost himself so completely, and become so unrecognizable, that no one can see that he is just in pain.
One of the most tragic characters i've ever seen, really well played and demonstrated in this episode.
Whatever wrong was done to Anakin was no excuse or reason for Anakin to go to the dark side of the force.
I mean no offense but he was the one who wronged everyone else. He chose the path he did and those closet to him were loyal to him until he betrayed every single one in the worse way possible by turning to the dark side and becoming a monster.
@@TheRivrPrncess Sure, I don't think anyone thinks Anakin is justified in what he does. But that's the way he feels and you can understand it without condoning it.
And this is why everyone lost hope in him, even his own master in the end as we saw here
But there were two who never lost that hope, that good that they saw within him wanting to come out, and the one who saved him in the end because of that very fact.
That first “I’m sorry” muttered by Ewan so broken made me tear up. Suddenly I was an 11 year old boy watching Vader and Obi Wan on Mustafar in ROTS hoping for the outcome to be different every time. Just a powerful show; it had its ups and downs but this episode made up for all the downs we saw earlier.
I was an 11 year old boy when I saw Star Wars. Nothing like it and was a fan since. 45 years later... this episode brought that feeling back.
This episode was great but overall the series is mid. I think a 6/10 and that is from Star Wars bias. I think they got the writers and directors wrong. Disney are pathetic. Reva's whole story line should have been cut from this.
His first "I'm sorry" was meant for Star Wars fans.
The “I am what remains” line is so good and incredibly devastating
@@JimH. 100% Ewan telling us he is sorry for being involved in this shit but he needed money. We understand Ewan. Disney must ruin everything. Money is more important than quality writing
I was 13 when I saw ROTS in theaters. This episode. That moment. “I’m sorry Anakin.” That was catharsis built up over 17 years being released. Hayden and Ewan spoke to my soul.
Same. Teenager me who has been distraught for all these years just BROKE at that scene and I absolutely sobbed like a little baby 😂
The only reaction on CZcams that we’ve been waiting for…
Same
Blind Wave & Kyle Katarn for sure.
Same here
I don't know, Reel Rejects are pretty good too, but these are THE Star Wars nerds to watch
Agreed
Hearing Hayden's/Anakin's voice while in the suit brought tears to my eyes. Because u remember that HE is in there. It's not some rando in a mask, it's Anakin. I just watched ROTS again yesterday and to watch this episode so soon after was so emotional. Just to remember everything that happened to Anakin and remember the boy (now man) that's in that suit is so devastating and haunting. Sometimes when I watch the original trilogy and then this show, I forget about Anakin and only view the suit as Darth Vader, nothing more, so to see and hear Anakin in there again is just a tragic reminder of him and his story. So sad but so good.
that was the highlight of the entire series
Ahsoka broke the right side of his mask, Obi-Wan broke the left side. Both couldn't bring Anakin back, but Luke was able to completely take his mask off, bringing him back to the light. Very poetic.
Oh fuck 🤯
You could say it's like poetry, sort of, they rhymes
CZcams comment of the fucking year
More importantly, Anakin himself asks Luke to remove his mask. It's his decision to be Anakin again in his final moments instead of being Vader.
Nice catch
For 10 years obi-wan was all alone but I’m glad to know that for the next 9 years he will have his old master by his side 🥺
Force ghost Qui-Gon has particular set of skills. Skills he have acquired over a very long career. He will haunt you, and he will scare you.
Fun fact: In interviews Liam Neeson has constantly denied coming back to Star Wars. Keep in mind he returned for clone wars and he along with his son are going to be voices in the upcoming tales of the Jedi. In other words we had an Andrew Garfield situation on our hands.
Anyone who believes what actors say in interviews is a clown
On the other hand, he's also stated multiple times that he loved doing it - even while the prequels were getting all that hate, he was going "I had a blast so I don't care what anyone says about those movies"
You mean to say that Liam Neeson was the werewolf?
@@encased3427 what if they don’t believe the actor but the actor was actually telling the truth?
He’s got a very particular set of skills… I mean, these do not include surviving a lightsaber skewer
Great finale. This episode really makes Owen and Beru’s deaths more impactful!
It really does. And now we know they kicked some storm troopers ass before they were killed.
I like to imagine there are like 30 dead Stormtroopers in the Homestead that you can't see 😅
I've heard theories that Boba Fett was the one who killed them, which would make much more sense than one or two stormtroopers... although i'm fine with waves and waves of stormtroopers lmao
@@jackgroves2518 OH absolutely! Lol. I love the thought of them playing tower defense and smashing through a few squads all by themselves.
@@glaciere-sama3529 That actually makes sense because in Empire Strikes Back, Vader says to Boba "No disintegrations this time." Maybe he was talking about Owen and Beru?
That last yell from Vader will scar me for life. This is honestly the end of the prequel era for me. The true closure we wanted. Anakin is like an older brother figure to me and seeing what remains just breaks my heart and now a perfect bridge to ep 4. I love this.
I feel like the composition and voice also mirrors maul yelling KENOBI really well
OBIIIII WANNNNNN
@@astrosuperkoala1maul's Kenobi scream is way more powerful. Hayden's I hate you still takes the prize for me!
The scene when his persona switches from Anakin to Vader and back where he says, “I am not your failure Obi-Wan. You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker…, I did“ felt as if Aniken was saying they were my decisions. -That set Obi-Wan free from guilt.
Their performances were so impactful.
-The Disneyland Neighbor
@@CharityDiary the writers clearly meant it to be that way. That's why when he's saying those things. His face is shown in the light of a blue saber. Then when he says evil things, his face is shown in the light of the red saber.
You can read that into the scene, and it's clearly written to leave that interpretation possible. But let's not forget the way he *grins* when he says "I killed him." Like he's actually proud of himself. And then the light turns red too. Vader has been terrifying before, in an intimidating, awesome, kind of majestic way. But in this scene, for the first time, he was not just terrifying but actually creepy. To me it felt more like after a moment of pity, you just get to see Vader as completely irredeemably, creepily evil; with this really demented evil smile. This is the moment where Obi-Wan actually comes around to that idea that Anakin is actually, truly dead - and has been killed by Vader. I don't think Vader actually meant to consciously absolve Obi-Wan of any guilt - You genuinely saw Vader at his most disgustingly genuine evil, and that is why it's so hard for Obi-Wan.
Nah, that was pure malice from Vader. Anakin, at this point, is dead.
Looking back, I think the point of this scene is to explain why Obi-Wan goes from "You're my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" to "No, Luke, don't even try to redeem him, he's 100% evil, and has nothing in common with Anakin; more machine now than man; etc..." That's why at the end you also see Obi-Wan call Vader by his Sith-title for the first time.
@@MaxMustermann-hy9in there is no single point to the scene. These things are not mutually exclusive.
Meanwhile in Episode 4:
Darth Vader: Hey, Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan: Yes?
Darth Vader: Remember the last two fights we had with all the rocks and jumping and cool stuff?
Obi-Wan: Yes.
Darth Vader: ....we got so old.
Obi-Wan: Word.
Vader: Obi-Wan remember the time when I buried you under rocks🪨 and only walk a few feet 👣 away lol 😂
The most relatable thing in this entire series is Anakin being almost 40 and Obi Wan being in his 50s and just not bothering with the acrobatics of the first three films. Let’s just choose a dull rocky planet and not bother with the flips and crazy stunts because the force isn’t with these knees.
"Dude, this sucks! *WE* suck! What are we doing!?"
- Regional Manager Lord Vader
@@lpycb42 "the force isn't with these knees."
You fucking champion xD
Vader tried twice. Kenobi beat him twice, last time he goes to absolute powerful monster and beat shit out of him by dull side of lightsabre . So Vader in ep4 fought him much more carefully
The broken mask scene scene was one of the most viscerally emotional moments in all of Star Wars. I also noticed that whenever the blue of Obi-Wan’s saber reflected onto Vader, Obi-Wan was making an appeal to Anakin. The soul of Anakin was trying to resurface. But then, when the lighting turned red, the dark side overtook Vader again. Incredible execution there.
Man, like, I had a few different complaints and nitpicks throughout this series, but I just loved so much of it. Moments like this scene made my love of the narrative overpower the other things I didn’t care for (i.e. certain writing decisions, some moments of execution, etc.)
Since Star Wars Rebels?
@@jasonsacchi haha, I mean, I think it’s awesome we have both versions of this concept. We have two moments where people who were close to Anakin broke through that outer shell of Vader and caught a glimpse of Anakin, both literally and metaphorically. I think Rebels did it great, and this moment was great too.
I kinda felt like the Dialogue and some of the things were just taken from prior films and shows like the mask thing from rebels, "i will do what i must from" ROTS and "then you'll die!" From rebels. it felt like a odd choice of Dialogue between vader and obi wan before their fight.
I think we have two maybe three? examples of when Vader is hurt the dark side recedes for a moment and a bit of Anakin shines through.
@@MNM-lq9te imo it fits, the I will do what I must still shows the conflict within obi wan with respect to Darth Vader and anikin. Vader wanted nothing but Killing obi wan so his line fits as well
The “Will I ever see you again?” parallel hit me hard.
The sad thing is both of them see significant other just moments before they die....Shmi in Tusken camp and Obi Wan on Death Star
All along Old Ben wasn’t crazy and talking to himself as the locals thought, he was conversing with Qui-Gon.
Qui-Gon at that time was teaching him how to force phantom.
The WHOLE episode I was just thinking of Vaders quote “The circle is now complete; When I left you, I was but the Learner, now I am the Master” so they had to give Obi-Wan an amazing W over him, and i’m glad to say I wasn’t disappointed.
Also, that scene with Vaders mask broken, and Anakin & Vaders voice crackling between the two and the Red/Blue contrast on his face was PERFECT
How inqusitors expected to defeat and/or catch a jedi of that magnitude, this show of force makes whole plot in series unbelievable.
@@gacekbd The plot was him finding this strength.
@@gacekbd They were there to track him, and *try* to catch him. They weren't expected to do the latter, Vader wanted that honor for himself.
Only a master of evil, Darth.
I think the showrunners were keeping that New Hope confrontation in mind at all times when working on this project. It does fill the gap very well.
“I was just solving a puzzle here in Lego… I’m not kidding I spent like 15 minutes here” never change Eric 😂
Look how everybody is emotional for seeing Qui gon, look at how most people appreciate the prequels. I love it!!!!
If u grew with the prequels they are the best thing ever. The world building and story and characters are just phenomenal
@@joebond545 the same will be true in 10 years for the people who grew up with the sequels.
@@ThanatoselNyx quite unlikely, never to the same degree.
@@ThanatoselNyx lmao never sequels are way more close to being removed from canon
God damn dude, the broken mask, changing of the saber colors on his face, and the damaged voice box cutting out, all symbolizing his conflicting feelings. Just chills
Part of me found it interesting when Hayden and James' voices morphed between the Anakin and Vader we know. Not too dissimilar from when Padme and Sabe's voices morphed between them. Their protectors become their voice, Sabe taking on Padme's voice to protect her queen, and Vader protecting Anakin from his own painful past.
Can we get some love for the 'Will I ever see you again?' line?! The delivery and emotion ... identical to Anakin. Had me bawling with tears, beautiful!
Didn't Luke say similar to Ahsoka in BoBF?
@@ketchup016 Yep. Luke said "Will i see you again?" - Ahsoka answered "Perhaps". It's virtually identical really
“What does your heart tell you?”
@@TheArrowedKnee Oh shit, that better not mean the next time they see each other Ahsoka dies. FUCK!
@@ZandrickKrowe Ugh, don't do this to me Zandrick!!! I hope so ...yes ... I guess...
That Darth Vader vs Obi-wan fight. THAT’S what I call a rematch of the century! That’s pretty much why I watched this show and it did not disappoint! While I have many problems with the show the Vader and Obi-wan dynamic isn’t one of them. Ewan Mcgregor and Hayden Christiansen REALLY brought their A games this episode! Their conflict and seeing Vader is still a man underneath the helmet was a nice touch. Especially when previously he was this unstoppable monstrosity. It all came together in a beautiful scene. I was legitimately almost sobbing the entire time.
I love how Kyle Katarn and Eric pointed out that Vader was still using just one hand at the beginning of the fight as if he was toying with him, and then he had to switch back to his two-handed stance once he was getting his ass beat
It was great but it was too short... I guess nothing will ever be as epic as the Battle of Heroes
First time or third time?
@@k-master973 Yes, I already watched his reaction earlier.
that was a rematch of the century to you? is that the first sword fight youve ever seen? you sheep are so easily amused.
“im sorry anakin, for all of it” had such amazing delivery by space jesus, one of my favorite lines of the entire show
the fact that Obi-Wan finally made it to Alderaan fucking BROKE me.
Nice to see Bonnie Piesse again, she gave Beru quite more depth after the 30 seconds she had 17 years ago
Much more dialogue than: "Hello".
She was SO good
Is it the same Beru?
@@lunarian9877 Yes, she was 21 in Episode 3 and had quite an interesting life afterwards being in a cult for 10+ years along Smallville's Allison Mack before breaking out and returning to acting. You should watch the docuseries The Vow
This episode adds so much to the original trilogy. We see the moment Obi-Wan accepts that Anakin is dead. Murdered by Darth Vader. So he truly believes what he tells Luke in A New Hope. "Then my friend is truly dead", just like Luke's "then my father is truly dead". When Obi-Wan leaves Vader, he says "goodbye Darth", not "goodbye Anakin", just like he says "only a master of evil, Darth". He no longer views Anakin and Darth Vader as one and the same. This is why he's able to talk positively about Anakin. When he talks to Leia at the end of the episode, and when he talks to Luke in A New Hope. He's thinking of Anakin as a true friend, a good person, who died a long time ago. He's looking back fondly on their memories, mourning the loss of an old friend - not blaming himself. Their fight here also explains the "when I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master" line. We really see Obi-Wan transition into original trilogy Obi-Wan here, and all that's left now is for Qui-Gon to teach him how to become one with the force and "become more powerful than you can possibly imagine". It all just makes so much sense, and provides so much closure for both the prequels and the original trilogy. This series both showed that Anakin IS Vader (as they always felt like two different characters before), but at the same time, it also shows us the transition from Anakin to Vader, and by the end, all that is left is Vader, until Luke reminds him who he really is. People complain about the writers so much, but they really know what they're doing. This show adds layers to the movies in the same way The Clone Wars did for the prequels.
This x100000! So well said
Yes I agree 100%. This just made the movies even better and tied the prequels and the original trilogy together perfectly.
Yeah true true. I also like how it gives more of an impact to Luke. When Obi Wan and Ahsoka both tried to reach out to Anakin and he remained committed to the darkside declaring that Anakin was dead despite the fact that the two were his best friends, it again makes Luke's efforts more worthwhile. It had to be Vader's family to redeem him and another thing too is how Luke didn't know Anakin as he was and only heard stories from others so for Vader it's pretty touching that Luke also tries to reach out to his true self despite never seeing him that way
Not really but okay
@@CaptainMarvel-ew7rn this Episode was donkey 💩
"You didn't kill anakin skywalker, I did" one of the best scenes in star wars history. Also couldn't be happier for hayden he acted the hell out of that scene. Also I gotta say I was disappointed throughout with the lack of star wars music but now I realise they were saving it for the finale for more emotional impact, that was pretty clever tbh, I feel this whole show was made just so we could witness the glorious finale
Once both Anakin's and Obi Wan's character arcs were realized, that is when the Imperial March is also realized. I think it's clever if that was the intent. Also when Obi Wan describes Leah's parents to her at the end Padme's Theme is playing. Have to watch a few to catch the nuances.
I still wish the fight had a rearrange of "Battle of the Heroes" though, but I cried like a little bitch when the Force theme kicked in right after Obi-Wan said "May the Force be with you".
I AM NOT YOUR FAILURE OBI WAN
They should have used prequel music up until after the obi wan / vader fight where they then transition to original trilogy music.
@@OodldoodlNoodlesocks There’s a edit that’s used episode 3’s music it fits so well
Being a Girl Dad I loved Leia using the daddy's little girl trick of hiding one of her toys in a attache case, lunch pail or coat pocket to make daddy come back home quick when she hides Lola on him.
BTW Let's Go Auntie Beru. She was like "Bitch got the nerve to go into town and say she's coming to my HOUSE? ... I ain't runnin' no effing where, Strap up Owen" Beru is Gangster Son!
“I am not your failure Obi-Wan. You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” One of the greatest Star Wars scenes ever made! I’ve probably rewatched it about 100 times already. Ewan and Hayden were phenomenal in this scene! The series had some ups and downs, but this finale was incredible!
You haven't seen many Star Wars scenes, have you....
@@Briansgate Thank you for trying to take something a person found joy in and make them feel bad about it because you are a bitter little person who desperately needs others to feel as you do.
I’ve seen all 11 movies, and every episode of The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Kenobi. What about you?
@@ihaveafettfetish9348 He's too busy bitching about people actually enjoying things to watch Star Wars
@@Briansgate Like he said. This was definitely one of the most emotional moments in SW.
I love that now both Ahsoka & Obi-Wan have cut off a part of Vader’s mask & got to see his actual eyes. The duel, hearing Obi-Wan finally say Hello There, Qui-Gon showing up, seeing the Emperor, finally hearing the Imperial March, Obi-Wan saying "goodbye, Darth" it broke me. The flood gates opened up my nerd tears. Knowing what Luke & Leia grows up to be, it made me love Star Wars even more. I love it all! Also, seeing Owen & Beru defending the homestead makes me think they didn't go down without a fight in Episode IV.
Ahsoka cut Vaders left half, Obi his right half, only Luke took his whole helmet off.
Also the scar on top of Vader's head in 'Return of the Jedi' gets explained now :P
I read in a comment somewhere that both Kenobi and Ahsoka were able to remove half his helmet and get to the man underneath through force, but only Luke was able to get him to remove his helmet voluntarily.
@@joesladden8730 yea its literally right above you two comments up 😂😂😂
@@aacm1259 other way around I think
Always love your reactions. I read that Hayden Christensen watched the Twilight of the Apprentice episode from rebels multiple times to prepare for this episode. He and Ewan deserve all the love they’re getting. Their performances were just fantastic, this finale tore me to shreds.
I'm not trying to embarrass Eric, but that was the cutest moment ever when y'all noticed Leila gave Obi-Wan Lola. And then, Eric gave his Lola replica a little pat on the head! Too sweet ☺️
I was devided by that Leia's son named Ben in the Sequels, felt like a cheap reference. Also a part of me wish they named him after Bail, just how the character was expanded upon the Prequels and in the Clone Wars. However this miniseries actually build a justification: Ben was her childhood hero, and the prime example for a Jedi.
I don't consider the sequels as canon.

Yet she doesnt know anything about him in episode 4
I loved the realization that obi wan gave him the scar on his head that we see in return of the jedi when the helmet comes off
No. He had that in the Revenge of the Sith makeup.
Along with the stare across Coruscant with Padme in silence in Revenge of the Sith, Haydens delivery of "........I did." is my top 2 acting performances by him. What an amazing scene that was.
I like how Obi Wan finally found closure about Anakin, heard from himself that he shouldn't be blamed for Anakins fall... is able to walk away knowing it's Vader and not anakin, only THEN was his mind clear enough to see his force ghost master.
I love when we see broken-mask Vader. You get to see the coldness of Vader and the hatred of Anakin at the same time. And Obi-Wan’s apology was heartbreaking.
I love this show.
Obi Wan‘s tear filled eyes and his „I‘m sorry Anakin, for all of it“ will go down in history as a top 3 Star Wars Moment
I feel that Anakin bled through for a second there. When he tells Obi Wan “I am not your failure.” He gave Obi some form of comfort at least until Vader regained control.
Eric put into words what I was trying to describe about Vader's voice. "He's singing a different song" Perfect description
Aw man i bawled when they talked. My first time seeing star wars was literally “if your not with me, then your my enemy!” These two were my heroes growing up
I just couldn't stop those tears in the last 10 minutes of this episode...so good...so worth it
I must say I can hear a tiny bit of Ewan’s Scottish accent bleed through in the “I’m sorry” bit and it’s perfect for me. I loved this episode!!
Imagine being an omniscient force ghost, but you still have to walk everywhere.
🤣🤣🤣
This was such a perfect finale for Obi-Wan Kenobi. We got one of the single greatest duels in Star Wars history, with some of the best sword fighting choreography ever and such incredible and creative uses of The Force from both Vader and Kenobi at their absolute prime. AND on top of that we we also had one of the most emotionally powerful moments in Star Wars of Obi-Wan and Vader talking and Obi-Wan finally coming to terms with the fact that Anakin wasn’t his failure but that Vader destroyed Anakin on his own.😭😭👏🏽👏🏽
Also they could’ve ended it with Ewan McGregor saying “HELLO THERE” with absolute perfection, but they also FINALLY gave us Qui-Gon Jinn!!!
I think it was the best duel in Star Wars history, the combination of the choreography, the use of the force, the cinematography, and the emotional performances.
Someone pointed out that the groove of a scar on Vader's head that we see in episode 6 is probably from this helmet cut by Obi-wan, since he didn't get it from Mustafar. Nice detail. I love this show so much. Definitely cried.
I love the paralel "Twilight of the Apprentice" in this one. Fairly certain they took some inspiration from that one, but i don't mind at all. And you know the saying - "It's like poetry..."
But also, that scene with Leia *really* got to me, especially when she said "will i ever see you again?" pretty much *exactly* like young Anakin
That smirk that Vader did when he said he killed Anakin was terrifying.
The duel so reminded me of the final battle between Aang and Firelord Ozai. Both are incredible!
Ahsoka broke open the right side of his mask, Obi-Wan broke open the left side. Both couldn't bring Anakin back, but Luke was able to completely take his mask off, bringing him back to the light. Very poetic.
My face looked exactly like Eric’s when Obi-Wan was talking to Leia about her parents. Started to tear up when they played her theme. What a beautiful scene.
“I am not your failure, Obi-Wan” was just so gut wrenching to me seeing Anakin comfort his master for that spit second before Vader re-emerged. I believe that is the last time we see Anakin before Luke awakens him in RoTJ.
Man I just finished the clone wars show with my little siblings not even a month ago, this episode absolutely devastated me after seeing their real friendship in the show and everything they went through.
9:23 I reacted the same was as Eric did.
Is a small moment but Owen facing Reva was between my favorite parts of the episode. That exchange and even when Owen didn't stand a chance, although Reva was injured, he stood his ground for as long as he could.
Obi-Wan got one side of the helmet. Ahsoka got the other. Vader gets "OBI-WAAAAAAN!" Maul gets "KENOBIIIIIII!" Pure poetry.
I need someone to put the two clips together and have the full name for… reasons
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
18:55 i agree i really loved the way they portayed Owen and Beru this episode. it makes their death in ANH have so much more impact and meaning
This episode just had me in my feels as a Star Wars fan...
And that's why I love your reactions. Only here can I sit quitely with my friends and cry silent for 15 minutes straight. Thanks for the great reaction.
Vader's words regarding he's all that remains, truly sounded like he was just as heartbroken about how he turned out. Which makes sense since he states in the comics, he hates himself more than anything else.
What you didn't see in A New Hope is the pile of stormtrooper bodies in the homestead kitchen that Aunt Beru killed before she died.
"Took you long enough." - indeed. We finally see Qui-Gon at the end of the last episode!
Watching your emotional responses is a complete joy! The utter delight, devoid of cynicism or fandom contempt is so lovely & refreshing to observe.😃
Also that “OBI WAN!!” Screamed by Vader felt like Anakin’s final plea for him to save him… before Vader fully took control hence us hearing the Imperial March for the first time in the show in the following scene. 😭
The parallels between Obi-Wan vs Vader and Ahsoka vs Vader were amazing. Really drive home the fact that only Luke could redeem him
They both actually almost got through to him. For a brief moment they actually were able to connect with Anakin (not Vader). Luke on the other hand is part of what was left of Padme. As someone else also pointed out symbolically Obi-Wan and Ahsoka were only able to remove half his mask, Luke (son of Padme) was able to remove all of it.
@@amadeoaraujo699 other thing too is at the end of the day Anakin wanted a family. When he becomes Vader he feels like he has nothing to live for but serve Sidious which is why he firmly rejects and attacks Ahsoka and Obi Wan's attempts at reaching out to him. Vader finding out he has a son totally shakes things up for him along with how Luke didn't know Anakin as he used to be but still nonetheless tries to reach out.
Like when he says "Iv accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker my father", and this is coming from his son who has only heard stories of Anakin but didn't know him
@@Spongebrain97 I think it's less the "family"- Padme couldn't reach him either, and this series especially has put a TON of emphasis on the Jedi being a family- and more the part where Luke has faith but no expectations. Because he didn't know Anakin before, he's not asking Anakin to be who "Anakin" from before, so Anakin can't fail him by not measuring up
@@o0Evo0o Luke was also the only one of the three able to see Anakin (the good) even when completely covered by Vader (the mask).
@@amadeoaraujo699 eeeeeh I don't think I'd phrase it that way. Luke only takes the mask off when *Anakin* asks him to, because it's a choice *Anakin* has to make.
Luke doesn't see "good" so much as the potential for it- and Obi-Wan *only* sees him as Anakin until this episode, where he lets Anakin go.
Seeing the shot of a tear on Anakins cheek reflected in the blue light of his conflicting feeling was absolutely heartbreaking. That’s the same person that would’ve done anything for his friends.
10:15 People always misunderstand Vadar. He doesn't want to KILL Obi-Wan, he want's to DEFEAT him. Both in battle and in ideology. He needs Obi-Wan to acknowledge that he is beaten, that Vadar/(and thus Anakin) is more powerful, is superior, is now "the master", and there-fore CORRECT in his actions. Just killing Obi-Wan would mean he won, again. Until he gets that admission of defeat, he won't have won.
But at the end ...Obi Wan will always have the moral high ground
Vader even in that fight was shown to be way more powerful in the force but was eventually beaten by a faster, smarter fighter
@@danielmillward9947 Obiwan won with the strength of the screenwriters kkkkkkkk
@@victormentz3061 😂 😂 😂 true
The last 15-20 minutes of this episode had me in constant tears. It just wouldn't stop. This was one hell of an episode!
Kenobi
"When I said before that I didn't know your parents....
You are wise, discerning, kind hearted....these are qualities that come from your mother.
Passionate and fearless. Forthright. These are gifts from your father."
Leia
"Will I ever see you again?"
"Maybe...."
(hugs)
"Goodbye....Ben"
"Goodbye....Princess. May the force be with you."
I cried my eyes out and I am a 45 year old man. This is one of the most powerful piece of work anyone has ever done for Star Wars. Rouge One's Jyn Orso goodbye scene and when Luke said goodbye to his father in ROTJ....this scene lines up with the emotions I felt for those two pieces. Amazing.
This whole episode...
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
*Kenobi dodging Vader’s attacks*
Calvin - “That’s me in Fallen Order all the time”
So damn true 😂😂
The lightsaber fight was insane but the dialogue between Kenobi and Vader was a bigger highlight for me. The part where Vader says, "I'm what remains" is just so haunting. Probably my fav line after "I am what you made me". Oh this episode was goooooooooooooood!
Yall are my favorite Star Wars reaction channel. U guys pick up on the details that other reactors don't
And they are very positiv about the new content

Blind wave is one of my favorite Star Wars chanels because they all tell their feelings after the episode, and seeing Eric being so passionate about Star wars lore makes me hyped. I love you guys keep making the same good enjoyable contend i love your chanel
I love that in the first confrontation Vader blames Obi-Wan for his condition, but in this episode Anakin reassures him that this wasn't his fault. He made the decision, it was never about Obi-Wan, it was only ever him.
That last fight scene between the two was worth the entire series, any slow part any downtime doesnt matter when we get THAT fight
I liked the ligthting during the duel. How it was a blue hue on his face when he said that he was not Obi's failure, almost as Ani. Then it turned red when he kinda turned into Vader and was like..I killed him.
The scene between Obi and Vader is heartbreaking. So many raging emotions and in the end, as Obi walks away, a crushing silence while Vader screams at the top of his charred lungs
The way they flipped the mask break when Obi broke it and when Ahsoka broke it is really amazing. It's faithful to the animated. Looked really well done. The voice switching gave me chills. And they really need to take advantage of this Leia actor. It can't just be this one season for her as Leia and I imagine she'll be in Ahsoka!
I like how this episode sort of explains why Vader and Obi Wan’s fight is so much more chill in episode IV. Not only did the two grow older, but Vader learned to control his rage and thirst for revenge against his old master. His conversation with the emperor helped him realize that he was letting his emotions get the best of him, and so he decided to stop pursuing Kenobi and do what’s best for the Empire as a whole. By the time A New Hope comes around, Vader simply ignites his lightsaber and does what needs to be done after Kenobi sneaks onboard the Death Star.
It makes OB1s sacrifice into the force more meaningful too. Well done
Yeah....it's like they have had their fights.....here they have nothing against each other...Both of them are just doing their jobs
In rebels he does being up trying to find kenobi to the emperor so he does still want to beat him.
Amazing series and one amazing finale!
Freaking good fighting, from the lightsaber sequence to the use fo the Force. Vader screaming Obi Wan's name. That moment with the rocks felt very videogame like, it was great to see the Force being used like that in live action.
Reva's character arc and being redeemed was good too. Sidious and Qui Gon Jin appearences. Obi Wan meeting Luke.
SO MANY GOOD THINGS!!!
10 out of 10.
Having watched the episode and a couple reactions I realized that the story telling is that Vader didn't become worthy of his march theme until he confronted Kenobi and committed to the Emperor. And as a parallel Qui Gon couldn't be seen until Kenobi had closure with Anakin. It is in keeping with the notion of the Jedi notion of the perils of attachments. Obi Wan's depression was a function of his attachment to Anakin and the belief that Anakin had died at his own hand. In realizing Anakin didn't die by his hand and seeing that his friend was indeed dead by Darth's will, the attachment was released and he was free.
Remember, Vader in New Hope said "When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master." to Kenobi. Meaning that this ass kicking from Kenobi will result in him being more careful and calculated when he fights Kenobi again.
“ You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” His face was bathed in blue light. I think that represented the good or light side of the Force. that was still in him. When he said , “I’ll destroy you.” His face was bathed in red, the color of Sith, the dark side that consumed him.
Man…what a finale. Obi-Wan having his emotional talk with Vader just hit me in the soul, especially with his face peaking out of his helmet and his voice distorted between Anakin and Vader. Plus the goosebumps I got when Obi got in his classic Form III stance, his iconic “Hello There” and Qui-Gon finally appearing as a force ghost. It was all just so amazing, capping off a pretty good story.
I love how emotional Eric gets, what a guy honestly
Thank you guys for being such great ambassadors in the Star Wars fan community. There’s not a lot of channels like yours. Love the positivity.
I *need* to hear Qui-Gon's take on everything that's happened between TPM and this show...dude lowkey kinda started all this 😂
This clusterfuck of a situation is his mess tbh
And also ask....did they come up with some medicine to cure stab wounds after I died😂
