Vader stepping on Obi-Wan’s cloak after he dies in ANH is so much more hilarious now in retrospect because he literally had to check to be sure he was actually gone. Because every time he thought he killed Obi-Wan, even burying him under a bunch of rocks, he still came back.

I still can’t get over that the entirety of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series wasn’t about people being awesome and badass, but about cracking them open and showing what they’re really made of at their centers. That this was a series about showing how hope and compassion leads to the light and that the dark is miserable and will only destroy you from within and without. That this was a series about people crying because they cared what happened to other people, that their compassion cannot be driven from them fully. That this was a series about what you choose, what you embrace in your heart, and just a series about feelings. It’s an incredibly emotional series, one that isn’t afraid to delve deep into the trauma and hurt of it, to show its characters in deep emotional reactions, but also understand that you have to free yourself from carrying it with you. This series understood what Star Wars is all about, that love and compassion will light the way forward for you, that holding on to something that’s not yours to keep anymore will only keep you prisoner in the dark, that emotions are intense and should be faced and acknowledged, because once you understand yourself and let go of the things dragging you down, you’re free. Thank you, Ms. Deborah Chow, for understanding the assignment and knocking it out of the fucking park. Thank you, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen and Moses Ingram for delivering performances that knocked the breath out of my lungs, gasping at the emotional reveals in all the right moments, and had me sobbing during that final episode. Sometimes Star Wars gets it and this show just fucking got it good.

The way Anakin/Vader howls “OBI-WAN!!!!!” in despair and rage twice into the darkness after Obi-Wan slices Vader’s mask off and walks away
versus
The way Anakin/Vader softly says “Ahsoka” twice to her after she slices half his mask off and she stays
#my heart is broken#so many similarities and contrasts between these terrible duels with two of the people he loved most and who loved him most!!#anakin skywalker#darth vader#obi wan kenobi#ahsoka tano#kenobi series#kenobi spoilers#userlumi

The way Vaderkin’s voice subtly breaks when he says, “Anakin is gone. I am what remains.” like I am in tears over the way that line is delivered, it’s both a pledge to the dark once more, the monster refusing to be anything but a monster, but also a lamentation for what he is, that he knows he cannot break free of the dark, it’s sorrowful because he doesn’t want to be this, he’s in pain and he hates himself more than anyone. It is not a triumphant moment of the dark side, it’s a cry for what he has become.
#I will never be over this scene#anakin is only mostly dead but there’s no Miracle Max to revive him#so he has to wait until his son’s compassion can do it instead#anakin skywalker#kenobi series#kenobi spoilers

I’m never going to recover from that Obi-Wan Kenobi finale.
I’m sending my therapy bill to Lucasfilm, Moses Ingram, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen.

“I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do it. I failed them. He killed them all, and I couldn’t do it.“ “You haven’t failed them. By showing mercy, you have given them peace.“ I was in tears, Reva going after Luke because she wanted to take away Vader’s family, wanted to kill the child that should have meant everything to him, just like he killed the children that meant everything to her, wanting to avenge her family, but she only sees herself when she looks at Luke passed out, she only sees a youngling who doesn’t deserve what happened. Contrasted against Vader having a chance to come back to a better path as well, to not be what he’s chosen to be, that Obi-Wan offers him a way back, offers him love and compassion, but Vader rejects it. Reva cannot reject it, she couldn’t do it, couldn’t kill that part of herself. Because Obi-Wan is right, the other Jedi younglings wouldn’t have been avenged by murdering the child of Anakin Skywalker, it wouldn’t bring them peace. Mercy brings them peace, Reva���s inability to become what Vader is is everything those Jedi younglings, her family, would have wanted for her. They would never have wanted her to become him, they would want the light for her. Moses Ingram absolutely destroyed that scene, she had me in tears right along with Reva, this young woman who was so ruthless and lived on her rage and pain, but in the end, she was still Jedi enough to turn back. She couldn’t do. She will never be Vader. And her family is at peace for it.

“I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker…I did.”
How devastating and impactful was this line, how emotional and contrasting a follow up to “I am what you made me” where the moral responsibility for who created the monster that is Darth Vader is transferred!!
Vader has been absolutely desperate to destroy Anakin and all semblance of his former self, and he has to be the one to do it, so of course he can’t bear the idea that someone else, and especially Obi-Wan of all people, should get ‘credit’ for doing so. He can’t tolerate being anything of Obi-Wan’s, good or bad; not his Padawan, not his best friend, not his brother, and not his failure. So while he can and does continue to blame Obi-Wan for the physical destruction of his body, he insists to him that he, and he alone, killed the person that was Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan’s friend, both to reassert control over his tattered soul and identity and to hurt his old master by hammering home how “the boy you trained, gone he is.”
AND YET
As grief-stricken as Obi-Wan is in this moment, Vader saying this unintentionally relieves him of a terrible burden he’s carried for 10 years, and it’s why he’s finally able to see Qui-Gon again at the end - he finally realised Vader was not his fault, and can now let him go, along with the trauma and the self-recrimination blocking his path to the peace Jedi know.
Once again evil only destroys itself and can’t help but propel the rise of good.

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

The escape plan of having a second smaller ship behind the one Vader eviscerates is almost as bad as hiding leia under a trenchcoat but I'm loving the camp of it all

Anne Elliot & Frederick Wentworth | G l a n c e
Johnson explores Austen’s use of blushes, beating hearts, physical gestures, and almost-contact—devices that weave a web of physicality around Anne and Wentworth. “Little circumstances—when eyes just miss, […] whether by accident or intent—are interspersed among more dramatic scenes in which a man and woman feel acutely each other’s physical presence,”
- ‘The Physical Pleasures of Jane Austen’s Persuasion’ by Erin Blakemore

The idea that Vader knew Reva was a youngling from the temple and knowingly played along until he could get her with that “Youngling” jab?
That kind of unrivaled pettiness?
Yeah no, that’s definitely Anakin Skywalker under there.
