Palpatine: My boy, I'm afraid to report that Master Kenobi is very likely sleeping with your wife.
Anakin, who knows for a fact that Obi-Wan is sleeping with his Commander, a good chunk of Ghost company, the Organas and Quinlan Vos: ...where is he finding the fucking time???
Palpatine, oblivious: Oh I've heard from some very reliable sources that-
Anakin: *pulls out a spexcel spreadsheet, the 3rd System Army's shared spoogle calender and a calculator*
Anakin: Your Excellency. That's just. not logistically possible.
I think even funnier than Anakin being a Big War Hero is if he was like. The Temple’s resident tech guy. Cal or Kanan find out who Darth Vader is and they’re like ‘the guy who reset my password???’
Obsessed with how Obi-Wan calls Anakin right after having a conference call with the other Jedi Masters because the moment Anakin said he'll do as 'instructed' Obi-Wan knew with absolute confidence that the little shit will most certainly not do as instructed
"Obi-Wan’s magic had always been at its strongest when he was protecting someone. Perhaps that’s why it was easier to defeat their remaining assailants after Cody went down injured."
I had the absolute best of time working on this illustration commissioned by the wonderful @wanderingjedihistorian for their fic What It Means! If you like a good fantasy setting, swords and sorcery, Jedis as mages and the Clones as knights do check it out!
1.After choking Padmé, fully high on the dark side, Anakin still offers Obi-Wan a chance to walk away. [+at the beginning of the book it's explicitly stated that Obi-Wan "frankly prefers to sit alone in a quiet cave and meditate" so... yes, anakin, it IS what he likes]
2.The iconic "identical, better than brothers, more intimately than lovers, complementary halves" quote, which is followed by Obi-Wan's inability to actually attack the man he came to the planet to kill.
3.Obi-Wan sensing death and deciding they should go there together
4. The repeated emphasis on how close they were and why this hurts so much more. It's personal.
5.The fact that "despite it all... Obi-Wan still loved him."
there's really no words for the cumulative impact of the 11 or so pages of the mustafar fight in the novel. it appears after about 400 pages setting the stage, and only 12 pages follow it before the end of the book. the fight stretches out on film as one of the longest of all time, but in the novel it's a harsh punctuation mark that pierces the paper and bleeds ink through the page. it stabs you, twists the knife, and fades away. i will never really get over it, i think.
