Obi Wan Kenobi - Season 1 Eps 6 Reaction

The way Ewan Mcgregor delivered those lines with tears in his eyes about being sorry for what he did to Anakin, his friend, his brother, someone he loved and cared for really broke me about as much as it did Jay.

Obi-Wan saying "I'm sorry" is one of the most emotional moments in star wars period.

The blending of the two voices when his helmet broke was just… chefs kiss

“Then my friend is truly dead” “Then my father is truly dead” It’s like poetry

the way vader yelled for obi-wan.. anakin is such a broken and tortured soul, Hayden's performance was great

Adam comforting jay when he’s crying is the same energy as jay comforting adam in that one squid game episode

I think this episode also answers the question of why Luke's aunt and uncle were straight up killed as brutally as they were in A New Hope: they came out blasting against the stormtroopers, and probably didn't even wait to hear any questions about droids and Death Star plans.

There’s such a negative vibe from the Star Wars community sometimes that it’s great too see some of us just enjoying the continuation of this beautiful story ❤

I loved how in the scene with Vader defeated, his voice was a mix of Hayden & James Earl Jones....that was just *chef's kiss

The change on Adam's face from total hype to total disappointment after "this rocks" is what friendship is all about

"I am not your failure, Obi Wan." Gets me every damn time.

It was not until this Episode that I finally realized why we needed to see that this confrontation happened: The battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mustafar was emotional and passionate, with Obi-Wan's last words to Anakin being genuinely sad over the loss of his friend and guilty for his failure to prevent his downfall, while Anakin screamed back at Obi-Wan as he burned. And then their battle on the Death Star just has them casually taunting each other with no real sense of the emotional payoff we would expect from the two of them coming face to face again after that battle. Not only did this series give us that emotional payoff that A New Hope is missing, it explained why Obi-Wan was nonchalant when facing Vader again on the Death Star and why Vader spent most of the fight bragging about how much stronger he was without acting vengeful or unfocused, as both of them were forced to accept that they no longer have any real connection to each other: Obi-Wan sees Vader as separate from Anakin and truly unable to be redeemed, and Vader accepts that if Anakin is truly dead he should not care about defeating Obi-Wan for any reason beyond besting the one enemy he could never defeat. I do think this show had some rough patches and could definitely have been streamlined in some areas, but I think the stuff that was vital definitely needed the breathing room the show provided for its pacing, and I doubt Obi-Wan's arc from depressed hermit back to Jedi Master would have felt as impactful if it had all happened within the span of a two-hour movie.

I love how scary and tragic they made Vader/Anakin in this episode. Big props to Hayden. Him saying "I did" was creepy as hell.

The whole time watching this episode I was telling myself, "This is gonna get Jay's waterworks going." What a great finale for a great show.

Ewan delivering the "I'm sorry" lines was an emotional gut-punch that a lot of us felt deep down in our soul. I think more than a few of us can relate to seeing someone we care for fall from grace and give into their own personal "Dark Side."

I feel like when Anakin told him he's wasn't his failure, he did this to himself, it was his way of letting Obi-Wan forgive himself. That maybe a small part of him still cared about his brother, Obi-Wan

Ewan McGregor just acted his ass off this episode. And that lightsaber work was off the chain! He and Hayden just killed it. What an incredibly satisfying episode of television.

"You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker.............I did!" - The best Vader line and it was delivered in such a stone cold evil way..... amazing. Your reactions are pure gold I love you both. :D

This episode carried the weight of the entire franchise. It saved the show, and it made us true fans bawl like a baby.

Vader finally acknowledging that his fall to the Darks Side was 100% on him and his dumbass self instead of everybody else's fault as he kept insisting during Episode II and III and setting Obi-Wan free of his guilt for failing him was something I was not expecting, but it's now firmly one of my favorite Star Wars moments ever, along with Obi-Wan telling Leia the qualities she inherited from her biological parents.
