I can't help thinking about the Kenobi show and how it emphasized all these other important relationships in Obi-Wan's life BEYOND Anakin. Even when Anakin was in the show and played by Hayden, the show very carefully and intentionally made sure to look BEYOND Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin to really flesh him out and make him interesting.
He's constantly thinking about Padme when he spends time with Leia and missing Padme and remembering her.
It's his friendship with Bail Organa that gives him the kick in the pants he needs to start getting his life in order.
He connects to Reva over their shared grief at the loss of the Jedi Order and the horror of Order 66.
It's his meeting Tala and Haja and Roken and seeing how they're involved in their own little rebellions that helps him start to have hope in the galaxy again.
And even in the middle of his big emotional climax where he's fighting against Anakin, it's remembering Luke and Leia that actually saves him.
So yes, he has to let go of Anakin and his grief and guilt over Anakin's fate, and Anakin IS important to Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's story, but he is not the SOLE important relationship in Obi-Wan's life. Obi-Wan has other things in his life worth discussing and remembering when telling a story about him and the Kenobi show was SO SO CAREFUL to ensure that that didn't get forgotten or overshadowed by bringing in Anakin himself. And I really appreciate that about the show.

#ABSOLUTELY NO NOTES ON THIS SCENE 10/10 I HYENA LAUGHED WHEN I REALIZED WHAT THEY WERE DOING
#THEY SMUGGLED LEIA OUT BY HIDING HER UNDER A TRENCH COAT
#AND IT FUCKING WORKED EXACTLY AS PLANNED
#THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW OBI-WAN IS COMING BACK TO HIMSELF
#ONLY A GODDAMNED JEDI WOULD THINK UP SOMETHING THAT STUPID
#AND IT STILL FUCKING WORKS
#ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL

I'm normally the one mildly annoyed by unnecessary het but I'm not even mad about Indira Varma's decision to play Tala as in love with Obi Wan. I mean, first of all, we all get it. Second of all, like, she's a former imperial, said she believed in it at the beginning, must have absorbed all the propaganda about the jedi, and now she's on her own whole ass redemption story, saving kids, habitually alone in rooms full of people who would kill her if they really knew her, listening to her conscience, and then she meets Obi Wan. Big Damn Clone Wars Hero, mr coup d'etat, enemy number one. And he's discouraged and ragged and afraid and just trying to protect this little girl. And she falls in love with him. And then she dies. And she's played by Indira Varma. I'm okay I'm fine

I am EMOTIONAL about the way Leia keeps the holster and the gloves, that even once she’s returned home, she’ll remember them, she’ll honor both Obi-Wan and Tala, these people who risked and gave their lives to help her. That this has helped shape her into the person we know she becomes, that she doesn’t just lost in her own frustration, but decides that she wants to do something, she wants to help. Because Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tala Durith showed her what it meant to help others, she will carry that forward and she will change the entire galaxy with it.

It just clicked that Indira Varma was Suzie Costello in Torchwood and in Kenobi as Tala Durith.
