In yet another edition of "I don't ship Obikin, but..."

Guys, that moment when they were holding hands while engaging in a full-on lightsaber fight? Like...actually holding hands. While beating each other with lightsabers. I just can't even with these two. Who put that in the fight choreography?

I don't have to ship it to acknowledge that Obikin shippers ain't wrong. These two have some kind of relationship, and whatever it is, it isn't normal.

Kenobi: Skywalker’s Only Hope

Let’s talk about Anakin’s final “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope” as seen (as I will argue) in the final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Part VI) [spoiler warning!]

During their final duel of Kenobi (Pt VI), Obi-Wan is able to (literally) crack Vader’s facade. Behind the helmet, he sees Anakin. He calls his name, too stunned to do anything else.

Vader looks at him and tells him that “Anakin is gone.”

Yet as Obi-Wan cries and apologizes to Anakin, we see the facade crack more as we catch a glimpse of Anakin, tortured emotions across his face.

Vader then says something very surprising. He says “I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.”

This is significant for two reasons. 1) it’s a callback to Mustafar (“I have failed you, Anakin, I have failed you”) and 2) this is also, arguably, a sliver of Anakin here — whether it’s a desperate move by the suppressed Anakin to assuage Obi-Wan’s guilt or is simply (Anakin’s) self-loathing and self-hatred, which are also canonically emotions that fueled Vader, is up to you.

The brief raw emotional vulnerability quickly fades, however, and Vader is back to threatening Obi-Wan, who finally comes to the conclusion that Anakin is well and truly gone, and decides to leave him, turning his back on him as he had done on Mustafar.

But the thing is, Vader can’t keep going on without Kenobi. The passion he has for Kenobi- whatever nature that may be- fuels Vader’s power. As Obi-Wan walks away, Vader cries out to him, calling his name twice.

The fact that he calls Obi-Wan’s name twice is really important, because I argue that this is coded as Anakin’s ‘distress signal.’ In “Twilight of the Apprentice” (from SW Rebels s2), Anakin also calls out to Ahsoka after his helmet has been slashed by her. “Ahsoka…. Ahsoka,” he says, initiating the outreach. She responds by whispering his name back in return (twice), further showing the importance of the double use of the name.

Which is why it’s a really big deal (!!) that when Obi-Wan finally tells Vader he’s given up/finally believes Anakin is well and truly gone, Vader initiates the contact and cries out to him. Twice.

This was Anakin’s last attempt to communicate his ‘distress signal’ to Obi-Wan, to tell him that Anakin needed his help. Anakin knew that he would never escape Vader if even Obi-Wan came to believe that Anakin was gone. Anakin cried out to him, knowing that Obi-Wan was his only hope.

Reading the text this way makes Vader’s final scene all the more tragic. In talking to Palpatine, Vader reinforces his desire to chase Kenobi. “He will not evade me again,” he says. (He’s my only hope, I cannot let him evade me again). Like a moth drawn to flame, Vader (or really Anakin inside of Vader) needs his Master. He cannot give up the flicker of hope that Obi-Wan presents.

That is until Palpatine yanks on his leash, reminding Vader of his dependency on him. He calls him out for his feelings over Obi-Wan weakening him, then vaguely hints that if Vader cannot overcome his past, then there would be no further use for him, and Palpatine would destroy him.

This is the final nail in the coffin. Vader sinks back into his chair. Defeated. “I serve only you, my Master,” he says, and we hear the Imperial March swell in the background.

Vader has resigned himself to his fate. Anakin slips away inside of him, not to reemerge until Return of the Jedi ten years later with the aid of his son. Until then, we see an increasingly cold, detached Vader, one that truly lost all hope when Kenobi called him “Darth” and accepted that Anakin was gone. If Kenobi had lost all hope, so did Anakin.

This scene absolutely gutted me.

Obi-Wan faces Vader with the resolute decision that he will end him, but seeing his face without the mask - that glimpse of the man he used to know is enough to send him spiraling into guilt and tears for the brother he failed.

And Vader is usually so cold and ruthless in the words he chooses...but these words come out almost sad. They sound resigned. They're the words of a man who takes responsibility for everything he has done and will continue to do. He's absolving Obi-Wan of the guilt, which is ultimately the last act of kindness he could do to his former master. The little bit of Anakin seeping through Vader and the voice distortion just-

Feeling kind of sad that Carrie Fisher didn’t get to see Vivien Lyra Blair play the character she originated.

I just love Bail and Breha Organa, and I would watch an entire series with them. I was so scared we wouldn't see them again, and then that last scene on Alderaan... It was perfect. The way Obi-Wan walked out of the ship looking more like himself than he has in literal years. And Bail could see it instantly. He saw it with one look, and unlike the last time they met, when he had to beg Obi-Wan for his help and tell Obi-Wan some hard truths, Bail just looked at Obi-Wan and reached out to hug his old friend with so much warmth and not a second's hesitation. He's always respected and cared for Obi-Wan, even in Part I of this series, when Obi-Wan was at his lowest point. And now that Obi-Wan stands in front of him, with his old grin and confidence firmly in place, Bail reaches out instantly in welcome and just... hugs him. It's so warm and Obi-Wan melts into it for a second.

And Breha... Oh, Breha! She reaches out to Obi-Wan, a man she probably only knows from Bail's description and a holocall, and offers him as much warmth as she knows he would feel comfortable with. Not to mention Breha's relationship with Leia! They are perfect! Breha is fond and affectionate, even when exasperated with Leia's antics. And just like Brail, she has this glee in nurturing Leia's rebellious streak. Breha's conspiratorial smile with Leia when she says "I approve" of the holster--so beautiful!

Leia has so much of Anakin and Padme in her... but Bail and Breha are there too. They are the parents who taught her to be the best version of herself and who loved her wholeheartedly. No one could have loved Leia more.

I just love the Organa family, y'all. We don't deserve them, but I'm so grateful for every second we got to see of them.

I want to talk about this parallel

Personaly, this is maybe the most beautiful parallel that came out from Obi Wan Kenobi.

We have two girls who now are the ones who will continue the legacy of the people they loved and who loved them.

In Leia's case, she is taking on the legacy of her (adoptive) parents, the Organas.

In Rey's case, she is taking on the legacy of her Masters (who happened to be some sort of paternal and maternal figure), the Skywalkers.

Neither of them are blood related to the people which legacy they're carring on now, but they have earned the right with sweat, tears and blood.

For me that's just such an amazing message to show up and pass on. You don't need to be blood to be family.

Also, another thing I love from this two scenes is The Force Theme.

The Force Theme has always been tided to the Skywalker family (who happens to be the important family of this saga). We listened the Force Theme with Anakin, Luke, Leia and Rey (I think even Padme), all of them Skywalkers at some point.

But now they use this theme also with the Organas, with Bail, Breha and Leia Organa, showing us how the Organa family are just as important as the Skywalker family to the story. Because is thanks to them Leia is the strong, wise, resilient, kind, passionated, smart, resourceful and fearless woman we all know and love, she's all Bail and Breha, is thanks to them many people across the galaxy survived the fist of the Empire, and it's thanks to them the Rebelion rised strong and was able to bring the end of the Empire.

This is pure poetry, Star Wars pure rhymes
