Top 5 Mustafar Quotes That Make Me Insane
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.

the fact that hayden christensen has us tying ourselves in knots not once, not twice, NOT EVEN THREE TIMES, but F O U R times over him on screen as anakin skywalker is really something good for him.

does the frequency with which obi-wan and anakin think about each other when they're apart in revenge of the sith do psychic damage to you, or are you normal

The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying. Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, now, despite it all…
Obi-Wan still loved him.
