Okay y’all, I’m crying over the finale of Kenobi but I noticed something that made me cry harder: the symbolism between the torn mask, Anakin, and Vader.
When Ahsoka fights Vader she’s fighting this monster and wants to see him and when she realizes it’s Anakin, her brother, mentor, best friend, Vader is fighting not only Ahsoka, but Anakin Skywalker who was forcibly shoved into the light when Ahsoka tears his mask, but he doesn’t want the light. He doesn’t want to return fully. Not yet. He still believes that Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-Wan -they all betrayed him.
When he fights Obi-Wan, his mask is also forcibly cut showing Obi-Wan how changed his brother is. But he still can’t see clearly. (Notice how each time the mask is cut, Darth Vader is half of him and Anakin Skywalker is the other half. Eyes are the entrance to the soul.) He’s still using his anger and passion in a bad way. Even if there is parts of Anakin still there, Vader can still take over because Anakin doesn’t want to come back. Yet.
Vader isn’t Obi-Wan’s failure, he’s Anakin’s failure to control his emotions -his passion. And Anakin isn’t Obi-Wan’s failure, but Vader’s failure to get rid of the good- to become a monster without a conscience.
Ahsoka and Obi-Wan’s fights started against Vader and ended with fighting for Anakin.
But you can’t save someone, who doesn’t want to be saved. No matter how hard you try.
Vader doesn’t want to save Anakin, but Anakin also doesn’t want to save himself. He thinks he’s too far gone to come back. He believes he killed himself. But he also acknowledges the wrong he’s done, almost comforting Obi-Wan by showing him that he chose this path and that it’s not his fault. It’s heartbreakingly tragic but also amazing beginning steps towards the light by showing his acceptance of his crimes.
Ahsoka didn’t understand it fully, but Obi-Wan did.
Obi-Wan understood that he (or anyone else) couldn’t save Anakin unless Anakin wanted to save himself. And that realization crushed him.
Flash forward to when Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader fight. He says that it’s impossible that Vader is his father because to him Vader is a monster, a something not a someone.
But then he accepts it.
And he realizes that Anakin and Vader have to accept it too. Anakin has to accept that he has been Darth Vader and vice versa.
He knows that there’s good and bad in the man that is his father, and that it’s the good and bad that make him a someone and not a something.
He believes there’s good in him. He just needs to make his father believe it too. And that’s what he does.
Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker believe it.
So at the end, it’s not Luke who forcibly cuts the mask that is Darth Vader, but Anakin Skywalker who wants to take off the mask of Darth Vader, and accepts Luke’s help.
(Insert scenes of Luke helping take off the mask because I’ve reached the dreaded 10 pic limit.)
And that’s such brilliant writing and acting and ima go cry some more now.
Edit: i accidentally switched up the fights (Obi-Wan is first then Ahsoka)

I hope a Tim and Lucy find a way to be friends again.
To lose both your love AND your best friend? That’s a double whammy of suck-town mayhem.
I feel so sad for them…

Sometimes I long so deeply for those days in that place with you. It seems so long ago. Maybe a different life. That short time seemed so long and we have now been apart longer than we spent in that place by the hidden lake. But those days seemed to just fit. No troubles. Easy days off with you you. Home bodies, for good or otherwise. I felt so in love and providential. But you've told me you thought I had fallen out of this state. I've wondered why there could be such situation of perspective. I think it must be that it was you that was falling out of that love if you ever had it. And we were both blissfully unaware as the single unit we had become over all those years rarely apart. But ignorant is ignorant. And it would not last. That sentence makes me feel nauseated. I have begun to do very well in doing what others have prescribed as best when it comes to you. But on nights like this... When I sit outside by candlelight in the slightest chill and listen to the busy road and people that echo from a distance, it is so much like that place and time. It is impossible to escape the remembrance of such a contented version of myself. Which then brings that sinking feeling of my nemesis, nostalgia. I despise her. But I will bring her with me always. Ever confused as to if it is by law or by some quiet, deep fractal of my mind, or is it heart? I do not know, nor does it matter. Que sera, sera. ....And I have succumbed.
