A couple of sad obis

[fantastic-nonsense]

honestly we really should talk more about the fact that the Mustafar duel didn't use stunt doubles and wasn't sped up in any way. Hayden and Ewan were just that good at dueling each other

#star wars #revenge of the sith #hayden christensen #ewan mcgregor #anakin skywalker #obi-wan kenobi #Ewan and Hayden practicing lightsaber dueling off the clock just because they loved doing it is one of my favorite SW fun facts #(the Mustafar duel *did* actually use stunt doubles but not for the actual dueling; that was all Hayden and Ewan) #absolutely insane

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

There’s that indescribable thing about watching the fight scene in Revenge of the Sith, where it feels so tense but so dramatically desperate. I don’t know how to describe it except I never got the feeling that the two characters were desperate to kill each other or even win the fight.

It always felt more like Obi Wan was fighting to stop Anakin from taking one more step into the Dark Side and Anakin was fighting Obi Wan to let out all the pent-up frustration he’s been feeling since he was a Padawan.

It’s more like two brothers who can’t figure out how to communicate, and everything’s come to a head, so they just start whaling on each other, as much out of confused love as it is resentment. I feel like I’m not putting it into words right, but there’s definitely something desperate in there that I can’t articulate, which no other movie scene does.

(I mean obviously at the end of the fight one of them is going to have to face killing the other, but that almost feels like…the pretense for the fight? not what each of them is truly fighting for?)

The Mustafar duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Anakin Skywalker is the greatest if not my favorite lightsaber duel of Star Wars if not my favorite fight scene in any movie.

It’s the most tragic, most epic & most heartbreaking duel between brothers/ best friends. Also this duel has a killer score with #battleoftheheros

Not me listening to ‘No Longer You’ and thinking about how the latter half could parallel Anakin/Vader….

#epic the underworld saga #epic the musical #Star Wars #anakin skywalker #like specifically I can see this like an AMV/PMV in my head just: #‘I see your palace covered in red’ the temple massacre #‘faces of men / long believed you dead’ obi wan first seeing vader again #(and basically everyone who knew Anakin finding out he’s vader ) #‘wife with a Man who is haunting / trail of bodies’ that’s just straight up Anakin/vader specially with ROTS #‘’song of past romance’ padme and her death #‘I see you on the brink of death / I see you draw your final breath’ ROTJ essentially #‘’sacrifice of man’ could be a lot of things but maybe Ani making that deal with the devil (sidious) #‘I see portrayals of betrayals’ just Anakin turning on the jedi and especially obi wand reaction to anakin’s turn #‘and a brothers final stand’ could honestly be Anakin vs Obiwan on mustafar to Vader and Obiwan final duel #‘I see a man who gets to make it home alive / but it’s no longer you’ Anakin/vader #honestly though it’s a song in epic and obviously about odysseus future it feels like it could fit as a force seer speaking to #Anakin while he was out on campaign or something and happened upon them idk (or a force ghost apparition idk) #my post #GOD IF I HAD THE TALEN I WOULD DRAW THIS AS AN ANIMATIC OR MAKE IT AN AMV

When even Obi Wan has these kind of cruel thoughts, and feelings... It's not advisable to get in the way of the swing of his lightsaber...

Vader hits him at his shoulder cutting down into his right lung. Vader lands down on the ground of Mustafar, shocked. Anakin broke down. He ran to his Obi-Wan holding the man in his arms. Force, no, no, no! What has he done.

“Obi-Wan, no, oh force no I’m sorry,” Anakin said cradling the older man.

“I-it’ssss o-kay, it’s alrigh-t,” Obi-Wan stuttered out.

“Obi-Wan please, please…” Anakin begs, the “don’t die” left silent. Obi-Wan reaches up his left hand, brushes his fingers through Anakin's hair, “Anak-i-in, it’s too late. It’s o-o-okay.”

“No, NO, NO!” Anakin is in tears, “It’s not-”

“Ana-kih, Pad-mé, she-” Obi-Wan stutteres, “Leave me, Anah, plea-ssee, you need to.”

“No, Obi-Wan, I won’t leave you!”

“Anak-ih- Anaki-in- Anakin, I lo- I love yo- I love you…” Obi-Wan’s hand fell and he was dead.

Part of a one shot that i’ll prolly never finish

You ever think of how much of a fucking prodigy Anakin was?

Like, Obi-Wan fought Maul at 25, pretty soundly got his ass handed to him for a lot of that fight, and only won because Maul wasn't expecting him to triple flip his way out of a pit.

And this is after training with a lightsaber since toddlerhood.

Then you have Anakin, 19 years old, a decade of training under his belt, actually doing pretty ok against Dooku for a while there? This is a Jedi MASTER in his 70s, decades of experience, trained by Yoda. And Anakin manages to survive more that 5 minutes against him.

Then only three years later, absolutely curbstomps Dooku on the Invisible Hand.

Like, they weren't fucking kidding when they said Anakin was one of the greatest duelists in the Order

#i still hold that the reason obi wan did so well against anakin on the mustafar duel was because obi KNEW him so well

[mrs-mandalorian]

This scene kills me. She knows in her heart that Anakin is different. She goes to save him anyway.

Duel at Mustafar

got some Legoooo

#i already have a boba but not slave I #and it's original trilogy boba and this is bobf #just what they had at the store and in my price range #there was also the mustafar duel and a bunch of rooper packs #but the duel was too expensive and i prefer bob to his siblings #the AAT was just there and cheap so

[that-gay-jedi]

Thinking about that unused storyboard art from when RotS was being developed wherein while on Mustafar, Obi-Wan and Anakin encounter a giant monster which becomes an obstacle to their duel and have to team up and kill it and then they go back to trying to kill eachother. I can see why it didn't get used, but... Fucking imagine.

They’re so used to fighting on the same side- fighting in sync- and then even as enemies, they have to win one last battle as complementary halves of the same warrior. The iconic duo split beyond repair, but- their tactics and muscle memory still so in tune. Everything between them is the same and yet it will fucking never be the same again.

Then it's over, like every other storm they weathered together, and all that's left is the divide between them and the certainty that one must die at the other's hand. Except we know that's not how it ends, and the final resolution is even worse. Yet mere minutes before Obi-Wan leaves Anakin to burn, they were fighting back-to-back, like they always had.

I'm already tired of star wars dudebros whining about Obi-wan being "weak" and "a coward" and that the duel was bad only because they have the emotional intelligence of a wooden spoon and the only things they understand are action scenes and are bored by deep characterization

#just fvck off #you never liked the prequels for this very reason too #because they are not action driven but focused on the emotional evolution of a character (and the emotional responses of the others) #obiwan kenobi #kenobi #obiwan couldn't directly kill anakin even on mustafar when he had just turned when he had just seen him force choke padme #heavily pregnant with his own children!! #and you expect him to do what?? after 10 years during which he never used the force #never trained in any way #and he has just learned anakin survived #he has just witnessed vader cold-bloodly kill innocent civilians only to drag him out #he doesn't want to fight him #can't even wrap his head around what he's become #he doesn't have the motivation to do it #also because he still feels it's his responsibility what happened to him #directly for the duel on mustafar and indirectly because he was his padawan and it's his too #and because he wasn't there for him when he was starting to have doubts #and vader. #he lives in a bacta tank for like 80% of the time #he has 4/4 prosthetic limbs #and the breathing device #what do you expect him to do? #flicks like when he was anakin? #and even for him #he is consumed by his hatred for obiwan #for what he did to him #because he didn't accept his new plan #and has been thinking about this for 10 years #he probably has thought up hundreds of ways to make him pay and he doesn't want to make ot quick at all. or even be done with him at all

The Duel on Mustafar

Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!

Obi Wan, slicing him up with a lightsaber: What a shame he's fucked in the head
