Everytime I think about Obi-Wan and Anakin it’s like- I don’t ship them so much as I think they should be together at all times. I think tcw had a point, actually, and the two of them should just. Always be together. I think Anakin is Obi-Wan’s hope in an increasingly difficult life and I think Obi-Wan is Anakin’s tie to humanity when he most feels like a monster. They are intrinsically combined, from the very first movie where Obi-Wan dies at Vader’s hands with a peaceful expression.

It’s Obi-Wan begging Luke not to see Anakin in Vader while Vader searches Luke to see some sign of Obi-Wan. It’s Obi-Wan calling Anakin another pathetic lifeform to Obi-Wan being unable to process the idea of Anakin being anything but good. It’s Anakin awkwardly (adorably) shaking Obi-Wan’s hand to Anakin awkwardly (adorably) bringing up Obi-Wan during conversations with the woman he wants to seduce.

It’s Obi-Wan knowing how to fix Artoo and Obi-Wan teasing Anakin about Artoo. It’s Anakin’s first thought on losing his lightsaber being “Obi-Wan’s going to be mad at me again” and Anakin laughing when Obi-Wan tells him to drive better.

The prequel trilogy is so fascinating because my favourite parts are always Anakin and Obi-Wan. The parts I think about the most often are those parts with Anakin and Obi-Wan. The relationship between these two drives the entirety of the plot of the prequels, to the point that the literal birth mother of the main characters of the original trilogy is all but forgotten in the third movie.

It’s. Obi-Wan spending years watching over Luke because Luke reminds him of Anakin, never approaching because what if Luke really does turn out to be like Anakin…?

It’s Vader assuming that Obi-Wan taught Luke to fight, because who else could teach a Skywalker?

It’s Obi-Wan accepting all the blame for the people he knew best, the people who were basically his family, all dying.

It’s Vader keeping Obi-Wan’s lightsaber in a parallel to Obi-Wan keeping Anakin’s.

They are just. Mutually Obsessed. Obi-Wan held up Anakin and said “this is my whole personality now” and Anakin responded with “neato, same.” They bicker like an old married couple. Anakin can’t imagine even thinking about leaving Obi-Wan behind. Obi-Wan tells Anakin point-blank that he’s a good Jedi who deserves to be a Master.

I ship them because like. The universe? Does?? They are destined to be by each other, in life and in death. They support and sustain each other. There was probably eepy Force magic stuff that made Anakin into a Force ghost because Obi-Wan wanted him to be one.

How else can I explain it? They were made for each other. Like. Literally. They should never be separated. Look what happened when they did separate in universe. They are a nuclear bomb. They have to stay together or the galaxy gets the worst of it, and that’s just canon, somehow.

rereading the section of revenge of the sith where sidious is actively recruiting anakin and calling the jedi traitors who are about to attempt a coup to destroy the republic, you almost have to hand it to him, he's so fucking smart about playing anakin. he knows just as well as obi-wan does that anakin only cares about personal loyalty of the people he loves, and doesn't have loyalty to communities, governments, or ideals. so he repeats obi-wan's name again and again, framing him as the ringleader of the jedi rebellion, who lied to anakin personally and didn't trust him, and then he redirects anakin's feeling of personal betrayal to extend to the jedi as a whole. he does the same thing with padmé and the republic. he makes it all seem like a conspiracy of the people anakin loves (and wants to keep) the most, and so the blow of a political betrayal is instead deeply personal. he had been laying the groundwork all book, suggesting an alliance between obi-wan and padmé, even an affair, all to increase anakin's sense of paranoia and loneliness, and it works to alienate and infuriate anakin more effectively than anything else possibly could have, and by directing him to point that rage toward the jedi as a whole, sidious was able to get him to commit atrocities on his behalf. he just played anakin perfectly, and anakin let himself get played all because it confirmed all his worst fears about loss and betrayal, and fanned the flames of his offended pride. sidious knew exactly how to make him furious and terrified, which is just a very dangerous thing for anakin skywalker to be.

the way it's italicized really gives the vibe that sheev palpatine is very tired of hearing anakin talk about Obi-Wan lol
