Love and familial attachment is forbidden by the jedi, so loving him like a brother says his opinion of Anakin is that he’s garbage
Obi wan, according to the non-canon prequels and non-canon Disney series, shares a lot of the blame for the state of the Galaxy at the time of the empire, having wasted not one but two chances to kill Palpatine’s enforcer.
As much as I liked the “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker, I did” scene from the Obi-Wan show, it really makes Obi-Wan look like a proper fuckup for fully acknowledging that Anakin is dead and Vader is all that remains, and that Vader is an unrepentant murderous asshole who serves the Emperor, and still refusing to kill him and instead walking away.
Like, once on Mustaphar I can kind of get; it’s a highly emotional moment and all, and for all you know Anakin is going to roast to death in a couple of minutes anyway. But letting Vader live twice?! That’s just bad future-planning, man.
Bad script
He goes on to chop his limbs off and recreate the Invincible meme “Think, Anakin, THINK!”
I mean Darth Maul had the high ground…
Did he? I thought they were on flat ground. Am I remembering that wrong. I really don’t want to watch any of those movies again.
Obi-wan was pushed down the shaft by Maul, holding on to something and had to force jump out of it while force pulling his lightsaber. He was in a much wirse position than Anakin before they each attacked.
Anakins move is the same one Obi Wan did to Maul. Obi Wan saw it coming because it’s his move.
Rebels spoiler
He did this again when he finally kills Maul. He lures Maul into doing the same move that killed Qui Gon. He then counters it perfectly because he sees it coming.
Every moment of the “Duel of the fates” stayed with Obi Wan through his life.
Clearly Obi-Wan is the master of the High Ground. He knows its strengths and weaknesses as second nature enough to exploit as he needed.
Anakin and Maul had no chance.
*edit To add: Obi-Wan gets caught in a fight on flat ground in front of Luke? Just gives up.
while force pulling his lightsaber
If you know what I mean
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh my, so perfect, thank you for this
Didn’t laugh this hard for a while
That’s right! But he was also closer, and in a do or die situation. He had nothing to lose. Anakin, on the other hand… pun intended.
Obi-wan had only one way which should have made it even easier for Maul to predict and defend.
It needed to be said, and it was a long time coming.
