@@tomw2944 he was both weak and selfish. Saving him from burning would've meant killing him afterwards with his own hands. Obi wan wasn't strong enough to kill Anakin, so in his selfishness, he rather see Anakin's pain and hope he'd died from his injuries than Killing him directly, and deal with his own guilt.
Anakin was a seriously tragic character all in all. I had to feel bad for him. With how he was treated, manipulated, it's no wonder his anger and hate manifested him into the person he became. With the shit he went through no one would emerge from that trauma completely sane.
Jules Moors bro... clone wars is one of the only good things disney did... Force Awakens: It was pretty good. Last Jedi: Absolutely terrible, Rose completely changed Finn’s personality ik that movie. And a lot of other shit when down in that movie that was crap Rise Of Skywalker: It was honestly pretty good, it could’ve been better if Last Jedi didnt Flop Solo a star wars story: It was ok, opening day didnt do the best though Rouge One: ONE OF THE ONLY REALLY GOOD STAR WARS MOVIES AFTER DISNEY TOOK OVER! Clone Wars SEASON 7: Absolutely a master piece. Don’t tell me otherwise you atheists 🤣 Mandolrian: Is really REALLY GOOD!!! Live action CGI is perfect in this show My rant is over, what did I get out of it, nothing lol
@@julesmoors5219 Do you know that The Clone Wars is not Disney but George Lucas ? The first season is 2008, before Disney get Star Wars.... Ashoka is coming from the season 1 and created by George Lucas himself.
He did say he taught him but as you mentioned, he had Anakin in such high esteem that he saw him first and foremost as an equal before everything else.
Which in many ways was Kenobi's greatest failing. Throughout Ep2 and 3 Anakin refers to Obi-Wan as being like a father to him, while Obi Wan tells Anakin that he was like his brother, but Anakin didn't need a brother, he needed a father figure. This is what makes Qui Gon's death so tragic, he was the father figure that Anakin needed, but Obi Wan could never be, and so Palpatine filled that vacuum in Anakin's upbringing, and filled his head with a very different idea of ambition and justice to what Qui Gon would have, which is ultimately what led to his downfall.
I remember thinking of it just as a story type thing, but when we found out Vader was Luke's father at the end of ESB and confirmed in ROTJ and going back and watching Star Wars (which was what Ep4 A New Hope was known at the time) we knew there was more to this scene than intended. Then when the prequels were announced this and every tidbit of information form the original three movies about the past were thrown about to be in the new prequel movies by the fans, even the occasional - maybe we will get to see what the Clone Wars were about! statements. I must admit I loved all the foreshadowing in the Prequels and all of the nods to the original movies/etc and know knowing how Obi-Wan became who he is and the same for Anakin, even knowing that Yoda trained Dooku, who trained Jinn, who trained Obi-Wan who trained Anakin was so cool when it was first revealed. The hype and hysteria for the prequels when they came out at the movies was sooooooo big, it wasn't until years later that they became unpopular on the internet. It still perplexes me as they are stories to explain everything and they did exactly that in so many ways.
@@jedigreg4636 Most people who were watching the prequels were usually in the young demographic age. After a few years our rose colored glasses come off and we see that George L. isn't exactly the best writer.
@@Menaceblue3 Young demographic? When the movies came out everyone went to see them just like the Avengers today - so I'm not sure exactly what you mean by young demographic.
@Hob Nob Clone Wars was just a term thrown out there in 1977. We knew it had to be some kind of big deal in the past. But nobody knew what it really was. We also really had no idea of how huge and politically powerful the Jedi were before the fall either. We also heard Darth Vader was referred to as Lord of The Sith. But again, nobody knew exactly what the Sith were.
Obi-Wan: _"Your father wanted you to have this . . . when you were old enough. He was on fire and screaming curses at me at the time, but he really DID want you to have this."_
Erm didn't Obi-Wan learn to communicate with the spirits and is seen with Anakin after he turned back good, who is to say that conversation happened when he was alive?
@@CorralejoSoloTravellers Lucas didn't get the idea to make Darth Vader Luke's father until he was well into writing the "Empire Strikes Back" script. Originally, Vader was a completely different person. But that caused problems in "Return of the Jedi" because in retrospect, Obi-wan DID lie to Luke when he said "Vader betrayed and murdered your father." Obi-wan wasn't being metaphorical, there. It also led to that really awkward "certain points of view" line.
@@KneelB4Bacon Yeah not that sad I go to script level, was a fan suggestion based purely on the films seen. If I was to go all the way into the finer detail of what made and didn't make it, then WALL-E would get a mention haha. My comment was based purely if you watch the films only it is possible what I suggested. I wasn't trying to prove you wrong just sounding out the possibility it could have in movie time. On a side note I am a MASSIVE trek/wars fan and watched them all oh lost count over last 30 years (im 43).

@@TheDanrox110 It's not the he didn't like the script, he actually was one of the few people who had faith on the potential of the story. He just thought that some of the dialogue was awful, and that his part was too minor.
Ye he was right because in episode 6 I think yoda tells Luke that Vader is his father so luke began to think obiwan was a lier but at a certain point of view obi wan was right as when anakin kills mace windu his eyes turn red turnig anakin into darth Vader who is a whole different person in the eyes of obiwan and what George Lucas wanted us to see
@@lucadreier22 Well seeing as by the time the Prequel trilogy was released George Lucas had complete creative control. So what you see in those films may very well be exactly what he envisioned (other than the reduction of screentime for JarJar Binks who was actually taken out of the films mainly due to backlash).
wow it's almost like the built the events of the prequels AROUND the original movies... so that they'd you know, match up and be consistent? Nothing astounding lol
Hayden Christensen shaped and developed both his characters exquisitely. He was the perfect choice for Anakin and later, Darth Vader. He really demonstrated the conflict and torment he went through basically all his life. Kudos and props sgain to Hayden for executing this flawlessly.
@@Ar17778 tell me about it. The OT literally has some clunky dialogue too. But because it's the originals they're held up on some pilar that can't be touched. But the sequel hate is absolutely the correct way. The prequels had their own identity. There was no need for the sequels. Disney managed to make people not look forward to a new Star Wars film. What a damn shame what they did to that trilogy.
This edit is great. So well-put together. Alec Guinness' acting really shines, it actually looks like Obi-Wan is remembering everything as he's telling Luke.
That is i like he remember everything that happened and after anakin tells obi that everything was his own fault and bad decisions make so much sense now and when vader tells luke you dont know the power of the dark side is too late for me
The fact that he can pull this off for events that he didn't even know about at the time because that lore didn't even exist yet... it's simply amazing.
Obi Wan is by far the best example of one who stays true to themselves. He lost everything, was betrayed, failed those closest to him, and was forced to watch someone he loved turn evil. Yet, he remained a Jedi and stayed true to his ideals. Obi Wan, the true OG.
Adwait Tapaswi Only from a certain point of view. And I think it was the best choice at the time, Luke wasn’t prepared to hear that his father was space hitler. Or space Rommel I suppose. Either way, he wasn’t prepared, it would’ve done more bad than good to tell him.

Wow this hits so different when you find out what the original plan for annakin and darth Vader was as two different people and annakin being the last to resist Darth Vader and the empire
Anton Yopp to be fair he fought in the war and landed in Sicily so he probably saw enough shit to easily make his reactions believable by just thinking of the memories.
@Excelsior there's a video on RU-vid about how George Lucas talked about it. The clones from the Clone Wars we're meant to be the enemies not the good guys and Darth Vader killed Anakin. There's a lot of other stuff too that makes sense too when you see how it was meant to happen. George Lucas never expected everyone to love Luke and Darth Vader so much so changed the script for the second movie
If anyone had a fair excuse to fall to the dark side it's obi wan Watched his master die Watched his lover die Betrayed by his best friend Lost his jedi order And still controlled his hatred and anger and remained focused on his beliefs, a true jedi
@CVoYager I've always wondered if anakin had he been trained by qui gon, would he have gone through the trauma that led him to the dark side, obviously he couldn't do anything about his mother but I wonder if everything else would off played out difficult
“A young Jedi named Darth Vader betrayed and murdered your father “ - I like how he describes Anakin’s new personality as murdering the original Anakin
when Luke asks him why did he lie....he says that "Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I have told you was true... from a certain point of view."
The 2 actors playing Obi-Wan really do feel like the same person. Ewan McGregor is one of the best castings ever to play a younger version of a character. You really believe its the same guy.
@@iziizii it is possible for two people to have the same thought. Like how calculus was developed by two different people who had no idea about the other. If that can happen to calculus, it's not that wild to think this guy thought of the joke on his own.

Yeah fr this is easily the best one. Theirs another video similar that has slightly more view called obi wan has ptsd. But I just don’t find as good because it uses some other random sad music while this one hits hard using Star Wars music

@@Christrulesall2 Not just "from a certain point of view" -- what he said was already "true" in that way. The point of this retcon is to make it so it really is just plain true. Or at least, to explicitly spell out the meaning of the "certain point of view" thing, as if the viewer couldn't be trusted to work it out for themself. I'm still not sure if I like it. It adds a layer of meaning, which is nice. It absolves Ben of lying, which is nice, from a certain point of view. But in doing so it takes away some of the moral ambiguity, which, from a different (more mature) point of view, I can't help but feel makes the story _less_ interesting. The idea that "It really was Vader who killed Anakin (by taking over his soul from the inside)." was already out there, it was the meaning and the point of Ben's "point of view" line. It's not like it's something original that Disney came up with. Making it something that Vader himself said, rather than an interpretation that Obi-Wan or Ben came up with on his own? I don't know... It adds an explanation that I'm not sure was needed. It makes explicit the interpretation that the viewer used to be trusted to make on their own, and that was more satisfying for them that way. "Absolving" Ben in this way, I can't help but feel, actually _diminishes_ him somehow.

I love how Alec Guinness's acting here is so good, that these flashbacks from the prequels seem perfectly applicable to his emotions and thoughts in this scene. Magnificent actor, in more roles than just Star Wars
I'd praise the directors of the prequels for working around the emotions portrayed by Guinnes 20+ years later when Lucas changed the direction of his story. A really well edited piece of work
@@lyrimetacurl0 Definitely a good fight and Qui Gon is my favorite Jedi but watching the Jedi be brought down by their own hubris, Sidious take over and Anakin's complete fall from grace in ROTS made a very interesting story.
The acting of Alec Guiness is phenomenal here. He potrays the older Obi-Wan so well, it actually seems as if he is remembering a time before this (Episodes 1-3) even though they still yet haven't been released. Alec did an amazing job of potraying an older Obi-Wan remembering his past. May Alec Guiness R.I.P
@@bread1616 Revenge of the Sith was the saddest because of that combined with the general downfall of the Republic and the deaths of some of the best characters from the prequels. Rest in peace, Master Plo.

Dennis R Hill AotC they fight, RotS they’re constantly in sync. Obi-Wan even has the farewell to him before going to fight Grievous, or the banter in space/on the Invisible Hand.
his ability to remember Anakin while ignoring Vader's atrocities really shows Obi-Wan's character. he understands the dark side changes people and the jedi he mentored was a different person than the monster he became
Titanium Dragon no he understood it all too well. Obi-Wan knows how lustful the dark side is. So he doesn’t blame Anakin’s former self. He knows how good of a man Anakin was in the beginning. He blames Anakin’s choices for killing the good that was in Anakin. He would never say that Anakin was always an evil person.
You can just see the pain in Obi-Wan’s eyes as he has to lie to Luke and protect him from the truth of his father and explaining how he loves and misses Anakin.
I feel so sad for obi wan after all of the things he went through he lost everyone who he ever just think of losing your master and them losing someone who is like a brother to you and losing all of your jedi friends
It's commendable how Obi Wan spoke so highly about Anakin to luke. At any time he could have told luke the truth, but he didn't. I like to think Obi wan wanted luke to have a good image of his father.
@Schwanzus Longus yeah, I know. But if Obi wan would have told the truth, luke would have been distraught. He'd see what his father had become and compare himself to vader, not anakin. Luke needed Anakin as a role model to push him to keep going and destroy daddy palps.
I am The Audience in the 70s, and I can confirm this as accurate. Also, in promo material, Darth Vader was mentioned as "a Dark Lord of the Sith" which isn't even in the movie. So there was a lot of pre-web chatter about *that*.
I love how Alec looks like he’s actually thinking about the events that happened in the prequels. Even though no one knew what actually went down, even the director of Star Wars. This is why I love Star Wars
vader is actually completly different person than anakin, they are not one and the same, it was indeed true that vader killed anakin, he was no more and what was left was vader
Alec Guinness' acting in this scene is so perfect when seen in retrospect. I'm dumbfounded by how correctly he portrays the emotions even though Lucas himself was unsure of the story...you can see it in Alec's face when Luke asks how his father died...he has this realization that he has to lie and clenches up remembering the day he almost killed Anakin. Beautiful.
Lucas knew Obi-Wan had been through a cruel war. Alec Guinness had been a Royal Navy lieutenant in WW2, commanding a landing ship during the invasion of Sicily, among other dangerous duties. He very well may have been directed to act like a reminiscing veteran in that scene, and he did it very well.
@@TheRobloxianTacoLord Lying isn't the only kind of deception. Withholding the truth is also deception. If someone asks you what happened, and you only tell them enough to satisfy them, that's deception without lying. Lying is including or creating something false. In the scene, Obi-Wan does both...lying about Anakin's death, but also leaving out that Anakin had become evil. He chose not to burden a young, innocent farm boy with the truth, because he wanted to convince him to take the path to becoming a Jedi...and giving him the harsh reality of what happened to the Jedi may have dissuaded Luke from it.
DahOneGuy32 But actually tho this whole scene is basically an old man reminiscing about the war and how he lost his friends. It’s really fucking sad. I swear Obi-Wan is trying his best not to fucking cry or get emotional.
3:16 punctured my heart. Everything flowed well here. From the scenes to the music to facial expressions. All insync. Anakin’s story is so gut wrenching. 😢
It’s just mind boggling that the prequels weren’t made yet and Alec Guinness acted all these lines out with no source material to go off of. No one really knew who Ankain was or even who Obi Wan was. Alec Guinness had to act all these emotional scenes out with nothing to go off of. Legend.
Alec Guiness was a war veteran who commanded a landing craft during the Invasion of Sicily and was at Normandy on D-Day, transporting troops to the front lines. He was also in Bridge on the River Kwai, and was a Shakespearean actor. If you watch Bridge on the River Kwai, you can see he completely understands a person falling to madness and "Imperial jingoism", so when he's thinking about Anakin, he might be envisioning his own character in _River Kwai_, a man who started out with noble ideals and good intentions, and slowly but surely painted himself into a dark corner.
Love that Anakin and Vader are seen as two different people because that's how it feels. It's hard to imagine Anakin being Darth Vader but easy to imagine Darth Vader as someone so powerful to defeat Anakin Skywalker. Such beautiful story telling.
It's always the great music that hits me. It reminds me of my childhood where star wars was my life whether it was Lego, clone wars or the films. For me it's the best film music ever made.
*Girlfriend crying* “Don’t worry babe, it’s just Titanic *Me crying* “Don’t worry babe, it’s just ‘Before the Dark Times’ *Edit* came back a year later to say I got a girlfriend and we watched the prequels together after the OT. She cried during Anakin’s betrayal.
“A young Jedi named Darth Vader…. He betrayed and murdered your father”. This honestly fits so perfectly after what we saw in Kenobi during the final episode when Vader said to Obi-Wan “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker…. I did”
I don't understand these takes from people.. Why did anyone need such a on-the-nose corny writing of a show to "explain" something that was easily comprehended by common sense before any "Kenobi"-series? The writing originally had implied depth but with disney it's replaced by a watered down spoon-fed reasoning of "Obi wan says it because Vader said it, It's genius!" during a duel from a tv-show that completely contradicts this very movie.
"you fought the clone wars?" I still can't believe the greatest star wars project ever made was made from a simple line in a movie that wasn't supposed to have any sequel
Marcia Jordan yup, no one trusted in George idea so he made a simple movie that could have ended nicely, that’s why the ending of it looks like so “perfect” or contradicting with the empire strikes back, it feels like destroying the Death Star was the victory for the Rebels, Vader just being thrown to the space and stuff. But after the amazing quantity of money it got George decide to make empire strikes back and return of the jedi
Noob exactly, when Obi Wan said he killed his father, originally he was talking seriously. When he calls Vader “Darth” in the Death Star he was referring a name, not a title
Luke:"How did my father die?" Obi-Wan:"A jedi cut his legs off and let him burn alive in lava" Luke:"A jedi? Do you know him?" Obi-wan:"Well, of course I know him. He is me."
shakemy wand Ewan sucked. His piss poor job at accents and his over confidence ruin it for me. I can always tell he is acting and I can always see Ewan. No matter who he plays he is poster boy Ewan. Same with Sam Jackson and Liam Neeson. Why Jorge cast these people I will never understand. But that's my opinion. I'm a grumpy old dick.
"The only Prequel that Obi-wan developed a lot was The Clone Wars(movie)" Well, you mustn't have been paying much attention then. He becomes more and more like Guinness' iteration over the course of the trilogy.
This has been on RU-vid for 5 years and it’s never appeared into my recommendations till now. WHY!!?? This was the best edit I’ve ever seen for Star Wars fandom. I’m in tears because of how beautifully edited it is in showing that George Lucas knew how to connect a storyline.
What is amazing about this is Guinness' acting alone. A New Hope was supposed to be a standalone film with no planned sequels or prequels. And he managed to capture a man with ptsd and sorrow from events the audience was never supposed to see. He had nothing to go on except the script and his acting, and he gave a stellar performance. No wonder he told everyone to look at his other work and not be remembered as "the guy who played obi wan". He was a phenomenal actor
Phenomenal analysis, and completely wonderous how Guinness portrayed the character. You have to believe that Lucas told him more about the entire story and timeline that he did any other actor on Ep4. Still, if Lucas didn't, it makes Guinness look even more like a genius. And yes his prior work is great, but to channel that kind of emotion and foreshadowing into such basic lines in this film, THAT stands right up there with anything he'd done before this "Space/Cowboy drama"
Actually there's a correction, the entirety of 4-6 was written to be one long movie but studios made Lucas break it apart with cuts due to it being to long
@@MrMan2006 im pretty sure the story from 1-3 was a bit different from what it turned out to be. Also he only started making the whole story after the first movie turned out to be a hit.
I watch this every once in a while. What really hit me this time was how popular anakin was in the order. And the betrayal he did with the young longs and the Padawan’s. They didn’t have a chance and he just mowed them down. “Master skywalker there’s to many of them” is brutal. But the one that got me this time was the hologram of taking out the Padawan’s. All of them probably Ashoka’s age. Brutal.
I saw a theory about why he didn't have sith eyes before Mustafar, and its that he, on some level, basically believed he was mercy killing them. 'Setting them free' from being slaves of the Order. It wasn't until Mustafar he truly gave in. Especially if you read about how he enjoyed killing the separatist leaders in the episode III novelization
In the novel he has a secret plan in his head to help the younglings escape the slaughter however when that one calls him master he changes his mind no shit
When he says “a weapon of the Jedi knight...for a more civilized age” Reminds me of when he killed General Greivous with a blaster and says “so uncivilized”
Grevious used cheat of san andreas but starwars version he wrote UZUMYMW and it gave him a lightsaber a blaster with 550 ammo and a bazooka but grevious wrote it 4 times
“I was once a Jedi knight, the same as your father.” I love how Obi-Wan still views Anakin as his equal in rank, even though Obi-Wan was a Jedi master. It just nails home the love the he has for him, his mislead brother of darkness.
I feel like deep down he knew Anakin was ready to become a master and wanted him to gain that rank right after the rescue of Palpatine. All the raw power, skill and bravery but it was his arrogance and vulnerability to his emotions that halted him and those flaws were what made Obi Wan agree with the council.
The look on Obi-Wan's face when Luke asked how his father died is so powerful man. You can see him gulp as though he's remembering painful things (which of course he is)
Alec Guinness also giving such a performance based on a few lines, it’s not like he could watch 1-3 and say “got it”. Which amazes me that Guinness can portray the trauma of a movie that hadn’t even happened yet. Such a good actor.
@@maruraba1478 He was a war vet fighting in WW2. So we can guess he has seen such horrible stuff in war that he can easily give this look. Amazing actor!
At the time, Alec Guinness's Obi-Wan wasn't remembering the painful things we're now familiar with. That look of unease back in 1977 was simply him portraying a man who was about to tell a lie to young Luke about his father being dead, rather than telling him he was actually still alive as Darth Vader. Sir Alec's superb acting in that moment though is so full of gravitas and guilt that, in retrospect, it perfectly fits to what we now know what happened.
@@TheRowlandstone73 Guinness had no way of knowing who Vader really was though. That decision likely hadn’t been made yet & was a closely guarded secret. Well known that only a select few knew the truth - Lucas, Hamill & James Earl Jones (as the voice). Not even David Prowse in the Vader suit knew the truth!
“Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed.” - Obi wan Kenobi. One of the saddest things said in the entire franchise.
I think after all these years this is a testament to Alec Guinness's acting skill. In that he probably only had a rudimentary understanding of the background of any of the characters including his, yet he was still able to convey facial expression of emotion and anguish in that one small scene.
James B. From what I understand he didn't really care much for the story, but liked George Lucas and was really there for the paycheck. Even then he was such a professional that he didn't phone it in.
james morgan he was a more classical actor prefering theatrical type works over scifi. Still he was a brilliant actor and perfect for the role. I love that even though he had no idea you can kinda see in his acting that he wasnt being completly honest with luke.
Luke: “How did my father die?” Obi Wan: “He did not have the high ground” For people saying this comment is stolen, I simply typed it out and then noticed there was another like it after the fact. Apologies for not going back and deleting this one.. geez
2:43 You can tell how uneasy he felt answering that question. He was so heartbroken that he didn’t see Anakin and Vader as the same person. So he created this parable for Luke. Great script! Such wonderful acting. Rest In Peace Sir Alec.
@1 Gladiator eh I kinda get why he said it how he did. In a canon comic it showed that there was some anakin personality left in him before the Vader "killed" him. So I'm not really annoyed with how he put it
I always believed that Anakin and Vader were always fighting within, with Vader winning the fight. It wasn't untill when he fought Luke in ROTJ that Anakin rose and defeat Vader, returning him to the light side and betrayed the emperor to save his son.
Rewatching this video after years, the nice montage with scenes from the prequels makes me say one thing: WHAT MASTERPIECE DID HE CREATE? Lucas made references to movies he made 20 years later and of course Guinness' acting. Star Wars really changed cinema back in 1977
