Best Star Wars Character of All Time Series (Obi-Wan Kenobi Character Analysis) Part 4 Video Essay 

Who is the greatest failure in Star Wars and why? Also Happy May the 4th Everyone, hope you're having a good one!

I enjoy your analyzes. Another thing you could mention is that hiding and making moves in silence helped the sith and the jedi. While the sith hid out for thousands of years, they got more knowledgeable and waited for the jedi to become dogmatic. The jedi hid from the empire in the trilogy and didn't emerge until Luke was ready to begin down the path of being a jedi. Whereas Palpatine influenced Anakin to betray the jedi, Luke influenced Vadar to betray the sith. That balanced the force.

Remember in Episode IV: A New Hope when Uncle Owen said to Luke "I don't think he [Obi-Wan] exists anymore. He died about same time as your father [Anakin]?" He wasn't wrong... Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi died on Mustafar; they might've physically survived the apocalyptic hell of the planet, but they re-emerged from the fire and lava as something different...

Perfect timing, I had a horrible day

Clone Wars makes Obi Wan feel like a character who has felt pain, His lesson was to move on in life.

Thank you so much for making this Great content. It really is something special.

The Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine (Darth Sidious),IS the Senate.

You said that Obi-wan left Anakin thinking that he killed him. I think that's the wrong way to look at it. It's another failure or mistake on Obi-wan's part. He could never bring himself to actually strike a killing blow on Anakin. Even as Anakin is suffering and being burned alive Obi-wan can't put him out of his misery. The best Obi-wan can do is *let him die.* Also I'm not so sure Obi-wan really took the high ground in order to trick Anakin. I think his appeal to Anakin to give up was sincere. True he may not have thought it would work but he tried and in this way it forther absolves/distances Obi-wan of the responsibility of killing Anakin. Not only does he think that he has the moral highground in the general sense, but he's desperately taking the moral high ground in the fight, preparing himself mentally to defeat or kill Anakin. Obi-wan being on the backfoot throughout the fight also indicates his reluctance, not just because it's the Jedi way. Obi-wan's mistake in not finishing off Anaking was a choice based emotion, which is of course associated with the dark side. It could be reasoned it was this choice which directly allowed for the creation of Vader.

Somehow I knew and had “HOPE” that this video would release on May 4th and I’m happy I was right!! Great video! Who’s next?! Is it a man with breathing issues??

Dude these are fantastic please keep going with these, hope you do this for the kenobi show!

These are amazing. Great work 👏 👍

In hindsight Obi Wan shouldn’t have been so hard on Anakin, he should’ve tried listening and being more understanding towards Anakin. Also he should’ve showed Anakin more compassion, and given him an outlet for his feelings. He and the Jedi had indeed failed Anakin, he was wrong to force Anakin into that flawed Jedi mold. Padme, and later Luke were able to see the good that was still in Anakin, something that Obi Wan and Yoda couldn’t.

May the 4th be with you! Been looking forward to this one

May the fourth be with you , old friend

He's back with another banger baby!

yes! been looking forward to this. love the series mate

I really appreciate your analysis👍And I'm so excited to read, that your next spotlight will be on Luke 😀

I enjoyed the Yoda video, but I would like to see broken-up chapters like you did with Palpatine and Obi-Wan. Excellent analyses across the board, keep it up!

Saw the notification for this and made an excited noise. So excited to see that you uploaded this today!

Good video

great videos keep it up bro

Love these videos

This is why Obiwan is my favourite character in fiction.

Anakin would destroy the Sith,by joining them.

"As one would say, knowledge is power." *Archmage Khadgar likes this*

Why didn't Obi Wan finish him off? Also, why didn't Vader let Luke cut the Emperor down? 2 big questions.

A new video drops in - I will do what I must...

there was another suite Vader could have worn that Palpatine didn't allow he felt if Vader did not suffer much then his apprentice would turn against him because we know Sith will turn againat each other and it's rare few care about others .

Without absolutes, there is no evil.

If Luke's father wanted his son to have that blue lightsaber it would seem to indicate Anakin was struck down by a sith lord and before dying made the request to have the saber passed down but Obiwan told a different story of how Luke's father died yeah it doesn't quite fit .

The good news: you get to make more Obi Wan content!

Yesss

Obi wan’s story is by far the most harrowing

I hate that the clone wars gave clones brain chips. It makes it more tragic to have them turn on the Jedi knowingly. Palpatine was a master manipulator. It's not far fetched that he'd have brainwashed HIS army himself. Relying on technology... eh. It doesn't ruin the prequels for me, but I never thought it was needed

I wonder who's watching this because of the Obi Wan trailer?

I wouldn't call Anakin the love her life of Padme, they fling was doom to fail from the beginning, not only for their opposite ideologies, that Padme chose to ignore, but because Anakin not really love Padme, he want a replacement for his mother, even after she is killed, and Padme, as she say herself, want a life outside her duties to the Republic, so in other words, neither is being honest with each other, what Anakin has is an obsession, not love, and Padme is only using him to have life outside of being a Senator, she even admit that they are living a lie, but Anakin not want to hear it.

The Republic didn't betray the jedi It was the jedi that Is betrayed the Republic By trying to kill a elected official Palpatine was completely justified In executing order 66

Kenobi is probably my least favorite star wars character ever, even below jar jar. Maybe a little above Han.
