This scene definitely solidified the idea for me that only Luke could have turned his father back to the lightside. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were his past while Luke and Leia were the future he so desperately wanted.
I heard this from another reactor but, Ahsoke broke the left side of his mask and this episode Obi wan broke the right side of the mask. Both of them were the people capable of turning Vader back into the light side but only Luke managed to take off his helmet completely, and in turn change his father. This was probably not intended or planned at all, but it's pretty damn interesting and it's a really good parallel
It almost seems like Obi Wan never stopped believing the prophecy. Thats why he didnt kill Vader here. Then allowed Vader to "kill him",and made sure Luke saw. Its almost like Obi Wan knew exactly how everything had to play out. Probably didnt understand how Annakin could be the chosen one. But he was wise enough not to interfere. Knowing Annakin played a major role in some way. Now that takes real faith
This is what happens when actors have a solid script and director to work with. The way red and blue light is used to emphasize the conflict (not just the fight) is brilliant.
Shame the solid script and direction was only there for the Vader Kenobi fight, in the last episode. Rest of it was poor... Thanks Kathleen Kennedy. Everything you touch turns to shite.
And very hurtful cuz of the his distrust with the lies of the Jedi Order, Ahsoka abandoned him, Obi Wan didn’t help Anakin enough, and being seduced to the dark side of the force.
With this line, this should be the last duel between both of them until the episode 4 fight. Obi Wan understands that Anakin is already gone and killing him will not change anything. I hope that if there is a second season they don't fuck it up.
This scene solidified what obi says to Luke later. He heard it from the man himself that Vader killed Anakin. He got closure even if this was painful for him
I love the irony of the fact that the only person that could relieve Obi-Wan of his 10-year guilt over, what he perceived to be his failure of Anakin, was Anakin himself. You can literally see the weight of that guilt leave him as he says ...'Then my friend is truly dead..'. Exceptional acting on Ewan McGregor's part.
I honestly felt really bad when Vader was losing. It's one of Vader's weakest and emotional moments like in ROTJ. Even with Ahsoka, he wasn't like that primarily because Ahsoka isn't as strong and he didn't lost that fight. Vader losing his composure and letting his emotions get the best of him is very rare and can only happen with a handful of people. This fight really highlighted his tragic existence, I really felt sorry for him, living with all this hate in his heart and not being able stop it. Obi-Wan walking away with closure and Vader stumbling, seeking revenge, wanting to fight him again and again and again. Even when he dropped all these rocks on him, the way he said "Did you really think that you could defeat me?" He thought that he would find closure with Obi-Wan's death but it didn't sound like it did and when Sidious asked him about it, he paused. Man, Vader's character has layers within layers.
Man you said everything I thought. My man vader got my hearth broke in this episode 😭. I also felt so bad when we was loosing, and then anakin’s voice (hayden’s) wow bang right in the hearth bro wtf I never ever cried for anything like a book or movie but this really almost got me man seriously I don’t get it I mean probably it is because they are reactors so they are just hyping up everything, but man how could they keep doing this whit that fight, it really was so, so hearthbreaking…
Vader is an evil jackass who has killed countless people. Can't lose sight of that. I enjoyed seeing him get his ass kicked once again by Obi Wan. He's a bully with people who don't know his weakness. But Master Obi Wan,and Master Palpatine are always able to humble him.
i know people ripped on this show, rightly so, because it focused too much attention on an ultimately needless character. if they had only made it about Kenobi and Vader it would have been light years better
@@DS..69 That was a surprise hit. Rewatch the episode. Vader force pushed her off the temple and she came back and cut his mask with a sneak attack. And after that he was about to kill her if not for Ezra
The third dual between Obi Wan & Vader is truely epic and in awe! Up to the point where we get to see Obi Wan coming to accept Anakin cannot be saved from the dark side as Vader took over. And we also see Ahsoka tried to plead him. In the end, Vader despise Anakin(his weakness). In that line “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did” shows how far gone the fallen Jedi is, and there’s no way neither them can save them. Only his children can.
Are people now complaining that Vader LOST? People complained when Obi was weak and lost to Vader, and now they complain that Obi is strong and beats Vader? There's no satisfying the fans anymore.
If everyone remember when Luke removed Vader's helmet before the 2nd Death Star exploded, Anakin had a healed gash on his forehead. That was the given to him by Obi-Wan final strike during this battle.
Obi-wan and Ahsoka both removed sides of Vaders helmet and revealed a side of Anakin, but Luke removed the whole helmet and fully restored Anakin Skywalker. 😭❤️
This lightsaber duel was so beautifully written and choreographed, both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen dialed their performances up to 110% out of 100% as Obi-Wan and Anakin/Darth Vader on the field of battle once again. Seeing Kenobi strike his signature battle pose again was so nostalgic, and the ways he breaks down with tears in his eyes as he says, "I'm sorry, Anakin. For all of it.", really gut me in the middle. It really reinforces how later on in Return Of The Jedi, the only one who could have truly redeemed him back to the light was his own son Luke. This finale was everything to me, and it makes seeing their journey from the prequel trilogy all that more special, and tragic.
Ewan and Hayden Christianson are perfect for playing Obi Wan and Vader (Anakin) they know how to perfectly portray the emotions and depth of these characters, like it or not, Hayden is a perfect Anakin/Vader and Ewan is a perfect Kenobi
This Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Vader lightsaber duel was so beautiful, emotional, and epic. It definitely rivals that of their duel on Mustafar from ROTS.
I was waiting for this one. Damn that episode, that fight, had me going through a lot of emotions. I seriously hope we get a season two because it’s such a fantastic show.
This entire scene was brilliant and beautiful choreographed and made. The truly show how amazing the Star Wars universe really is and why it’s so popular. Hearing and see Anakin’s voice and face plus adding in Vader’s voice was perfect. When Ashoka cut Vader’s helmet/mask it was from the bottom up and on the right side and it didn’t leave a scar.
@@dragonballsuper1519 I thought he played vader again cause this comment made it seemed like he did, but i do wish they bring him back to the franchise at least once
The Kenobi "pose" is the position for the Soresu fighting style, is more focus on defense than attacking, is the form 3, he changed to that after he saw Qui Gon being killed by Maul, in fact Mace called Obi the Master of Soresu
even george lucas himself said thats why he lost to dooku he went on the offense in both duels ...had him and dooku fought around this time or around a new hope he said obiwan would win easily
Vader didn't got bested. Anakin did. As the Emperor implied at the end of the episode: his feelings for his former master and the conflict from not overcoming his past is what hold him back. Also, the Vader we saw wasn't 100% Vader, half of him (literally lol) was still Anakin.
HELLO THERE!!!! Witnessing Obi Wan got his confidence back in his beast mode, and seeing him broke his helmet is so poetic as its a call forward to when Ahsoka broke his helmet, only Obi for the right and Ahsoka for the left side. Not until Luke took it off fully that Anakin is redeemed back into the light. They are not kidding when they said rematch of the century, and they totally delivered. Edit: Luke and Leia are the last remaining parts of Padme in them, giving them a future ahead of him.
I'm really disappointed in vader though. How do you get beat in a fight you've prepared for all your life and are in your prime and feuled by anger to someone who never wanted to fight you and hadn't even been in practice for over a decade
Obi Wan now has the most impressive feats of any Jedi in Canon. He single handedly clapped Vader in his prime, no holds barred. Not even Star Killer beat Vader's ass this bad.
i been telling people obi-wan is the goat he not only beat vader once but twice (pre suit and suit) and he beat maul twice once as a padawan, no padwan before or after was able to beat a sithlord ...hes the goat
The moment Vader says that Anakin is not Obi-Wan's failure, it is Anakin forgiving Obi-Wan in the last spark of goodness before dark side completely takes over. So Obi-Wan can stop blaming himself and move on.
I love how this scene has made so many fans cry. I got very emotional as well when I saw the scene of Obi-Wan and Anakin talking, presumably one last time before they meet on A New Hope. Much like the scene with Ahsoka in Rebels, this scene messed me up. I know where the story leads and how it ends, but I can’t help feeling so sad. I love these characters so much.
"Obi Wan is a great Master. Wise as Master Yoda, and as powerful as Master Windu" Anakin Skywalker Obi-Wan is one of the most powerful Jedi in the history of the Jedi Order. Many people don't realize that
Everybody calls the "Then you will die" as a callback to Twilight of the Apprentice, but the whole thing from "Have you come/Are you going to kill me, Obi-wan?" to then is exactly what they said in Episode 3 right before their Mustafar fight began.
Tip: The first 3 minutes of every RU-vid video are the most crucial to lock in your viewer as well as show the algorithm you create content that can hook viewers. If you do long compilations like this, a funny/high energy clip such as #18 should actually be one of the first that place (properly between 1-3 would be great). I work as an editor for influencers, and have worked with some of the platforms biggest channels and wanted share this with you because I really enjoyed the video. Keep it up and good luck with your channel & content!
In three days Obi-Wan got better than he ever was in his prime, but left Vader alive to kill millions more people anyway. The visuals don’t compensate for the illogical plot contrivances.
One has to wonder how close Obi-wan came to using the Dark Side during that fight. Yoda told Luke "A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense. Never for attack." There were moments where he looked like he would go off the rails, but pulled himself together in the end.
genuinely one of the saddest fights ive seen of all time, it's just so tragic. watching a master fight his suffering student feeling guilty all the while. like putting down an old rabid dog that you were supposed to take care of for many years.
I truly feel like obi wan was close to tapping into the dark side and he was doing anything he could to kill Vader until he saw his face and remembered who that was underneath
Great job @Mixed Reactions - its funny to watch you reacting to all the reaction videos and since I cant watch all those other channels which I only like 2 or 3 of them anyway its good how you compile them here. There are a few imitators to you but nothing like the originator. Keep up the great work on the content channel here and getting it out early and fresh!
Just goes to show with the right directing and dialogue Hayden would kill it as Anakin/vader, he was never terrible and didn't deserve the hate he got, both him and Ewan brought they're A game this time around
I love how surprised everyone was how powerful Obi-Wan was in this show. He literally took out general Grievous in like 4 minutes. I'd rate him 4th in the galaxy, jedi mind, at this time. Darth Vader had to lose this battle to become a proper Darth. I liked it.
This Vader fight reminds me of the fight with Bane and Batman in The Dark Knight Rises, with the way he hit him in his life support system to beat him.
So glad haydn was back so they could do this properly and give us glimpse behind mask and whoever came up with the broken voice switching geniuse made it so much more powerful
Yes… And the reverse could be said as well… Vader might easily be able to kill Obi wan, whether Obi Wan knows Vader/Anakin’s strengths or not…. In some ways it is a respect thing… between master and Padawan Long history, being like brothers, etc… I can’t seem to explain myself clearly in that aspect…. Perhaps Vader sees Obi wan as his only true worthy opponent? Any of this making sense? It’s the middle of the night, haha! Phenomenal stuff… just magnificent…
Yeah.. probably could have saved millions, if not billions, of lives there. It’s like having Hitler in front of you, after he killed all of your family, friends, people.. after he chased you and tried to directly kill you multiple times.. after you know he killed thousands of people, including children directly and that he is going to kill many, many more yet and still.. nah, I’m just going to deliver a droid to this little girl that lives on one of the richest planets on the galaxy while leaving the other kid alone who doesn’t have an entire army to protect him, just his uncle and aunt in the middle of the desert.. again..
Obi-Wan really embraced the Jedi Sage when he lifted those rocks (SWTOR reference) Just goes to show how he is the perfect Jedi. Powerful with the force and with a lightsaber.
Whats really impressive is that when Vader did the "Earthquake" he has NO HANDS/ARMS!!! Its all robotics! Which means he could have done that without moving! Just a twitch of his eye!
Shoutout to Mixed Reactions with the best reactions videos. Never the first video posted on the topic but appreciate the time taken and product eventually delivered. Kudos to you man!
Honestly now I wonder if he tried to improve the material of the mask between the Obi Wan finale and his fight with Ashoka so his face wouldn't be shown to his enemies that or Lightsabers are strong enough to destroy Vader's mask in a couple blows
The Emperor purposely gave Vader the worst possible armor and cybernetics he could to punish him for losing on Mustafar. If Vader had been able to upgrade his armor and cybernetics he'd have been so much more powerful.
@@keithgriner61 not only punish him but to keep him firmly in the dark side. The armor caused him constant pain, pain gives way to anger and anger fuels the dark side that's why vader was such beast. Palpatine may be sadistic but he gets results.
My feeling was that this fight was contrived in favor of Obi-Wan. It seemed like Vader should have wiped the floor with him. But I realized something: Every time Vader loses a fight (at least in the movies), he is facing internal conflict. He lost to Obi-Wan in ROTS - conflicted about trying to kill his friend and master who is siding with his wife. He lost to Obi-Wan in Kenobi - similar to in ROTS, while more importantly Obi-Wan found resoluteness in defending Leia. He lost to Luke in ROTJ - obvious conflictedness Every other fight he's in since ROTS, he is just completely dominant.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, as it turned out, wasn’t lying to Luke when he said that Vader killed Anakin. He wasn’t even trying to justify it “from a certain point of view.” We just didn’t know that the “certain point of view” in question was VADER himself. “Anakin’s gone- I am what remains.” “You didn’t kill… Anakin Skywalker… I DID.”
Dude, I love these reactions like this and break my neck to see what you have next. My favorite is the loud, Black dude you show towards the end of the reactions. I would love to sit and watch a Star Wars episode with my dude. He is straight hilarious. The Wu-Tang lines had me dead. Hahahahaha
… Darth Vader was not bested, his duality was again his weakness… he is more machine, so less agile… Vader and Anakin will always be the most powerful in the force…
