Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords Are Our Speciality. Funniest Fucking Line In Star Wars History. Obi-wan,

“chancellor palpatine, sith lords are our speciality.” funniest fucking line in star wars history. obi-wan, who has never killed a sith and knows he has never killed a sith, talking about himself and a guy who is going to become a sith lord within half a week, and speaking directly to the sith lord who is going to make that guy a sith lord, with FULL fucking confidence: “sith lords are our speciality.” he says this to palpatine’s face. to his face. to darth sidious’ face. in the most condescending fucking voice. completely unaware that he is speaking directly to the sith lord, to THE sith lord, who before the week is out is going to directly fuck over his entire life’s work and everything he loves and believes in: “sith lords are our speciality.” could you be any more cringefail. actually palpatine deserved his whole victory for not bursting into laughter then and there

Bonus based on this post:

Anakin: you owe me 10 credits, snips

Obi wan: SHUT UP, ANAKIN

Ahsoka, filming: can’t we just leave it on?

Yoda: *nods sagely* luminous beings are we

things that would have to be true if the command structure of the clone wars made any damn sense at all:

anakin is below cody in rank. in fact obi-wan, cody, and anakin have to be a general, a lieutenant-general, and a brigadier-general respectively

‘commander’ is not exactly a rank itself but a weird catchall term for “thanks to political reasons, we can’t use your actual rank” (covers lieutenant-colonel to lieutenant-general, avoids ever having to say ‘this clone is a higher rank than the jedi standing next to them’ or ‘this jedi is lower-ranked than the non-clone officer they’re ordering around’ even if the jedi is a teenager)

rex is some kind of special forces officer attached to anakin’s unit, which is why he is able to command the entire 501st but sometimes takes responsibilities down to the level of a sergeant

The fight of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in Part VI of the series is the mountain top of emotionally driven narrative storytelling of a fight scene, and here is why.

Obi-Wan, during most of the fight, isn't in the defensive. This is the Master of Soresu, the most defensive lightsaber form you can specialize in. But in the fight with Darth Vader, unlike during his duel with Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar, Obi-Wan is advancing. Even in the beginning, even before he was buried beneath the stones. Obi-Wan is having the upper hand, even if it's not that obvious. He is determined, strong-willed, he knows what he has to do. "I will do what I must" - defeat Darth Vader (not Anakin, to parallel Mustafar). He has to end this. But while he is 100% in tune with his skills, his purpose as a Jedi, ("Your strength has returned"), there is still a component left that he hasn't adressed fully, completely: Anakin Skywalker. The grief, the pain, the regrets.

And thus, when they battle through the Force, Darth Vader bests him. Because the Force relies on being absolutely in-tune with one's emotions, also. And Obi-Wan, at that moment, is still not - and this "weakness" is his love for Anakin Skywalker.

"Your strength has returned. But the weakness still remains."

When they clash lightsabers again after that, it is Obi-Wan who is now on the defensive, for the first time really, during their fight. Suddenly, he is losing. Because he still has not let go of Anakin Skywalker.

Darth Vader says: Love is the weakness. Compassion is the weakness. "And that is why you will always lose."

And in that pivotal moment, when he is buried beneath the stone, when he is barely managing to not be crushed completely, when is is tormented with memories of Anakin, with all this unspeakable agony, the regrets of failure, and torment of what has happened, what has been lost... it is love that saves him. The love for Anakin Skywalker's children. The bond to them, and the hope they give him. In particular, the one to Leia. And this, in turn, is also his love for Anakin Skywalker himself.

The weight of those stones, a metaphor for the the crushing torment of what Anakin and him have done to each other. And he literally frees himself from it. He begins to unburden himself. He flings hundres of tonnes of stone away. He catches up to Vader. He uses some of Anakin's own moves to attack him. He overpowers and force-pushes Darth Vader, the Chosen One, the most powerful force-user known in history, away after 15 seconds of fighting.

And then... the stone-lifting scene. Throwing the weight of all those stones, the metaphor for all this grief and torment, back at Darth Vader. And then Obi-Wan goes on to absolutely obliterate Darth Vader. He cuts his mask. And then, it isn't Darth Vader. It's Anakin Skywalker that looks back at him.

And then, Obi-Wan... say sorry. He apologizes. Not to Vader. He apologizes to Anakin. He cries. His heart is breaking. It may even be one last attempt to call upon Anakin Skywalker, his best friend, to save him. And then, once he realises, that it is not possible - that Darth Vader has destroyed him - he says gooodbye. He leaves.

And he let's go. And it is the love for Anakin, Padmé and their children that remains.
