Yeah it’s absolutely the delivery. The tears in his eyes, the way his voice breaks when he says the word “sorry”. He just sells the heartbreak so well. But also, Hayden does a fantastic job of selling the sadness and horror of Anakin/Vader. The way he despondently says “I am what remains” is so freaking heartbreaking. To know that the former Jedi, the former cute kid on Tatooine is almost zombie like like this is so heartbreaking and horrifying. That whole scene is incredibly emotional.

Obi-Wan saying "I'm sorry" is one of the most emotional moments in star wars period.

That scene crossed this show out of fantasy and into tragic horror. My skin crawled when he said that. Shout out to Hayden.

It was not until this Episode that I finally realized why we needed to see that this confrontation happened: The battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mustafar was emotional and passionate, with Obi-Wan's last words to Anakin being genuinely sad over the loss of his friend and guilty for his failure to prevent his downfall, while Anakin screamed back at Obi-Wan as he burned. And then their battle on the Death Star just has them casually taunting each other with no real sense of the emotional payoff we would expect from the two of them coming face to face again after that battle. Not only did this series give us that emotional payoff that A New Hope is missing, it explained why Obi-Wan was nonchalant when facing Vader again on the Death Star and why Vader spent most of the fight bragging about how much stronger he was without acting vengeful or unfocused, as both of them were forced to accept that they no longer have any real connection to each other: Obi-Wan sees Vader as separate from Anakin and truly unable to be redeemed, and Vader accepts that if Anakin is truly dead he should not care about defeating Obi-Wan for any reason beyond besting the one enemy he could never defeat. I do think this show had some rough patches and could definitely have been streamlined in some areas, but I think the stuff that was vital definitely needed the breathing room the show provided for its pacing, and I doubt Obi-Wan's arc from depressed hermit back to Jedi Master would have felt as impactful if it had all happened within the span of a two-hour movie.

Late ass reply here but I think by ANH Vader isn’t rage fuelled at all anymore. Fighting Kenobi was luck and he didn’t go out of his way this time, he waited for Kenobi to come to him. The flame or rage is just a dull ember and all that can be done is dull taunting and half assed moves. It’s not personal anymore, it’s just a loose end to tie up and move on. He doesn’t feel triumph when he kills Kenobi, because at this point they were strangers.

I think this episode also answers the question of why Luke's aunt and uncle were straight up killed as brutally as they were in A New Hope: they came out blasting against the stormtroopers, and probably didn't even wait to hear any questions about droids and Death Star plans.

And Grand inquisitor did not die from the stab or how third sister did not die from the stab as well. But over all i did like the show despite some flaws, they could give screen writhers more time to polish the script. They nailed the ending for sure, Kenobi saying "hello there" and Liam Neeson shwoing up as force ghost is what i realy wanted to see and i got it.

@@BoodyDarknes I mean, those are some incredibly nit-picky complaints, that do nothing to actually detract from the story. The Leia under the coat thing is probably the most egregious, especially when they could have put her in a cargo box or something. But those kind of shortcuts are extremely common in tv series and movies. At least with the GI and Third sister being stabbed, they were consistent in the level of damage. Most people would survive a single stabwound if it didn't impact a vital organ... plus there was a Bacta tank right there which they had showed us earlier. I don't know what some people were expecting to get from this show, but it seems that because whatever preconceived notions they built up in their head didn't come true, they were determined to hate on it.

This episode is solid proof that it was written, directed and acted PERFECTLY....The dialogue between Obi Wan and Vader you can see Obi Wans heart being constantly torn apart....even more importantly as Hayden gives his cheeky sarcastic grin when he says - "I DID" That was perfect!!!

And why didn't vader go after Kenobi alone (or just blast him out of the sky) and let the destroyer continue after the rebels. And Kenobi spared Vader, essentially allowing his galactic genocide.

Hearing Hayden and James Earl Jones' voices overlayed on each other with the torn mask was terrifying but Obi-Wan apologizing to Anakin for everything hits you right in the heart cuz you can see and feel his guilt.

No, I really think that nearly everybody gets it all wrong... The point Anakin/Vader was trying to make there was that it was his choice what he became in the end, and it was a mistake of course..He decided to kill Anakin. And yes, even if the Jedi or Obi Wan kinda failed him, and Sidious manipulated him, it was still he himself who made the ultimate choice in the end. That's the real tragedy behind it. It was not about "forgiving" Obi Wan, or "taking the credit", he just made it clear that he chosed the dark side, he wanted to become Vader. Whether he has to pay the consequences for it or not, it's too late to return at this point for him. And he's aware of that, which is why he know has to go the full way. That all of course changes when Luke comes in, and brings him back to the light side as Anakin Skywalker. The whole story of Star Wars is about redemption. Anakin was a victim of his sorroundings (he was a slave as a child, treated horribly by the Jedis and also manipulated by Sidious), and therefore became a Tool of evil himself. And therefore did the worst things possible, until he meets son Luke, who's not only able to forgive him, but bring his real side back to life. He was the only one who believed in him, so Vader finally realized his mistakes, became Anakin again, saved Luk and the galaxy by killing Sidious, brought ballance to the force (just as the prophecy originally intented), regreted everything he did so that Obi Wan saved his soul as well after he died, so that he truly became redeemed, by becomming a force Ghost too.

Tragic last true connecting moment between Obi and Annakin. Not only does Obi ask for forgiveness but also Annakin can at least still tell him in his old voice it's not his fault as blue and red light are still both reflected on his face, then the blue light fades off and only the red remains (like Ben/Kylo in TFA w/ Han) when Vader threatens him and Obi knows and acknowledges Anakin is gone. So moving.

Vader finally acknowledging that his fall to the Darks Side was 100% on him and his dumbass self instead of everybody else's fault as he kept insisting during Episode II and III and setting Obi-Wan free of his guilt for failing him was something I was not expecting, but it's now firmly one of my favorite Star Wars moments ever, along with Obi-Wan telling Leia the qualities she inherited from her biological parents.

This show made it clear that Vader was so obsessed with chasing down Kenobi that even the emperor felt the need to warn him that his lack of self-control was getting out of hand. Vader used this experience to discipline himself, and to let go, which is why the fight in A New Hope seems tame and detached in comparison.

I just realized I NEED someone to combine Vaders angry “OBI WAAAAN!!” with Mauls “KENOOOBIIAAAHHH!”

The visual representation of awakin in the hue of the blue lightsaber then the transition to the red was so powerful and amazing. This is the finale we needed and got!

That, in combination with the JEJ/Hayden dialogue (which was balanced so perfectly), made for an incredibly effective and emotional climax

I like the idea that now in Cannon when Obiwan and Vader meet in a new Hope Vader is trying to play it super cool and relaxed to show off his new Mastery of self control.

the show gave probably the most emotional story we've gotten in any stand alone star wars project. we see that obi wan is probably the very best of the jedi, he's everything we want them to be. this also clears up so many pieces in the ot and gives us everything we could have been hoping for.

@@jjv124 I don’t think anything will top the ending of Mandalorian s2 - that emotional ending along with Luke’s return literally made the whole fan base cry their eyes out! It was what saved the franchise.

I so appreciate the emotion in this reaction. This is Star Wars at its best. Ewan and Hayden gave the performances of a lifetime, and these scenes will stay with me forever.

It's moments like this episode that really make me convinced that Hayden was the perfect choice to play Anakin. He may not have always sold the corny dialogue Lucas gave him, but my God, he does "evil Anakin" with that malicious glare the same way James Earl Jones does Vader with his voice. I don't know how he manages that glare, but it just sends shivers down my spine now like it did in Episode III.

These reactions plus the amount of friendship and care we see between the two of you while having so much fun at the same time is why you guys are my favorite.

The way they threw qui gon in at the end makes me think there will be more somewhere along the line. But if not I’m happy how it ended. And in my eyes, Obi Wan helping reva find some sort of peace at the end is why qui gon showed up when he did.

When Reva was chasing Luke I heard Alec Guinness' voice in my head "Run Luke, Run!"

This series was a crescendo that ended with one superb emotional episode that served to finish all of those characters arcs: Reva's revenge and redemption, Vader leaving his obssession aside, Leia figuring out she wants to do more to help people and Obi Wan returning to the path of the Jedi. ♥♥♥

Amazing climax! The duel, the dialogue between the master and the apprentice! Holy crap! As for Reva, I loved what they did with her character but I believe she needed a bit more "polished" script. Great arc but indeed the structure was.... weird. She figured out that Luke was Anakin's kid and she wanted to kill him to avenge her friends. Moses Ingram did such a great job, especially in the last two episodes. I believe that Reva should join Ezra somewhere out there. Ezra is great for LucasFilm to build a new cinematic saga and Reva could easily have a place next to him.

Obi-wan apologizing to Anankin got me too. I love there are people so passionate about this show.

She figured out that Luke is Anakin’s son, she wanted revenge after the temple massacre.

I was glad they put the scene with the Emperor in the show (beyond the obvious reason). Having Vader re-pledge his allegiance to his 'Master' made me realize that it helped take the heat off his obsession with killing Obi-Wan and explained why he wasn't actively 'hunting' him with the same degree of obsession in Episode 4 A New Hope. I loved this episode!

Jay, I also cried when Anakin spoke. Now watching you have the same reaction brought my tears again. Its such a devastating scene and Hayden and Ewan performed masterfully. Thank you for sharing this reaction with us.

When Hayden says: "Anakin is gone..I am what remains.." He just sounds so sad and broken..not to mention Obiwan's face 🥺💔 it just breaks your heart all over again, I cried too😭😭

Jay reacted the same way I did to obi wan saying he was sorry. Ewan choking up like that got me so bad. He’s so good. Just wish we got more emotional stuff like that throughout the whole show but what a great episode

This episode made me cheer and cry for 51 minutes straight. Damn good. I kept getting very worried near the end because it kept seeming like they were about to end it, I was worried QUI-GON wouldn't show.

This dude still has the High Ground. He literally destroyed Vader left handed.

My head canon is that what's left of Anakin was what was speaking when his face had the blue glow on it, not Vader - He didn't say what he said to be arrogant, he said it to give his old master some measure of peace.

Watching him change from the Jedi master afraid of his failures and cutting himself off from the force back into the kind wise Jedi master who sacrificed himself for others was a beautiful journey. His moment of realization with Vader and then walking away. Perfect. Also the hilarity of the fact he beat Anakin with the high ground by throwing rocks at him made me laugh..

The comment from Palpy "the feelings for your old master" added to it. But deep inside I kinda know at this point in his life, Vader is deep into hatred and bitterness so is really probably just a better reading of that scene. Regardless, powerful shit they pulled.

I took it as “no don’t take the credit, I DID THIS.”

When Obi-Wan said I'm sorry, my heart literally torn in pieces. It hurts so much to see how he's the only character that has been through this much pain. That's why Obi-Wan Kenobi is my all time favorite Star Wars Character ever. He lost his master, his friend and brother, his lover and literally everything. God, I love him so much. And this episode reminded me of how much I love this character

Trilla in Fallen Order was kind of redeemed, I thought. That last moment with her was very wholesome before Vader steps in I don't hear people talk about how much Moses Ingram KILLED that scene in the desert. Her crying was so affecting, we don't normally get such explicit demonstrations of emotion. I loved it so much

Hearing Hayden's/Anakin's voice while in the suit brought tears to my eyes. Because u remember that HE is in there. It's not some rando in a mask, it's Anakin. I just watched ROTS again yesterday and to watch this episode so soon after was so emotional. Just to remember everything that happened to Anakin and remember the boy (now man) that's in that suit is so devastating and haunting. Sometimes when I watch the original trilogy and then this show, I forget about Anakin and only view the suit as Darth Vader, nothing more, so to see and hear Anakin in there again is just a tragic reminder of him and his story. So sad but so good.

My favorite part was that small window where Anakin who is wearing the Vader suit came out to let Obi-Wan know that he is not at fault for how things went with him. That he chose that path. To me it’s almost the same as Anakin saying you do not need to apologize because you did not do this I did. Then the lights turn red from blue and then he has become officially Darth Vader, no longer holding on to the thought of having to prove himself to his former master. That was his story arc into becoming officially Darth Vader. And Obi-Wan say goodbye darth was his way of letting go of Anakin

Watching Jay start to cry at the emotional scenes is how we all felt. Like damn, the scene was so well done with the dialogue between Obi wan and Vader. The "Im Sorry" part is when we broke. Like we all thought we could carry our emotional baggage well until we saw Obi Wan begin to tear up. The man he trained sense Anakin was a little boy, standing now before him as the most feared person in the galaxy. It is very emotional.

Owen and Beru's action to defend the homestead in this episode put a new spin on their ultimate fate in ANH. Can you bet when the stormtroopers came calling, Beru came out that door blasting?

I’m so glad your heart is healed, Jay. Mine is still shattered on the floor along with the tissues I went through, but I’m sure I’ll get there. Thank you guys for your reactions to this show! They never fail to make my day.

YESSS I’ve been waiting for this love you guys! I cried at so many moments in this episode, then when Qui-Gon showed up I sobbed audibly which I’ve NEVER done in Star Wars, so props to the show for that.

Bro I reacted the same way when he said I'm sorry I literally broke down into tears and that shits never happened to me before like that

Watch this episode at 4:30 am and I cried all the way through. I was so pleased you all got emotional. I so needed to share the emotional journey of this episode. Thank you. Never become cynical about your views. Really so touched watching with you both.

The thing about the Emperor at the end is that he *seems* to make sense by strongly hinting that Vader is getting too obsessed with hunting Obi Wan but I think he’s really just manipulating Vader - or continuing to manipulate him, I should say. I don’t think Papaltine wants someone as strong as Obi Wan to live, necessarily, but he doesn’t want Vader to keep pursuing Obi Wan because he doesn’t want him to find out about Luke and Leia. The Emperor probably knew where Luke and Leia were every second. (And, if that thought doesn’t give you chills, then nothing will.) One person already connected Obi Wan to Bail Organa and then to Owen Lars. If Vader managed to catch up to Obi Wan, he might find Luke, at the very least, if not both kids. I think Palpatine’s game was to let the kids grow up out of Vader’s sight because he wanted Luke to replace Vader when he got old enough. If Vader found Obi Wan and discovered Luke in the process, he’d take Luke under his wing and Luke would end up being more loyal to him than to the Emperor. If it hadn’t been for the secret of Luke and Leia, I think Palpatine would have let Vader keep hunting. As Vader rightly said, Obi Wan isn’t just any Jedi. He’s a Jedi Master and he’s also an accomplished military general who people listen to. If he hadn’t had to protect Luke, he could have headed the Rebel Alliance himself.

17:57 I love how genuinely Ewan delivered that line.

I absolutely totally and unequivocally cried too bro. Hit me right in the feels. Hard.

This episode got me so choked up. Seeing obi wan almost breakdown seeing what truly became of Anakin was so heartbreaking. Also loved the rematch

Watched 10 reactions. Jay cried more than all of the others except for this red headed lady with her cushion. And I cried with all of them. Obi Wan Talking about the parents to Leia got me good.

I fucking adore Jay so much. I wish I could have given him a hug. I also love how as soon as Adam saw he tried to console him, and you could see how much he loves Jay on his face. Love these guy.

There I went from giggling insanely at the "this rocks" pun to sharing in the despair of just how bad it was for Anakin.

I cried too. Just had flashbacks of Anakin being a young innocent kid, pod racing to finding his love, experiencing his Mom dying, and seeing the love of his life die too, to having twins…and everything in between. Man has had a hard life. It be easy for anyone to go down that path, experiencing that level of sh*t. Mannn…that scene was so good
