** What makes this even more tragic is there is a faint blue glow that appears on Vader's face, only for him to display an evil smile through the helmet's opening. Then, a red glow appears on his face after Vader says he killed Anakin, showing Obi-Wan that the brother he once had was truly gone. As a result of this, Obi-Wan realizes that his friend is truly dead. He then leaves the injured Vader behind, acknowledging him as "Darth" for the first time ever.

** Vader telling Obi-Wan "I am not your failure" and that Vader killed Anakin, not Obi-Wan, could also be seen as Vader absolving Obi-Wan of guilt for letting Anakin fall, and that Anakin's failure was Anakin's alone.

* The moment where we're reintroduced to Obi-Wan after seventeen years. It's not a flashback to the Clone Wars, nor a somber moment of self-reflection on his relationship with Anakin. Instead, we simply meet him working in a product line, begrudgingly accepting the mistreatment from his boss and taking a small portion in a packet to feed his eopie. He was a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council, a general of the Republic Army and hero of the Clone Wars, ''the'' master the Soresu Form... and now he's a sad, tired, broken middle-aged man.

** If you watch the Clone Wars, it is shown how Anakin beginning to let go of his desires for victory in favor of solutions that would save the most lives. This shows how far Anakin went back to the learner when he switch sides.

** Vader telling Obi-Wan that Vader killed Anakin, not Obi-Wan. Was that him showing a moment of forgiveness? Or was that him twisting the knife?

** The scene can conjure up images of homeless and terribly off veterans like some of those who survived the Vietnam War.

* Imagine you adopt a cat. Imagine you love that cat and keep it safe for years. Imagine one day that cat becomes a Nazi. Imagine that cat starts killing everyone you love. Imagine you come home one day and learn that cat just committed genocide. Imagine that cat personally murdered all the children you ever knew and loved. Imagine you had to chase that cat to a lava planet and slice its limbs off and watch it die. In the lava. Imagine you learned your Nazi cat didn't die. Its Nazi-Satan God-Emperor turned it into a Nazi-Satan-Cyborg-Murder-Monster and IT WANTS TO KILL YOU. Good night, Obi-Wan.

** Owen isn't getting political here, he's just a scared father trying to protect his son. He and Lars couldn't have children, and Luke was a precious gift to them. No, he absolutely doesn't want his little boy getting caught up in galactic politics. This is the [[PapaWolf most intimate form of]] ItsPersonal.

** WordOfGod has revealed his name to be Nax. Nax is said to have been at Teth, Umbara, and Christophsis, only being forced to retire due to severe injuries, with shrapnel still in his legs. This guy got the worst ending any war veteran could get and that's sad on a whole new level.

** For those that grew up watching ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' and the Prequels, this scene is incredibly heartbreaking. As we got to see Anakin during his GloryDays and all the close bonds he had with the likes of Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Padmé, and Rex. To see how far Anakin has fallen is very depressing. Especially given how it’s Hayden Christensen behind the mask.

** Dear god, how Hayden struggles to even say "An-a-kin...Sky..wal-ker...": partially because without his life support he's a half-alive husk, pathetically struggling to even breathe...and perhaps partially because he hasn't even spoken ''his real name'' aloud for decade, so it's like he's slowly pronouncing the name of an ''unfamiliar stranger''.

* Roken, one of the leaders of the Path, is extremely reluctant to aid Obi-Wan, even outright stating the Jedi Master should leave, as he'll likely bring the Empire down on their entire operation. Obi-Wan implores him to offer his help, stating he can't know the horrors the Inquistion will torment Leia with. Roken then coldly informs Kenobi he has some idea, as his wife was Force-sensitive. She tried to hide it, but the Inquisition eventually came for her. The pain on the man's face as he relates the story is heartbreaking.
