** Or rather, to expand on the previous point: Obi-Wan's just had his world rocked. He's trying to be stoic, but he's devastated and Yoda knows this. They know they have to take down both Anakin and Sidious, but Obi-Wan asks to take Sidious because he knows he can't bring himself to kill Anakin. But between Sidious outmatching Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's current emotional state, Yoda is probably pretty certain that Obi-Wan is just going to die against Sidious, either from being too upset and distracted, or from actively not wanting to come out of that fight. Fighting Sidious together doesn't actually mitigate either of those, because Sidious is challenging enough even for Yoda that he won't be able to engage him and babysit an ineffective or potentially suicidal Obi-Wan at the same time. Putting him against Anakin instead is ''massively'' damaging to Obi-Wan on a psychological level, but can be interpreted as Yoda actually trying to be compassionate to the circumstances and give Obi-Wan the best possible shot at actually surviving, even if it's by forcing him to do something he absolutely dreads.

** It's murky, because Obi-Wan is sixteen years older than Anakin and obviously has a mentoring relationship with him. However, they tend to vacillate between that and a BashBrothers dynamic that's far more egalitarian, and during the Clone Eats they interact far more like buddies a lot of the time. Obi-Wan seems to think he can't hack a 'fatherly" role with Anakin because of his youth and inexperience when he first took him on. However, Anakin ''does'' see him as more of a father at times.

** I just figured Obi-Wan was basically trying to commit Suicide by Sith in order to avoid fighting Anakin, and Yoda wasn't going to let him do that. As emotionally painful as it would be for him, he had a ''better'' chance of surviving a battle with Anakin than Sidious.

** As others have mentioned, given Anakin's own conception, it's possible there was some Force stuff at play with Luke and Leia even if they were using protection. But alternatively, Anakin and Padme were a young couple dealing with long and frequent separations, so if they were using some kind of "single use" birth control, it's possible there were just times they'd "take their opportunities" and forget about protection.
** The whole "lost the will to live" thing also muddies the waters. Obi-Wan was shocked to hear that Padme was ''dying''. He obviously knew she was injured, but figured he could get her to a medical bay and didn't have to play field medic himself. If he actually anticipated her injury killing her, he may have acted differently.

** Also, Yoda's advice is, to some extent, PoorCommunicationKills. He doesn't know Anakin is talking about Padme, or about potentially losing a spouse or even a child. He thinks Anakin is talking about Obi-Wan (this is spelled out more clearly in the novel), who is his brother-in-arms and a ''soldier''. Yoda's advice in that context still comes off cold and out of touch for Anakin's distress, but in a more militaristic context, "yes, he could die, he knows and accepts that risk, and you need to as well, and take what spiritual comfort you can on the topic" ''is'' a foundational aspect of being able to function in that kind of job.
** As for Obi-Wan's POV in the novel however... interestingly, we sort of see him move from processing emotions in a relatively healthy way, to ''thinking'' he's doing that, but not. The "feel the feelings, then let them go" concept isn't bad as far as it goes, but Obi-Wan - and likely the entire Jedi Order - seem to forget or not realize that sometimes you do have to sit with feelings for awhile to process them healthily. Like, even his emotions around Qui-Gon. It's clear he ''does'' still grieve for Qui-Gon years later, but in that context, "feel this moment of grief, then let it go" isn't a bad way to go about it. However, there are several moments around believing Anakin had died, learning of his fall, then of course fighting him, where Obi-Wan does a sort of "I am feeling this and letting it go" thing - except we eventually see that ten years later, he absolutely ''hasn't'' let go, and he's basically riddled with PTSD. What he was actually doing in those moments was basically emotionally shutting off to survive. His character arc in Kenobi is him finally actually ''dealing'' with his grief and guilt about Anakin, not flipping between suppressing the feelings or drowning in them.

** Anakin is certainly hypocritical in many ways, but in RotS a more accurate word might be "erratic". (This is another case where the novel explains things more deeply.) Palpatine is manipulating the hell out of him, he's sleep-deprived and mentally struggling, he's questioning his loyalties and unsure who he can trust. All this results in inconsistent behaviour from him. In the novel, his feelings are all over the map. One moment, he's sweet and loving towards Padme; the next, he's thinking of her like a possession. One moment, he's thinking Obi-Wan might be plotting against him; the next, he's feeling almost childishly clingy towards him when he leaves for Utapau. He's already strained with the rest of the Jedi, and vacillates ''hard'' on whether he trusts them at all. Even he realizes he shouldn't have killed Dooku, but he did because in that moment, Palpatine was influencing him to do so. Later, Windu is preparing to do something similar, at a moment when Palpatine has his claws ''deep'' into Anakin, but Anakin is feeling confused and lost and actually desperately trying to put his faith in the Order right then to show him the right thing to do. Even though the context was different and more justified, Windu's behaviour plays into a NotSoDifferent mindset for Anakin that was the last thing he needed right then.

** Anakin does actually briefly consider this in the novel. He knows that Padme's pregnancy will eventually become obvious, that their relationship might be outed, that there will be a huge scandal, and they'll both be unceremoniously booted from their respective positions. He then decides to let all that happen and just retire to Naboo with Padme to raise their family. Unfortunately, he starts having the death-dreams basically immediately after that, and becomes hellbent on becoming a Jedi Master ''or'' cosying up to Palpatine, in order to find a way to save her. Of course, as others have said, he likely wouldn't have actually been happy at all not being a Jedi, but he did consider it.
Added DiffLines:
** Palpatine has been dripping poison in Anakin's ear for years by this point, and Anakin generally trusts him far more than he should. He'd also been doing a bit of a NotSoDifferent softsell to him about the Sith.

** You can probably hack and reprogram droids and create an entire anti-Imperial army out of continually activated droids, not to mention not deactivating the stil millions of droids across the CIS's remaining territories would make the Empire's consolidation of power much harder. If you can decapitate the main power-base of your enemies in an instant, why not do so? Think of it like the Nightsisters on Dathomir vs the CIS, where the Nightsisters are the CIS's organic core, their zombies are the CIS Droid Armies, and the invaders are the Republic/Empire.

** They probably figured that it was A: named in solidarity for the "grievous suffering" the Seperatists would have suffered from the Republic, or B: it was named to strike fear into the Republic. This was after all the same Seperatists that accepted a vast droid army for the purpose of scaring the Republic into submission.

** As ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder Fallen Order]]'', ''The Clone Wars'' season 7, and ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch The Bad Batch]]'' shows, Palpatine normally only needs to tell the clones to execute Order 66, with the same message seemingly broadcast every time. My guess is that while the vast majority of the clones receive a pre-recorded message, in this one instance Palpatine personally contacted Cody, probably because he figured that Kenobi would be a major issue.

** It's been said they couldn't leave because of Coruscant's planetary shield, which trapped them in a location where they couldn't hyperspace out. As for getting rid of the shield, they probably couldn't do so until they disabled the generators, which probably happened after Palpatine is rescued.

** Since the CIS is not just a droid force (although it was majorly droids, there are still many organic officers and fighters) they probably just kept the entire ship life-supported to allow for this interchangability.

** And if that is the case, why isn't Obi-Wan dead too? He was exposed to just as much of those lava fumes as Vader was when they were spinning around and going in circles. And Padme? Padme, might I remind you all, is ''pregnant!'' If anyone should avoid going to Mustafar, let alone going into the atmosphere, it's her! Anakin should have been like "Woah, woah, woah! Get the hell back on that ship! This place is hella dangerous for you." Granted he's evil by this point and probably self absorbed and probably is so messed up he wouldn't have that sort of reflective awareness....I guess...but still. The medical droid on Pollis Massa must suck at its job too. It can't deduce that Padme has been inhaling toxic atmosphere? The more you think about this the more apparent it is you're not supposed to question Mustafar's atmosphere at all. Or else your brain turns to mush.
