So did I. But then I remembered Vader is still looking for him in Rebels. So he couldn’t think he was dead. When Obi Wan sees Anakin inside Vader’s mask and tells him in tears he’s sorry for everything, that felt like he was trying to plead with Anakin to give up his Sith ways. He was asking Anakin for forgiveness for Anakin ending up the way he did. And not just literally in the suit, but overall with everything that happened, the deaths of Shmi and Padme, the Jedi’s obliviousness to what was happening around them and their unwillingness to look past their strict codes, and Obi Wan choosing to adhere to those codes over helping his friend whom he knew was experiencing turmoil. Obi Wan hoped showing Anakin compassion would bring him back. But when Anakin responded with hate, ("You didn't kill Anakin, I did.") that’s when Obi Wan knew it was hopeless. IMO that exchange covered both sentiments of “Obi Wan once thought as you do” and “He’s more machine now than man.” Plus it also gave reasoning for Obi Wan to use the “point-of-view” line on Luke since Vader himself absolved Obi Wan by saying he himself had killed Anakin.

Yeah I agree it was probably a little too familiar - though as soon as they cast Hayden I had a feeling that was the exact scene they were going to do and I’m not gonna lie, I loved the original scene so i didn’t care that they essentially adapted for Obi Wan. Just hopefully they don’t decide to do it again for an Ashoka flashback in her series.

I agree Rebels influenced Obi Wan Kenobi part 6 for sure. I felt it was done right, but at the same time, it seemed a little too familiar. I also think that HC is officially redeemed for the shit he gets (I say unfairly) for AOTC especially, and ROTS. I think it is clear that the guy is a good actor, and I would not be opposed to seeing a Darth Vader series with him in it.

That was the clear influence - I think they loved the scene so much they wanted to adapt it. But even some of the shots are directly lifted from that scene. But they did give it a different edge to the Rebels scene, where that was more sad, this was heartbreaking, horrific and creepy. It also made me realise what a great job Hayden had done performing vocally similar to James Earl Jones when they were mixing the voices alongside.

Characters very rarely get upset when someone dies in Star Wars. I mean Lukes Aunt and Uncle die and he just like looks down at the ground for 2 seconds.

For s moment there i thought we would all be wrong about the Qui Gon cameo.

Shredding master of puppets?

Okay in the new trailer was Eddie playing guitar in the upside down, because that could either be the absolute best or absolute worst scene ever.

I actually thought they'd take a page from the comics and have Luke be the one rescuing Owen and Beru instead of the opposite. I thought during the fight between Owen, Beru and Reva, once Reva got the upperhand and was ready to strike the killing blow, Luke would save the day. When Vader piled the rocks on top of Obi Wan and walked away, I thought that was it. That's how it ends and Vader thinks he's dead. I'm surprised they had Obi Wan come back, beat Vader and just walk away. Which brings me to this. Why would he do that? Kill Vader right there and you avoid so many problems for the galaxy. Not to mention you know full well he will be searching for you even harder now. Obi Wan doesn't know Palpatine will pull on Vader's leash. Speaking of which, Palpatine's makeup looked like crap.

Pants are SO overrated

I'm all for sharing-- but it can make the work environment weird when two people at the same level realize there's a big wage gap between them.

It isn't illegal. Keep in mind, I had a situation this year where teacher A told teacher B she was making 15K more than what she was actually making (or at least that's what teacher B interpreted teacher A as to saying). Teacher B kept going on to staff about how some teacher's aren't placed correctly on the payscale even though I assured her everyone was placed appropriately. I told her I can't disclose other teacher's salaries., but she should ask teacher A to see her paystub. That ended that. My point is that people lie.

And Indiana Jones was in his late 20s banging Marion when she was 13. Wolverine and Deadpool are murders. Darth Vader kills children and still gets to Jedi heaven. Cinematic stories constantly give us anti-heroes or flawed people with we can't help but like. Redemption arcs are one of the core storytelling tropes ever. It's not like Eddie's actions haven't gone unanswered. He witnesses a traumatizing brutal supernatural murder, all of Hawkins is hunting/blaming him, and he's ended up in the Upside Down. He's not having a good time, so in essence he's paying for his sins. He's started to break good, so if he makes it out alive, he'll be redeemed. They've done this pretty much every season, first with Steve, then with Billy. Granted, Billy never fully gave up being a douche, but in Season One we hated Steve for corrupting Nancy until we suddenly didn't anymore.
