Ok finally finished my rewatch and my goodness, I forgot how emotional episode 8 makes me. The Violet & Anthony convo. The Mary & Kate convo. The Anthony & Greg convo. THE WRECKING BALL DANCE. The I love yous. The blissfully happy epilogue. I HAVE SO MANY TEARS 😭
I’m literally still not over the way Anthony tells Kate he loves her with no expectation that she feels the same way. After everything they’ve been through together he can’t hold it in anymore.
He asked her earlier that episode to marry him, trying to appeal to her sense of propriety and it’s almost as though that doesn’t sit right with him. He just can’t let her go home thinking that what he felt for her was nothing. He can’t let her think that she meant nothing to him when she meant everything to him. If he can’t marry her he won’t marry another and he just wants her to know that he loved her. So she can go to bed at night and know that once upon a time a man named Anthony had loved her. That’s all he wants.
I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to get over that.

Rewatching the kenobi show...
Damn that first episode is so good
Like I forgot how good it really was.
It sets up perfectly how Obi is beat down, haunted by his past, and fixated on "protecting" Luke. But let's be real, at this point Luke isn't Luke to him, but merely Anakins 2.0. He watches from a distance and sees Luke mimicking flying...just like Anakin always did. I think people tend to forget that Anakin was 9 when Obi Wan started training him, when he says "obi wan is like a father to me" he MEANS it. Obi Wan is watching Luke and thinking of the little boy he not only trained, but raised. He wants to be let into his life and train Luke like he did his father. But Owen knows that would put Luke in danger so he pushes Obi Wan away, making sure Luke stays far away from the call of adventure.
So Obi Wan repeats his daily cycle, work, eat, deal with Jawas, dream of his mistakes, and watch Luke, hoping that he'll see Anakin, hoping that he'll get a second chance to train a Skywalker to bring back balance.
And then there's Leia. (LITTLE LEIA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!) a princess who doesn't fit in, she's adopted and doubts her place, she's smart witted and quick to call people out (padme), she's emotionally intelligent far beyond her years (ok super strong in the force leia). She's has so much potential and her parents love her so much. And then she's kidnapped.
And now Obi Wan has to help, even though it means pulling himself out of his depression and self-cripling cycle. He has to help, he knows it, because she's Anakins just as much as Luke is. And as he journeys with her he gains Hope again.
Obi wan may have been leias only hope, but he was only able to be because she gave him that hope back in the first place.
