kinda fucks me up to know that the first among anakin's immediate friends and family to realize he'd become a danger to them was threepio. like what about anakin triggered his threat sensors? was it the way he moved? the expression on his face? what about the youngling slaughter clung to him? how could a droid sense the dark side when those who love him couldn't see it?

Did you know? While in exile, Obi-Wan (Ben) also worked as a farmhand, barback, custodian, and mechanic, amongst other things.

There were tears on Anakin’s cheeks, he could feel them. He wasn’t ashamed. He wasn’t going to apologize to anyone, not even Yoda, for caring enough about Obi-Wan to weep for him.

Take Padmé Amidala, for example, whom I trusted to craft her own tragedy, and so she did. Even the virtuous will compromise their ethics in moments of fear. The question is never if they will betray themselves, but when, and how soon. Thus, a life spent fighting tyranny still launched an empire; how ironic that the legacy of the Republic's greatest champion would be my reign.
From "Then Fall, Sidious" by Olivie Blake in From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi

Someone was sobbing. After a moment, Anakin realized oh. It’s me. And then, his knees were buckling and he was heading for the ground. Obi-Wan caught him.
“It’s alright, I’ve got you.” He let Obi-Wan take his full weight because he was too tired not to.

no because this section of rots is literally insane??
Tumblr media
like, in the first line, about padmé, the emphasis is placed on the word 'could', highlighting how devastating the act of someone close to him maybe betraying him was. it isn't particularly personal: it isn't about padmé, or their love, or even really anything aside from the action of cheating itself. he's hurt that someone in general was willing to inflict such pain on him. additionally, anakin's love for padmé is not love so much as it is a need for someone to protect, someone to whom he can prove himself worthy for, a person who he deems controllable, possessable. it's the betrayal itself that's tearing him apart, not padme, not her, but it, the action.
but then, when addressing obi-wan's place, the emphasis is placed on 'him'. it's not the fact that it happened, it's not the fact that obi-wan might have had the audacity to do it, it's the fact that it is obi-wan. it somehow seems more personal in the novel when anakin is addressing obi-wan, because it is not the loss of some symbolic person he told himself to love and protect that betrayed him, it's his brother, his mother, his best friend, his teacher, a person who is more than an idea to him, that hurt him.
so, basically, when it's padmè, anakin seems more hurt by the fact it happened, that the representation of his ability to protect and control hurt him, but when it's obi-wan, anakin cares less about the act itself and more about the person - obi-wan. it just is written to seem so much more personal, because anyone could do what padmé did, but only he could do it in a way that truly affected anakin on a deeper, more singular level.

so there's this devastating period of dramatic irony during revenge of the sith where obi-wan genuinely believes that anakin died on coruscant during order 66, like he assumes anakin died a hero at the temple, going down with the order itself, because it doesn't occur to him that it may be any other way. his grief is overwhelming, he's shaking and lost and needs yoda to reorient himself back into being a jedi at all. he does pull himself together, but then matthew woodring stover decides to punch the audience in the gut anyway:
Tumblr media
just look at obi-wan instinctively thinking of himself in the first person plural because anakin is so much a part of who he is and how he approaches the world, so deeply embedded in his language patterns too. like how many times must he have been accidentally slapped by memories like this, even after discovering what anakin became? his habitual jokes and quips are tied to the man he used to banter with so often. his mind is full of mines armed with grief haha

From Wild Space: Star Wars Legends (The Clone Wars), by Karen Miller.
(Context: This is Obi-Wan trying to break up with Padmé on Anakin’s behalf. Yoda reamed him for his own attachment issues then sent him to dump Amidala in the middle of the night while Anakin’s still passed out in a healing trance.)

[Padmé] took his hand and laced her fingers through his. "I offered to go because I knew I would be safe. I knew the best Jedi in the Order would be there to protect me." [Anakin] groaned. "Now don't start flattering me." She grinned at him. "I meant Obi-Wan." He tossed a pillow at her, and she shrieked in surprise. She threw it back, and he held it suspended in the air with the Force. "Are you still trying that same trick on me?" "It's worked in the past." She lay down beside him. They faced each other, almost nose to nose. "I'll be careful," she said. "I won't leave your side," he said. "Don't," she said, drawing him close. "I don't want you to."
