Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have a unique relationship in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. The master and Padawan have profound mutual respect and admiration but are not afraid to question each other in times of conflict or uncertainty.
Absolutely. Anakin loved Obi-Wan like a brother, considered him a great friend, and a valued ally.
Yes, when Darth Vader turned back to Anakin Skywalker and sacrifice himself to save his son, he dies and Obi-Wan uses the force to connect with Anakin's spirit. In that time Anakin apologizes to Obi-Wan, desperately asking him to forgive him for everything he has done to him and everybody over the years.
Darth Vader hates Obi-Wan, not because he blames him for his fall to the Dark Side, but because he turned Padmé against him and destroyed his body. The line from Obi-Wan Kenobi, "I am what you made me" isn't a reference to Vader's fall to the dark side.
Now we know why Anakin Skywalker said Obi-Wan was "holding me back!" “I'm really ahead of him.” In Attack of the Clones, Anakin Skywalker makes this casual boast about his master to Padmé Amidala and later, claims “It's all Obi-Wan's fault! He's jealous!
Yes he did. And the saddest thing is that there was nothing he could do about it. He was broken. The first case is shortly after ROTS when Vader was making his Sith lightsaber.
The 2022 Obi Wan Disney+ series shows us the very moment Obi WAN discovers Anakin (or Darth Vader) is alive and did not die on Mustafar. There's material in that series that specifically points out he did not regret leaving him alive.
He slays Sidious and returns to Obi-Wan, begging for atonement by execution, only to be met with true forgiveness instead. But just as this fantasy Obi-Wan refuses to strike his former friend down, Vader refuses to turn his back on the dark.
Anakin admits to Obi-Wan that he has been arrogant and unappreciative of his training, and apologizes to his master. Obi-Wan assures Anakin that he is proud of him, telling him that he has become a "far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be."
First and foremost, Obi-Wan didn't want to have to confront and try to kill Anakin, we see this all the way until their final conflict in their duel where Obi-Wan pleads with Anakin to not make him do what he knows he'll have to do if Anakin tries to attack from the low-ground.
For years, Vader hated Obi-Wan, having been struck down by his mentor and left for dead while also believing the Jedi had worked to turn his true love Padmé against him.
He couldn't bring himself to kill Darth Vader, however, because he continues to associate him with the Anakin he trained as a boy. This is also the exact reason why Obi-Wan didn't kill Anakin on Mustafar despite the opportunity a decade earlier in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
Obi-Wan knew it was only a matter of time. So, he made the difficult decision to use his learnings and become one with the force, rather than let Vader decapitate him.
The Jedi Council's Rules on Attachments
The choice to leave his mother at a young age continues to haunt Anakin throughout his life. He is plagued by nightmares of her and visions of her fate. When he eventually saves her from a group of Tuskens on Tatooine, his blind anger at her dying state consumes him.
Anakin Hated Obi-Wan Because of an Imagined Relationship With Padme. Although that couldn't have been further from the truth, Anakin apparently built up a scenario in his mind, which was only heightened by the Jedi Council's obfuscation in other areas.
“I'm not your failure, Obi-Wan,” Vader says. “You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” This allows Obi-Wan to finally let go of all his guilt over Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader.
“I have failed you, Anakin,” Obi-Wan told Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. And it's the guilt of that — this feeling that he has created a monster — that Obi-Wan has carried ever since.
It was painful for him, but Obi-wan was not weak to his emotions like Anakin was. Anakin cried when he thought Padme's life was in danger and after he killed the younglings, but Obi-wan never shed a single tear, even after his loves death in the clone wars and Anakin's fall.
In the material around the film from the Legends timeline, it's established that by the end of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Kenobi was one of the characters who knew Anakin's Sith name was Darth Vader. However, what he didn't know was that he was still alive after Mustafar.
Not even by Luke. Luke gave him unconditional love, but that's not forgiveness. Anakin, as Darth Vader, committed and was complicit in a whole bunch of genocides and other crimes. The films never suggested that these are forgiveable.
The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred and pain, fueling his descent even further into the dark side.
Vader responded “I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” This allows Obi-Wan to finally accept that Anakin is truly gone and that there was nothing he could have realistically done to save him.
Why does Obi-Wan Kenobi age like that? Because he's not real, and is a fictional character played by different people. You see, Obi-Wan Kenobi is played by Alec Guinness in the original trilogy. Guinness was 62 when he filmed A New Hope, and he died in 2000.
