![]() T0-B1 - the whole time I was dreading some insane Obi-Wan origin story, but naw. The lightsaber color reflecting your character is a neat idea (again calling to mind old fan theories), and I LOVED the twist that the sinister mystery man was actually the good guy and all the kindly folk in robes turned out to be the baddies. The Ninth Jedi - now we're talking! Set in some crazy time where Jedi are near extinct and lightsaber tech was nearly lost, this is the one I actually want to see more of (nevermind this being the third time Jedi are almost wiped out). The OT? ST? Distant past/future? Alternate Jaina/Jacen-verse? New timeline entirely? Whatever the case, it feels like excessively generic Star Wars. I was also distracted trying to figure out when this one would take place. They can breathe in space somehow, but the robot needs a bubble helmet?!?! Wut. The Twins - love the style here and the backstory/set-up, but other than that? Eh. Despite being the only one to have recognizable characters in it, ironically. Tatooine Rhapsody - don't care much for band stories, but I do appreciate how it's the most "new" of the set. Glad it wasn't another "and Cub" or "Trains the Town" tale.Īnd Lightsaber Buzzsaw Umbrella is the right kind of ridiculous. "Ronin" stories are kinda stale at this point, but an ex-Sith on an apparent redemption quest taking down active Sith is pretty interesting (it also calls to mind some Kylo Ren theories, so kinda neat to see it play out here).

Next: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6 Easter Eggs & Star Wars References ExplainedĪll episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi are now available on Disney+ The Obi-Wan Kenobi series finale mirrors Rebels in having Darth Vader’s mask broken, but Return of the Jedi’s removal of it exemplifies Luke’s refusal to see his father as a monster, even after all of his heinous actions, is what helped bring back Anakin Skywalker. Luke ignores Vader’s claims throughout Return of the Jedi, referring to Anakin Skywalker as Vader’s “ true self” and never losing faith in his father, even after nearly succumbing to the dark side aboard the Death Star II. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka each eventually accept Darth Vader’s claim that he “ killed” Anakin Skywalker and cease to see him as the good man they once knew. Nevertheless, Luke remained faithful in the good within his Vader once Yoda confirmed that he is indeed his father. Luke, on the other hand, never knew his father as Anakin Skywalker but was all too aware of his atrocities as the monstrous Darth Vader. Although Kenobi and Tano each tried to see the good that remained in him, they were resigned to Darth Vader’s new Sith identity to a degree. ![]() ![]() What seems to be the biggest difference between the three instances and their respective meanings is that Obi-Wan and Ahsoka each knew Darth Vader as Anakin and each struggled with the dichotomy by the time they clashed with the Sith Lord. While Obi-Wan and Ahsoka each saw the little remains of Anakin Skywalker within Darth Vader, only Luke manages to bring Anakin back from the depths of the dark side. In Return of the Jedi, however, the entire mask is removed gently by hand instead of being cut off in battle. In their second lightsaber duel in Obi-Wan Kenobi “Part VI,” Ben Kenobi similarly cuts open Darth Vader’s mask, revealing the scarred face of Anakin Skywalker who, as Darth Vader, claims responsibility for Skywalker’s “death.” While the moment is a close recreation of Vader’s duel with Ahsoka in Rebels, Kenobi notably has the right side of the mask cut off while Rebels had the left side removed.

In the dramatic Rebels season 2 finale, Darth Vader’s mask is sliced open by Ahsoka Tano during their duel on Malachor, which is ultimately Tano’s final confrontation with her former master. The first time in the Star Wars franchise that Darth Vader is fully unmasked is in Return of the Jedi, where Luke briefly speaks to his dying father following his redemption. ![]()
