You rock, dude.
I like coming back and seeing this every now and then. It's such a good edit
It’s amazing mate thank you.
We love star wars and the story is one of the best ever told. It is still not finished.
This video is a masterpiece.
One of my favorites.
When he asked "you fought in the clone wars" he had no idea who he was talking to. This guy was the clone wars
he started the clone wars, quite litterally
He was the best general the Republic had seen with Skywalker and took on Sith Lords and Greivous without a sweat.
Only Dooku gave him trouble. Otherwise, he was nearly undefeated in battle.
It's like running into President Eisenhower and asking him if he was involved in World War II.
General Kenobi!
@@TemplarBlonic well yoda trained dooku well is why
“How did my father die?”
“I had the high-ground.”
“What?”
“What?”

Best comment out
He overestimated his own power
“You’re a wizard, Luke”.
“I’m a what?!”.
The tension and atmosphere was shattered upon realizing obi wan wouldnt be grabbing a refreshing Cerveza Cristal
Lmao💀💀
Was thinking the exact thing
Bro lol! CERVEZA CRISTAL!
It will never hit the same way again. We are all forever cursed.
Every time I watch this scene I can't help but think of Cerveza Cristal
It’s amazing how consistent George was with the timeline. The fact that he based Anakin’s downfall of off this one conversation and made it all match amazes me to this day. Disney has never put that much care into the franchise.
Consistent? Oh, please... "I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since BEFORE you were born. "
@@galaxyrider9599 Ohh no, whatever shall we do...
@@galaxyrider9599 and didn't his and Yoda's exile begin at the same time that Padmé gave birth and died?
It was true until Disney came and messed up everything with their hot garbage of low effort shows.
Disney version:
“Somehow your father died, that’s a good question , but for another time”
@@carlosdgutierrez6570 obi says that anakin wanted to give luke his lightsaber. generally the prequels are trash and murder the original trilogy and thei continuity
"You fought in the Clone Wars?"

Many once knew me as the master of trolling
“We were 2D then 3D and then we were live action again”
I have a feeling I’ve seen this comment many months ago
Yeah, I swear this is not the original comment, but it’s the same so does it really matter
@@kunaikai and then just recently before you came back with that droid, i was 3d again.
I truly respect obi-wan
He lost his love
He lost his best-friend
He lost his master
And he still stayed as a jedi
I'd argue Obi-Wan was one of the greatest Jedi to ever live, he had so many sad and horrible things happen to him in his life and he still remained a strong and capable master. Not once did he ever even show a chance of turning to the Dark Side. He had so many chances but never took the easy way out
@@devinbrooks3930 fr
Obi wan is the greatest jedi to have ever lived, and thats because anakin and quigon pushed him to be more than just a jedi. We’re shown early on from phantom that the order was flawed and unwilling to adapt/change.
So was his master,the one who follow the forces instead of the Jedi ways
The Story of Obi-wan is truly a... tragedy.
He lost everyone that he loved and people who were around him.
They keep haunting his dreams, yet he doesn’t succumb to the darkness of those.
He used his own flaws to overcome the darkness.
"He betrayed and murdered your father."
Sends chills up my spine every time...
could Obi-Wan not be talking about Vader... but instead himself?
does he think that he betrayed and then murdered Anakin...?
@@thebaseandtriflingcreature174 obi wan feels like he failed anakin, because he couldnt keep him from going down a bad path. however i dont feel like he was talking about himself in that instance. anakin becoming a sith killed anakin, and birthed vader.
For some reason I heard it in this edit as "betrayed and humiliated your father" and I thought that was a better line.
I have no idea how Alec had the foresight to glare at R2 the way he initially does. Neither he nor Lucas knew at that point that Obi-wan and R2 had ever met, yet he still glares at R2 in annoyance for bringing the war to Luke and blowing years of covert existence.
Ive heard conflicting things. Many say lucas had the outlines of the full story before making the first movie in 1977. The lack of technology made it very difficult to create what he wanted so he had to start in the middke of the story, also he was only to make one movie at first by contract, so he had to scrap alot of it and try to make a movie that could stand on its own. But apperantly the arch of anakin falling and his children redeeming him was in the original script, not fully fleshed out. Idk what to believe lol
@@cognitivedisability9864 I thought it was pretty well known that Lucas didn't know that Vader was Luke's father until after the original was released? Or maybe he planned to tell the story of Darth Vader but not have him be Luke/Leia's dad?
@@NikhillRao27 Possible that he didn't know he would combine Darth Vader and Luke/Leia's dad. Still, it is very obvious that he had major plot points tucked under his belt, and left a lot of room for expansion at a later date. He did a damn good job. Now it's impossible to find a series that is released with this level of confidence, nobody pulls their punches for the final knockout anymore. Scripts are written the day before filming and the diarrhea flows freely.
Lmao I never noticed that glare! I love that
@@cognitivedisability9864Sure but come on R2 and 3PO being a part of the grand through-line was nowhere in anyone’s mind.
”You knew my father?”
”Yes, remarkable man. Flammable.”

Luke: You Fought in The Clone Wars?
Obi Wan: Yes I once was a cartoon character like your father
+Obi Wan Kenobi i need to talk to about Anakin and Padmè Relationship i need help pls
Indeed I was
+Darth Vader i am also a Sith
The best cartoon character ever
Sean Glasshoff YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT.
The look Alec Guinness gives when Luke asks how his father died... Incredible acting that has aged like a fine wine!👏🏻
Especially when you consider that Alec Guinness appearantly didn't understand Star Wars and thought it was fairytail rubbish. The fact that he was able to take a concept that was completely new at the time, and when sci-fi kind of media wasn't very popular in the mainstream, and act it all out so convincingly is truly a testament to his abilities.
That little glance away as OB tries to stop himself remembering Anakin burn is PEAK editing, man.. this is genuinely one of the best fan made *anythings* ever.. the amount of weight and depth it adds to Guinness' performance is worthy of the _highest_ credit
Watch this at least 3 times a year and it gets better every single time ❤
I love that’s the moment that reminds him he has Anakin’s lightsaber. I was actually expecting it in the edit, the shot on Mustafar of Obi-Wan’s hand picking up Anakin’s lightsaber at the same time Alec Guinness takes it out of the chest.
Yeah this is top tier editing. This has kind of renewed my interest in the franchise
@@fritzerland2210 "I love that’s the moment that reminds him he has Anakin’s lightsaber"
Do you know, I guess, that lightsaber butchered the younglings? .... 3:51 lol😂
In honesty I've never been much of a fan of the series, but I *really* enjoyed this. Definitely elevated the source material for me. I'm not too keen on Lucas as an actual director, producer etc. I think he's best as a big-picture story guy, that others could then flesh out, write good dialogue for, storyboard the camera angles etc.
I took it as that glance was after he remembered the last moment he ever saw Anakin in the flesh ( the same Anakin who was now Vader with his declaration of hatred ) and the memory of when he grabbed his blue lightsaber, he then looks over at the chest where the weapon is.
“I HATE YOU... MAKE SURE TO GIVE MY SON MY LIGHTSABER WHEN HE’S OLD ENOUGH”

Haha!!
😂
Vader didn’t even know Luke was alive
@@minti2355 Once he turned to the dark side Vader was ordered to hunt down remaining Jedi. He killed one, took his light saber, and turned the kyber crystal red with hatred.
When Obi-Wan said "and he was a good friend", Alec Guiness' acting was like he exactly remembered that scene on Mustafar. That's something beyond remarkable
Doge Animations especially since the scene on Mustafar didn’t even exist back then. though George has already thought about it
Ikr
"And he was a good friend... shame I had to cut off his limbs..."
@@michaelwilson5114 "using forbidden move that dont suit jedi combat style, which makes that even more dramatic"
Yeah, George Lucas wrote the battle on mustafar before he wrote episode 4
Just proves how much of a great actor Sir Alec Guinness was he gave this character so much depth just by his acting and this was before George Lucas wrote the script for the prequals, you really get the sense of how terrible order 66 was just by his facial expressions, and ill say it again this was before the prequals even existed yet his facial expressions matches the edited in flashbacks so well bravo Alec Guiness, George Lucas and the editor of this video
We need a what if and Obi-Wan saving Anakin
*prequels
He had already written drafts for them, heck the original starwars was basically 'Space Nazi's must die', personally I look back now at the Prequals and just see them as Imperial Propoganda films, along with everything since the original trilogy.
I had years to read all about the clone wars, and the armies of sith and jedi fighting, how Vader had fallen into a volcano, the whole bit.
he was born at the start of ww1 and served as a lieutenant in royal navy during ww2...acting out the pain of being in a horrible war wasn't an act for him at all
uncanny how even though they didn't have the prequels yet, those memories were put in at the optimal time in order to make old Obi Wan's words carry more weight and pain
Luke: says literally anything
Obi-wan: *Terrorizing Flashbacks*
I feel as though it should stay at 69 likes. 👍 hope that makes up for it
“Hey, your fly is down”
“Fly...down........FLY DOWN!...FLYING DOWN!!! WE’RE GOING DOWN!”
Luke : woops, my toast fell on the floor... :-(
Obi-Wan : Darth Vador used to throw everyone's toast on the floor... the dark side once pushed him to kill your father's toast...
Luke: How did my father die?
Ben Kenobi: We got in an altercation and-*dies*
Luke: Say hi to my father for me, and take his lightsaber with you...

@Vox3l-Gl1tch sorry 😔
This is why Kenobi will always be my favorite character in Star Wars. The amount of pain, heartbreak, and loss he has gone through and still manages to do the good thing, the right thing is absolutely amazing. He will always have a special place in my heart. Makes me shed a tear. When I was a kid growing up, Kenobi was always the one I would pretend to be when playing and I always looked up to the idea of his character.

SAME.
Here again, after many years. It's still as powerful as it was the first time I saw it.
_This_ is what the Obi-Wan show should've been like.
Disney doesn't care about the depth and spirit of Star Wars. They don't care about the characters, or cohesivity. Disney only care about DESTROYING GOOD, and pushing their Woke, fascist and, anti-faith, anti-white, and LGBTQ agendas!!

It's amazing Obi-Wan kept it together all these years with what he witnessed.
*what he lived through
Out of all the "before the dark times" video edits, this is STILL by far the BEST.
Although some other versions are longer, with the flashbacks following a more linear recollection of events chronologically, that's not how memory works. Instead, our memories are episodic, segmented, and all appear out of order. This edit displays this fact perfectly.
We remember things not in the way they have happened, but in how they made us feel. Words that trigger certain emotions, both of which you haven't heard nor experienced in years cause the most vivid yet random flashbulb images that penetrate the mind without any control of what you see or feel. Great video!
Praise to Alec Guinness for the top tier performance. Man is suffering PTSD from movies that had yet to be released in 30 years.
Sir Alec Guinness knew Obi Wan’s backstory better than even George Lucas did…
Luke: Do you know who killed my father ?
Obi wan : Of course I know him, he is me
Obi Wan didn't kill his father though, lol. Luke's father killed Obi-Wan. Unless you mean killed in a metaphorical sense. In which case, Obi-Wan still didn't kill Luke's father.
@@827Drew I mean he did technically left Anakin to die on mustafar. Anakin would have died if it wasn't for Palpatine.
@@tonywoods1226 Yeah, but...Anakin didn't die, so Obi-Wan couldn't have possibly killed him. He might've wanted to kill him, or let him die, but he was unsuccessful. So, I can't say any killing happened.
@@tonywoods1226 Let me just elaborate. What really happened is Anakin killed himself, when he decided to become Darth Vader. You might not agree with that statement, but I'm pretty sure that's what the movie was trying to show you.
@Drew B Obi-Wan Kenobi left him there to die. He thought Anakin had, until he felt his presence.
Luke: you fought in the clone wars??
Starwars audience in 1977: The What
Yeah. One of many things that had us just wanting *more* for decades...
Early concepts for the clone wars were an uprising of clones
Nah, we just accepted the term; we had heard of clones, knew what the word means. Also, even in 1977, it said, "Star Wars Episode 4" at the start of the scroll; I wanted to know where the first 3 episodes were. I learned in the book, "The Making of The Empire Strikes Back," that George Lucas had nine chapters in mind for the story.
Obi-Wan: Yes, your father and I were both cartoons, once.
@@strivingformindfulness2356 then Disney took a giant shit on Gorge ideas for the sequels and rushes in without a plan and story.
One of the great things about the original Star Wars movies is their ability to make a simple conversation or even a single line hint at the fact there’s much more to this universe.
Guinness commanded a Landing Craft Infantry at the Allied invasion of Sicily in WWII. I bet he's drawing on those painful memories to give this scene weight.
"He was the best star pilot in the galaxy...and a cunning warrior...and he was a good friend."
Just break my heart won't you.
Breaks mine and yours......

R4-P17: **swears in astromech language**
Luke: You fought in the Clone Wars?
Obi-wan: _brain suddenly switches to cartoon mode_
I ctually expected something like that to happen
Further evidence of the PTSD
The brain often remembers things in a hyperbolic sense. For instance, the stuff I remember from a kid is more or less incorrect but that's due to a variety of memory distortions. I remember the snow being piled higher than I was tall and it felt like 8 feet. But it was probably 3 feet deep. Think of a time when you were maybe 2-3 feet tall and remember the world. Your memory will be distorted or misinterpreted due to adult experiences and time.
I remember being stung by bees and my memory serves me as it being a traumatic experience. But as an adult I had a bee stinging me repeatedly and I didn't even realize it - yet when I did notice that's when my mind freaked out. I would associate that response to my childhood experience.
Didnt you know the clone wars were fought completely in Computer Graphoc Interface Animation??

It's crazy. When Luke says the name Obi-wan Kenobi, you can see the stress, emotional trauma, the PTSD of Kenobi in Sir Alec Guiness's face and eyes. And this was around 30 years before the prequels. Insane.

Otakamerd Anakin doesn’t like sand for one reason. He lived on a planet that was all sand for years as a slave with his mother. He couldn’t free his mother from slavery and he couldn’t free himself without help. Seeing sand brings back bad memories. People just need to really listen to what the characters are saying and try to analyze what they are saying. Don’t be dumb and jump on the bandwagon. Actually think about what the characters are saying.
Gotham Savior so what you are saying is that.... he didn't like sand!
Gotham Savior Maybe because 90% of Star Wars fans are retarded
I never considered what the events of the Prequels would have done to Obi Wan, having watched the films when I was younger. This video really does put it in a new light.

This is one of my favourite videos on youtube. I think it does a great job of showing the emotional ideas of the prequels that the movies themselves really butchered, and highlighting Alec Guiness' fantastic acting. It's far more emotionally compelling than the prequels themselves.
Jeez I thought this was going to be something funny not something that was gonna make me tear up. Genuinely felt more emotion for Obi Wan in these 5 min than in the entirety of the Disney+ series of his namesake.

Not only was the story of the prequels already written before even shooting A New Hope, of course his story matches what happens in the movies. How are people so impressed by this? "Wow, it's like he already knew what was going to happen, like they just based the prequels on this scene". Yeah no shit, of course they're going to make the stories align, do people expect there to be gaping plotholes? Is that why this seems so amazing?
2:22 is incredible. "Your father's... lightsaber." And then it flashes back to Anakin commiting a horrid war crime. That part of this video always just stabs me right in the feels.
Got to give credit to George for threading the needle between two trilogy’s. Nobody knew at the time that R2D2 would be a faithful companion to Anakin, and yet if you suspend the fact that these trilogies were made so far apart, the way Ben says “I don’t remember ever owning a droid” and the look that follows, it’s incredible! It’s such a small detail but it’s just… incredible.
Lenoki was right in that, he has not have a droid in clone wars (at least one to last longer) so yeah, the line "I don't remember have a droid" is acurrate and true
@@rockabillygally1210 and even then he never owned one, they were republic/jedi property. R2d2 was padmes droid which she gifted to anakin, hence why its his.

Love the way he makes the difference between Anakin and Vader. Anakin was a jedi, Vader killed Anakin and destroyed the jedi. Even before the prequels, Anakin and Vader were already depicted as two different entities in one person.

Watching this you realize how rich Alec Guinness' interpretation was. It's like he knew the whole story already.
oO Anonyme Oo what makes it even more impressive is that no one knew what the backstory even was at this point. Dude was a fantastic actor
That's what I said.
amazing performance in deed
Even though he was not fond of Star Wars...he really committed to giving it his best. That’s a good actor, almost like Mark Hamill learned from him. Even though he doesn’t like the new Disney films, he is giving his best.
I think what Mark Hamill thinks about the new Star Wars movies depends on which click-bait you are reading at that moment.
Some articles use quotes taken completely out of context, and I don't believe he has ever said he didn't like the Last Jedi, just that initially he had some doubts *at scripting phase*! He later came out to say he considers TLJ a great movie.
The context matters. If he really hated the movie it would have been extremely unprofessional of him to ciritize it during its marketing, no matter who you are.
Obi Wan gives R2 the side eye like " You better not spill the beans little fren"
It's crazy that George had all this in his head and prepared himself for decades
Admit it, you came here expecting a joke but got something way better instead
Came here to laugh and expected a meme, stayed and cried instead
This is exactly it.

Yeah the title was misleading
Yessir!
"Your father wanted you to have this when you were older."
"What is it?"
"It's the Youngling Slayer 9000"
Underrated comment
That's exactly what I was thinking. He betrayed his baby brothers and sisters with that saber. They looked up to him. They didn't even ask for that life. That Sabers sacredness was tainted when he did that.
"YOUR FATHER WANTED YOU TO HAVE THIS WHEN YOU WERE/GOT OLDER".THIS PHRASE SHOULD'VE OF NOT BEEN USED IN THE 1ST(4TH)STAR WARS MOVIE BECAUSE WHEN LAYA&LUKE WERE BORN OBI-ONE KEPT THEM FAR,FAR AWAY FROM DARTH VADER AND DARTH VADER NEVER NEW HE HAD KIDS SO HOW CAN THAT PHRASE HAVE ANY TRUTH BEHIND IT?
@@craigbosko2229 well dont know why you used all caps but anyways the reason he kept them away from anakin/vader was he didnt want them if it so happened they were force sensitive to be turned to the dark side as they would if they grew up with anakin and presenting the saber at this point in time was to try to start luke on the path of the jedi as we see even later when obiwan starts training luke to block blaster bolts with it in the millennium falcon its a lie no less then telling luke vader killed his father its to make things easier rather then saying oh yes your father betrayed me and thousands of others murdered countless people including children and oh yeah i chopped him in half and left him near a pool of lava im sure that would of gone over well with luke
9000 stands for number of slayed younglings
Alec Guinness absolutely carried the movie and this scene proves it: the way he doesn’t rush his words, how he’s looking down at the ground and lamenting, not showing any pride, in the fact he was a Jedi. How his face goes from fondly remembering anakin for a moment but then remembering what came after, what he had a hand in fostering. And how he starts rocking back and forth a little while discussing anakins death. Literal ptsd in his eyes. he coldly says “he betrayed and murdered your father” looking right at luke, probably seeing the faces of all the dead younglings looking right back at him. All his friends and colleagues now one with the force echoing back at him “why?”….
This scene makes the saga, without it the story falls apart. Fuck the trench run, the cantina, hoth, Endor, sith lightning, or even the force itself. It all takes a backseat to this one moment of brilliant acting by a man who thought nothing more of the project but “a space movie for children”.
Absolutely earned that 2.5% of the gross
“You fought in the Clone Wars?”
“Yeeeeahhh…”
"I was once a jedi knight , the same as your father"
"Then I became a jedi master , unlike your father"
OUCH
This is outrageous, it's unfair!
Ooooooooo
Rip Anakin, he's gonna need more than bacta to heal that wound
@Manek Iridius *sits down in anger*
Imagine being such a great actor you can act in context of movie that didn’t exist yet
Alec Guinness was a veteran of WW2, so when Lucas told him to act like he has seen unspeakable tragedy, he could. Because he has seen it in real life.
Phil Thats deep..
Well George Lucas was on set and he had most likely already thought of the entire story before he started making the prequels sooo... he probably already knew about the rough plot of the prequels. He’s still a great actor though
@@lancehitt0548 He actually did not plan on making prequels. He's said he wanted to continue Luke and everyone's story after the fall of The Empire but fans wanted to know how Darth Vader became Darth Vader, so he decided to go with the prequels.
Brain rich oh? I didn’t know that. Thanks for telling me.
“I don’t seem to ever remember owning a droid”
*cut to R4 getting decapitated
I don't know how I am only seeing this now but holy shit what a masterpiece of a video 👍
"I was once a jedi knight, same as your father" then it shows the maul duel followed by Anakin moments got me like 😭
“Here is your father’s lightsaber”, the youngling slayer 5000.
"here is your father's lightsaber" luke picks ut up and admires it. Obi wan "he murdered many children with it
LOL
“As you will. Soon enough.” Obi-Wan’s form slowly transforms into a grotesque wrinkled old man in a hood... As Luke recoils in fear the scene slowly fades to black.
“This will be the final word in the story of Skywalker.”
@@vincentcordi lmao , you killed me Vincent.
Oh *uck lmao. Oh no.
“Beware of an old man in a profession where men die young”
Damn.
Well, yeah. According to the screenplay writer and choreographer of ROTS, Obi-Wan was an 8/10 in terms of power, while Yoda, Anakin and Sidious were alone in being a 9/10. That basically makes Obi-Wan one of the greatest Jedi of all time in terms of combat prowess alone, and that wasn't even his greatest virtue. The quote applies to him for sure.
As far as I know, Obi-Wan is the best at one of the lightsaber techniques and if I'm not lying to myself, that's the defensive one. He might have not been as force-sensitive as Anakin, but re-watch their battle and notice how Obi-Wan did not get hit once.
@@alonnie1919 Soresu, and he was not just 'a' master at it, but according to Master Windu, yes the guy who kicked Sidious' ass (confirmed by Lucas not to have been a ploy), Obi-Wan is 'THE' mater of Soresu. Only Master Yoda could hit him in combat, and he still struggled with it.
If anyone wanted to hit Kenobi in battle they'd have to have either flawless Makashi, which is the fencing style and Dooku's style, or even more perfect Ataru, which is the acrobatic style and Yoda's style.
Straight White Male
What if I just hit o I wan lightsaber really hard.
they really knew what they were doing when creating a new hope, they managed to make it seem like there was an entire story that happened before it
Even though A New Hope was before anything else, Alec Guinness played an old obi wan so well. Dude looked traumatized as hell.
This made me respect Hayden Christensen's abilities as an actor quite a bit more. His lines were shit, but his ability to express emotion wordlessly is pretty top notch.
Jergen I couldn’t agree more. Same with Ewan McGregor
This. Hayden did a fine job, its just that the people behind the camera told him to do stupid shit.
Jergen Well Lucas can write a damn good story but dialogue isn't his strongest point
Emperor Sheev Palpatine Aren't you dead?
Emperor Sheev Palpatine *Do it again, I like it a lot.*
This just shows how good an actor Alec Guiness was. He makes us believe he is really having flashbacks to the movies that hadnt existed yet.
@John Wack glad it changed
@The Shadow Master He didn't tho.
His face really does have that mile-long stare that is most commonly associated with PTSD.
Timing is essential,,,
@@domonchief Sir Alec had served in World War 2 for 3 years, including participating in the landing on Sicily. In addition, he starred in numerous war movies. He certainly had a wealth of experience to draw from to deliver this performance. I don't think there could've been a better choice of casting for Obi-Wan.
"What is it?"
'A really dangerous weapon. Wanna play with it?'
Yikes
There is nothing on this planet like Star Wars. Nothing even comes close.
George Lucas when people asked him what was the clone wars: You may not understand it yet... But your kids are gonna love it
"your kids are going to love it, but you certainly won't"
Crazy how he already had thought of the prequels before even starting the original trilogy.
I hope others get that other movie trilogy reference.
@@ChimpyChamp not sure why the old farts hate them. I know a lot of older people who loved them. They are perfectly accurate and tie everything together well. The CG was incredible for the era and I wouldn’t change a thing about them.
Clone Wars Animated Series is the best representation of the Prequels
Realizing The Clone Wars was mentioned in the first Star Wars movie.
cjxgraphics people must’ve been scratching their heads for a while wondering “da fuck is a *clone* war”
That's cause the story was written, the CGI was not capable at the time
Right. Don't remember that
@@osmacar5331 You mean Lucas picked a random sci fi word to slap in front of "Wars", then figured out what clones had to do with anything 20 years later.
@@nobodyspecial675 Exactly how did you come up with that assumption that it was "random"? Elaborate.
"anakin is gone... i am what remains"
I kinda like the idea that Obi-Wan's so traumatized by the events a small part of him even *believes* the lie, when he claims Vader killed Anakin. It's a way for him to avoid taking responsibility for turning Anakin into Vader -- which he never really does during the original trilogy. "What I told you was true, from a certain point of view" stops being a ridiculous gaslighting attempt against Luke but instead becomes a desperate justification to himself for having avoided confronting the truth for so long.
The way Alec Guinness acts it almost seems like this was made after the prequels and he was told to act like he was remembering these specific moments from them. Great actor.
Without Guinness the Original trilogy would've sucked.
Lucas had a rough lore written out, he probably gave alec a little background of what obi wans origin was. Still amazing acting for what little he had.
@@mulberry8882 I will concede Lucas had the Lore but Alec Guinness fixed a lot of things. Supposedly the script was a lot more awkward and chunky before. If you want to know the difference watch the painful dialogue in the prequel trilogy vs the original trilogy.
@@mulberry8882 ruclips.net/video/dhkrvs_b860/видео.html This sums it up.
Alec Guiness fought in WW2 so he actually might not be 100% acting like he's seen trauma well because he has.
“You fought in the clone wars?”
That line... that line created so much.
(Vietnam Flashbacks)
Lucas probably thought it was just a neat throwaway line. "What kind of war did his dad fight in? A Clone War? That sounds cool. Oh! The Clone WARS! That sounds even cooler." Dude probably didn't expect to spawn a whole damn 7 season cartoon.

I’ll never understand how Obi wan doesn’t remember R2-D2 or C-3PO. He only did missions with them like forever!
4:30 “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.”
Seriously, I did not sign the permission slip for this feels trip.
RenegadeRouser best comment of I've seen in a while😂
RenegadeRouser I came here to laugh not to feel
Roach Torres true
Roach Torres LoL
for real this made me tear up.
I love how when Obi-Wan says “Don’t seem to remember ever owning a droid”, he’s talking to R2, or it looks that way. It looks as though there’s that sarcastic subtext of, “You and I both know I didn’t own you, we both know who did”
Sad r4 noises.
then proceeds to say *"Very* interesting......." instead of telling Luke his daddy-o murdered every Jedi the clones didnt get to first :(
actually R2 doesn't remember Anakin because they deleted R2's memory
@@iikills6927 R2's memory wasn't wiped -- only C3PO's.
Passage of ownership is a little weird. R2 was a royal Naboo droid, but it's never explained how Anakin and Obi-Wan got ownership of him. I suspect Padme gave R2 to Anakin, but Obi-Wan likely became a co-owner given Anakin's age. With Anakin assumed dead on Mustafar and his wife dying in childbirth, either Obi-Wan and/or Leia would end up as R2. It all depends on laws and how droids are registered to their owner. It seems like merely possessing a droid doesn't automatically grant mastership similar to how the title to a car works. Regardless of the case, it's understandable to see how Obi-Wan might have been registered as R2's owner without knowing it. Or we might be looking into this too closely and that R2 is just lying, which possible given that R2 lied to Luke and C3P0 to trick Luke into removing the restraining bolt.
3:12 That question was hard for Obi-Wan
That was WAY better than I expected. Well done sir!
“You fought in the clone wars?” Isn’t it funny how one line can spawn three movies and cause the creation of the best cartoon of all time. That’s good writing for you folks
The imaginations of George and Dave were absolutely beautiful
Hate to be that guy, but Star Wars starting at episode IV means it's not just a coincidence he was going to introduce retrospective and references to the past. He 100% knew what the prequels would be about. I don't mean he had the script ready, not at all, but at least the major events and how things ended up the way they were.
@@marton8288 Mate, it was originally just called Star Wars on release. They added the "episode IV" later once he saw how big it got and wanted to make prequels. But I do agree that he probably had a vague story of how everything came to be in his head but that just emphasizes how much he planned and the number of subtleties in his writing hinting to the history.
@@marton8288 only the remastered versions have Episode 5 on the start
@@norbertvatai8698 that's not true!
Already when the Empire strikes back came out in 1980, it got the mention "episode 5" !
Even if it must have been confusing for the people at the time...
