The coolest Star Wars pic ever

Behind a cut, in case anyone is a complete spoiler-phobe. IMO it doesn't give anything away. OMG. It's just for me. It's Anakin as Vader. Before The Helmet. And he is crying. Thank you George!

I think "he's got pecs!" every time I see my icon.

That's a bit more coherent than what I think.

I do agree with your write-up. And of course, Qui Gon was really much more openly warm and affectionate which is exactly what Anakin (who was not brought up in the Temple but with a very loving mother) needs. There is no doubt for the viewer that Obi Wan loves and cares for Anakin, but since he is very undemonstrative and "by the book" Anakin can't tell that.

I think Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship even started out wrong since Obi-Wan seemed to very much resent what he took to be Anakin's stealing his master's affections. Obi-Wan couldn't have been more than his early twenties at that point and obviously resented his father figure suddenly seeming to abandon him for a little boy.

Obi-Wan obviously cares a great deal for Anakin, he just doesn't know what to do with him.

Yup, yup, yup *nods head*

And of course it's perfectly understandable reaction on Obi Wan's part.

That's why the story is so interesting: everyone's reactions are perfectly natural and understandable but combined they lead to the fall of the Republic, and Darth Vader.
