ok i don’t think we acknowledged how crazy the line “all he’ll see is me” is. for us (the audience), we’re like yeah sure duh! bc we’ve seen the OT trilogy and heard vader say “kenobi is all that matters”—for us, it’s like of course all vader will see is obi-wan; he’s obsessed with the guy.
but obi-wan doesn’t know that. he just found out, like, yesterday, that anakin’s still alive, so he most certainly hasn’t heard about vader’s relentless quest to find and destroy him like sidious and all the other long-suffering imperial officers (yeah vader attacks him and reva mentions that he’s been looking for him for a while but like thats not indicative of an obsession, that’s just regular revenge stuff).
and yet obi-wan just…makes that assumption. that anakin is for sure definitely 100% obsessed with him to the point that he’ll let the rebel force threatening his empire escape without a second thought if he even catches a glimpse of obi wan.
that is an actual balls to the wall crazy assumption that no normal person would make about another normal person considering those two people haven’t interacted in a DECADE.
and still!! obi-wan is so confident in this assumption that he’s willing to bet the lives of innocent people—including the life of leia, his four closest friends’ joint child—on it, on the fact that “all he’ll see is me.”
ofc he’s right but how horrifically insane and sad and kinda beautiful is that?? that he knows him so well?? that they’re so connected even after all this time that obi wan knows anakin will feel the same about him as obi wan does about anakin bc all obi-wan sees is him, too?
