plastron damage is peak raph design

oh i absolutely love this, especially the slow one, you're right, as obi-wan's secret devotion that he cannot say but only try to mask. it's fitting to how their bond transcends so many categories that it's impossible to describe without being reductive, like it's such a strong bond, too strong to be as unstable as it was, and doomed to rupture spectacularly. father, mother, brother, teacher, best friend, superior officer, rival, everything save lover in the text, but we the audience can use lover as a summation of all the rest. obi-wan just loves him, defines himself in relation to him, devotes his life to him and his children. we see it, and anakin doesn't, and that's their tragedy, like anakin never asked and obi-wan never offered the truth of who they were to each other, and yet they belonged to each other profoundly all the same. this is agonizing, thank you!!!
