Ahsoka broke open the right side of his mask, Obi-Wan broke open the left side. Both couldn't bring Anakin back, but Luke was able to completely take his mask off, bringing him back to the light. Very poetic.

"I'm sorry Anakin, for all of it" This...this is where the men cry

The ability Hayden has to bring pure rage into Vaders eyes and face is impeccable

I'm truly grateful Kenobi showed Anakin how much he cared about him one final time. Even after everything he had done... As soon as Kenobi's eyes welled with tears I started bawling like a baby.

Dude.. I cried when Obi wan told Anakin he was sorry for everything

they inadvertently gave eachother exactly what they needed. Obi wan could accept Anakins fall wasn't his fault and Vader was given a rare moment of sympathy

What some fans may not realize is Obi-wan was not using his normal defensive style of lightsaber combat He switched back to Ataru the style his old master was teaching him

I feel like Vader telling Obi-Wan that he didn't kill Anakin, but Vader himself did, is the closest thing to kindness that Darth Vader is capable of now... whereas before he used Obi-Wan's regret and sorrow as weapons against him, à la "I am what you made me", he now finally allows Obi-Wan to let go of the guilt of having failed his best friend. Obi-Wan did everything he could for him, but Anakin's choices made it impossible to save him... and deep down, Vader knows it. It was never Obi-Wan's fault. A twisted, harrowing, yet somehow still touching moment. 🖤

The moment Kenobi looked at Anakin what he made what he is, made us shed a lot of tears

That Scream by Vader When he calls Obi Wan Is definition of His Hatred to Kenobi.

That line "You didn't kill Anakin, I did" I really FELT Obi-wan's explanation from episode 4 on how Vader killed Anakin. Before it just felt like Obi-wan's clever play on words or turning of phrase about explaining the matter without really explaining it. But I finally FELT IT when Vader said it, I understood.

Now we finally know what Vader meant when he said “When I left you I was but the learner…” But Obi Wan was always the master, even at the very end. Vader just couldn’t see it until Kenobi force ghosted and showed him one last time

It's amazing how all are excited/happy to see Vader's unmasked face, and then all changes to total sadness.

*"You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I DID"* with his grim smile. It makes me feel scary and sad at the same time.

The cinematography and acting from Ewan and Hayden was just *chef’s kiss*. Such a great finale. Im happy if it ends here. It was a great closure for Obi and Ani.

When Obi-Wan said "Goodbye, Darth," he finally acknowledge that Anakin is finally dead.

"You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker...I did." "He betrayed and murdered your father." We've come full circle.

God that scene where Anakin's face is showing and you hear Hayden's voice mixed with James'... I can't imagine any fan of the prequels not getting chills at the very LEAST

Vader saying "you didn't kill Anakin Skywalker... I DID" really shows that he has fully in trenched himself into the Darth Vader personality, that even tho that slight bit of anakin was still there Vader's hold over it was just too strong

That final yell of rage… there’s also a sense of great sadness; he’s not only screaming out of hate, he’s screaming in hope of the impossible chance that Kenobi would come back, instead of leave him again. That despite his horrific actions, he could be forgiven. There’s a tiny bit of hope that he stuffed deep into his mind that t they could work things out, that he wouldn’t be abandoned again. That hope died with that scream. That tiny bit of Anakin died with that scream. Now the only bit of humanity left in his black heart was for his son.

“I’m sorry Anakin. For all of it.” Ripped my heart out too.

Ewan and Hayden in that scene might be the best acting in all of Star Wars. I was bawling like a baby

Totally understood why this fight played out like this. Makes total sense why Vader and Kenobi's final encounter was totally opposite. The reality is, Vader was terrified of Kenobi.

7:58 - We all felt that bro. That hit HARD! 😢 *"You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you."*

Obi-Wan saying sorry, is essentially Obi-Wan begging to have his friend back. This line really helps us understand how much he misses Anakin.

the pain and suffering of Anakin Skywalker. Hayden Christensen truly amazing. Ewan McGregor perfectly potray his role. man it was top teir

Meanwhile in Episode 4: Darth Vader: Hey, Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan: Yes? Darth Vader: Remember the last two fights we had with all the rocks and jumping and cool stuff? Obi-Wan: Yes. Darth Vader: ....we got so old. Obi-Wan: Word.

And to think, there are mfs out there that really went “Damn this is ass” after watching arguably one of the best scenes/duels in Star Wars history/ever.

I think this is the first time we’ve seen Vader get genuinely f***ed in a live action duel. I’m not counting episode 6 since Vader didn’t start losing until luke got mad.

You have to love how they deliberately mixed Anakin's raspy voice with his mechanical one as he talks to Obi-Wan. The mixture of the two voices along with the crazed look on his former apprentices face probably reminded Obi-Wan of the gravity of his failure as a teacher to Anakin even though it's all Anakin's choice.

I love the scene when the blue light is on Vaders face, Anakin is very much still there.. holding himself back. Everything that Anakin stood for and and represented were destroyed the night he became "Vader", he was left with the side of himself that he felt was irredeemable, memories of failures/loss. All the things that Anakin stood for and and represented were destroyed by "Vader" not Obi-Wan. Because he is "Irredeemable" he can't come back and is clearly twisted. Anakin came back to tell Obi-Wan it wasn't his fault.

34:35 the look on the young lady's face when Darth Vader says "Anakin's gone."... that is the power of a great script and acting. Her heart is actually breaking in that moment... beautiful, human moment of art and emotion...

Ewan and Hayden brought their fucking A game to this scene. My childhood 😭😂😂

Hayden hasn't lost his touch with his glare

When Vader says “I’m not your failure” he’s responding to when Obi-Wan said I have failed you Anakin I have failed you. In the final scene of revenge of the sith

Oh the Irony 😩 his eyes are blue when he says “Anakin is gone” but that is literally Anakin talking. he literally has to coach himself back into Vader, that’s what we see when we see his Sith eyes become slowly more pronounced until he becomes fully sadistic and starts smiling when he sees he’s breaking Kenobi’s heart all over again. I think he fought that whole fight conflicted/emotional AF and that’s why he lost

There will never be a more emotional moment that will compare to this. Never

I felt a chill when Vader said “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker…I did” and that’s where Obi-Wan got the “Darth Vader betrayed the Jedi and murdered your father “ line.

vader screaming “OBI WAN!!!!!!!” is fucking scary for some reason

I do love how the "I will do what I must" at the start of the fight has an almost Sir Alec Guiness tone to it

Anakin was truly the chosen one, he lived up to the prophecy and killed the emperor. Was brought back to the light by Luke.

The look of Anakin with the half helmet in the red light is one of the greatest shots I've ever seen. They nailed that.

"If he cuts his mask open, I'm gonna freak!" Trust me, I think we all did. I actually screamed.

Seeing Hayden’s face under the mask and his voice is heartbreaking

Anakin finally having the one moment of clarity to acknowledge that he is the way he is now by his own making. The last cryout's he give to Obi-Wan as if he wants him to finish him off right there. Obi-Wan is the only thing in existence he could dump all of his hatred and self-loathing onto other than himself, but it still would never be enough. The anger and anguish in his voice for his last cryout as if almost begging to be done with.

I got to say Anakin Skywalkers story is one of the most sad stories in the franchise and even though he turned it makes you feel sorry for him because he's so blinded by hate and anger I truly believe that he could have been one of the best Jedi ever to walk the planet but he never realized his potential because he was blinded

I think my favorite part of the fight was how Vader was forced to use both hands to fight instead of going one handed like he always does. Just shows how much of a threat Obi-Wan is to him.

When Vader said ‘Anakin is gone, I’am what remains’ I lost it. Then came the apology from Kenobi. Onions were growing in my room at that point.

8:00 now those are some true friends the fact that he made sure his friend was ok when he seen him crying was so freaking wholesome.

When Vader sunk the ground beneath Obi Wan I was so waiting for Vader to say the "I have the high ground" back at Obi Wan... This whole episode was revenge of the Sith level and actually had me sobbing. Premo

The dialogues between Obi Wan & Darth Vader about Anakin Skywalker was so powerful & emotional ! I literally cried my A** off!! 🥲 ………………….Them seeing each other face for last time was heartbreaking. Obi Wan guilt face expression, omg!😢. And Darth Vader yelling of “OBI-WAN!!!!”, that was seriously pure true hatred from Darth to Obi-Wan.

For Ewin McGregor to go from Black Mask to Obi Wan is crazy. Such a talented actor.

Every time Hayden yells it breaks our hearts. Him and Ewan McGregor are phenomenal actors

This episode was a love letter to us prequel fans. I cried.

I like how Obi-wan never calls anakin Vader - as if he wouldnt accept his sith name - he speaks to him only by his sith title Darth. This goes all the way to New Hope.

I love how the voice goes from Anakin to Vader. As if slowly transitioning. When Anakin says “I am not your failure” as himself and then the “Obi-Wan” in his mechanical voice, it’s like the transition is going on, only to be completed at the final yell.

We all know we started to almost or actually cried when obiwan said "I'm sorry anakin, for all of it" if ya didn't feel anything from that then you're no true star wars fan from movies 1-6

Amazing scene, I don't know how many times I've re-watched it. So sad and tragic, their acting was off the charts.

This ending was amazing. I love how everyone goes from "woooow" and whopping and loving it to just....silence and tears. God this was well made.

34:08 Oscar worthy performance except for the lack of tears

Obi Wan went from the negotiator to the "you want to challenge my belief in the force" real quick.

One of the most emotional scenes in all of SWs...Hayden and Ewan are incredible

The progress Obi Wan has made im 6 episodes, from a broken man to this… incredible.

Skills over Rage. "Much more you have to learn, Padawan." The Dark Force Rage Shout was a good ending scene.

An interesting thing I noted while watching the show in therm of symbolism. It's all about why the Imperial March was only played in the end. Basically what we are seeing is the final transition between Anakin and Vader, the complete fall. We can especially see symbolic elements during the last two duels between the two, the first where Vader burns Obi-Wan like he was burned on Mustafar and the second where he literally buries his past symbolic self by burying his old master. We see again that shifting duality and death in the scene where the mask is cut through and we see Anakin's face under the mask, the slice in it symbolizing the divide of the man at that moment. The blue light mirrors the last dying embers of the man giving peace to Obi-Wan by telling him basically that it isn't his fault, then the light shift to red and we see the absolute death of the hero, and only rage and Vader remains. Same with his voice, turning back to a more Anakin-like version, where he is more present than the voice modulator in tones, but the shift as he yells "Obi-Wan" twice, first less modulated toward Vader's machinelike sound and finally nearly all machine and warth. This is why the Imperial March only plays at the end, because during the rest of the show, there was still a part of Anakin in his actions, culminating with him fully assuming the role of Vader and forsaking Obi-Wan completely for Palpatine. I bet I missed elements, the symbolism of those scenes is INSANE.

Never thought Star Wars could make grown man cries 😭

I think what's most heart breaking about it is that after Obi-Wan damaged the mask Darth sounded more like an injured Anakin than Darth Vader. Then he basically absolves Obi-Wan of the guilt for Anakin turning to the dark side.

the bit were Obi Wan really fucks up Anakin till his breathing becomes laborious and wheezy was very much like when Luke was laying into him in ROTJ. It made me emotional for some reason.

The 7:40 reaction got me right in the feels, reminds me of how it was watching the episode for the first time. You're cheering and wanting the fight to end with vader getting his mask broken. But when it happens, you don't feel like there's a victory. You feel just as sorry as obi wan does. Maybe more?

I won’t ever understand why people thought Vader would win. Clearly Anakin remained until his conversation with Kenobi. It wasn’t until then that Vader truly buried Anakin deep inside and let go of his obsession with Kenobi. Now he truly can become Darth Vader.

I teared up when Obi Wan said the "I'm sorry, for all of it" line. It seems like Anakin was back for a brief moment when he told Obi Wan he was not his failure. But then Vader had to come back almost right away.

this has got to be one of the most tragic fights in all of star wars, it hurt so much knowing what they've been through together and how close they were

A part of me will believe there was a tiny piece of Anakin left & purposefully freed Obi-Wan (his brother) from his pain by taking responsibility for his “death”

When you think about it, Anakin was never really able to defeat Obi-Wan, regardless of him either being a jedi / padawan back then up until him being with the Dark side.

The "Im Sorry" was so genuine. Like when someone was so speechless with horror or shock or straight up heartbreak they cant think of anything truly to say. I was fine until i heard him say that in the show. Then my eyes just watered instantly.

7:58...this scene broke that dude down! Lol! He was really crying hard!

You.... Didn't kill.... Anakin.... Skywalker.... *I DID.* 🔴♠️🔴

Even in victory, Obi-wan chooses the way of the Jedi... sparing his defeated opponent with the knowledge that leaving at that moment will just make Vader want to chase him all the more, and keep him distracted from other survivors. It's not a perfect solution, but it's the Jedi path; to protect life, not to take it... after all, Anakin is apparently already dead. If he had killed him, Anakin would never have had the chance to be saved by Luke, while the Emperor might have simply replaced him with one of his many back-up enforcers. Even when the playing field is level, Obi-Wan Kenobi has the high ground. 😔

I wonder if a part of Anakin/Vader wanted his former master to end it once and for all instead of just leaving him there in pieces again.

4:55 - "...uhnkay" - best reaction Ive ever heard

Honestly when Vader starts to loose the fight I felt sorry for him especially during Obi Wan's cut to his back and his fall to the ground.

When Anakin says: im not your failure, you didnt kill Anakin😭😭, you know that was 100% Anakin trying to relieve the guilt from Obi-Wan. This battle was epic!

The most heartbreaking is when you hear one sentence “I’m not your failure, Obi-wan” and it sounds more like Hayden/Anakin than Darth Vader in that moment than others. That being said just being able to hear Hayden/Anakin or what remains of his voice was just so awesome with all the distortion!

When he said anakin I lost it. This scene is so heartbreaking.

To be honest I kinda understand why Darth Vader didn't say "I have the high ground." And that's because that would've been coming from Anakin and not Vader. The more and more I watch this fight the more understanding I have of why he didn't say it cause don't get me wrong I wanted him to say it too. But yeah just thought I'd put that out there.

8:26 i love how they joking around about rocks and than the next second they cry haha.

Ewan McGreggor's performance is amazing.

Ngl I had chills because of how you can hear anakin and Vaders voice as he talks with the mask half off

You see a hint of a smile when Vader says he killed Anakin. Maybe its just me, but I feel like I can see a hint of Pennywise from It in that smile. A perfect display of the twisted evil under the mask.

14:19 It’s over Obi-Wan. I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!

Hayden Christensen's "OBI WAAAN!" in the end hits the feels 🔥🔥🔥

Obi Wan used Anakins moves against Vader, Showing that the master can learn from the apprentice while also showing how different Vader and Anakin truly are.

Waited years to see them slug it out, and as much as I'm more of an Empire guy seeing Kenobi bring an ass whooping was epic. The saber changing colour , the epic feel of the duel, the hurt in Kenobis eyes. Brilliant, epic scene. Series was a slow build at first but bloody hell that was awesome.

One of the most emotional scenes in SWs...the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker...

I love how ever single fight between Vader and Kenobi ends in absolute frustration for Vader.

When he says "I am not your failure, Obi-Wan." That's Anakin forgiving Obi Wan because that's the last bit of Anakin that's left. He gave one final cry out before the darkness took over.

I'm a grown man, I'm well into my 40's but last night I was balling like a baby over this

That's scene when they talk to each other get me into tears all the time I watch it. Can't stop tearing because they went through so much together 😢.

The fact that we know Obi survives and they still managed to keep the fight tense and hair raising is amazing.

Can we take a moment to wonder what the grand inquisitor was thinking after picking Vader up knowing Vader could f him up.
