    Ya know this is a good point. Obi-Wan should have cried in the movie. Right after he made a leper out Anakin, he should have had a full on breakdown. Ugly tears and snot bubbles.

      Not saying you’re wrong, but sometimes when you lose someone important, you compartmentalize it so hard you’re basically denying to yourself that it happened. The ugly crying and breakdowns sometimes happen later, when it really sinks in.

      ? Obi-Wan cries for the whole exchange they have and then turns away before he collapses because his job isn’t done yet.

      @besmtt @NichEherVielleicht honestly what kind of psychopath wouldn’t cry like this after killing their brother and pupil who turned into a murderer because of a creepy old man? This is like peak drama and Obi wan doesn’t even give two fucks.

      Also, “I can’t watch him die, so I’ll let him burn to death instead”? Just end your bro’s agony you monster!
