Best Star Wars Character of All Time Series (Obi-Wan Kenobi Character Analysis) Part 4 Video Essay

[@KraziKazi]

Who is the greatest failure in Star Wars and why? Also Happy May the 4th Everyone, hope you're having a good one!

[@wisdommanari6701]

So happy you've uploaded I've been addicted to this series since I found it months ago. Please go in on Obi-Wan and may the 4th serve you well.

Darth Sidious is the greatest success and failure in Star Wars, because he spent decades with his iron patience, creating the perfect apprentice. Then, he did all he could to save him and make him even more powerful through his teachings, but after all, when he saw a new opportunity, he was willing to throw all these decades of Anakin's manipulation to obtain someone potentially more powerful. He, as the most powerful entity in the galaxy was more than capable to end Luke's life immediately, but he choose to play with him, and Vader's patience. He couldn't have survived in any way such a betrayal from Vader, yet he choose to eliminate this as a possible outcome. At the end, he forgot about every Sith master's destiny-betrayed and killed by their apprentices, more powerful than them-or not.

Can I call the Jedi as a whole a single character here? Talk about spectacular failures.

[@monopolyrubix1875]

Admiral Holdo is a failure of leader with no idea how to maintain order and unity in a time of crisis. She childishly berates and disrespects allies whom she considers beneath her, not understanding that doing so makes them lose respect for her and undermines her own authority. Her lack of transparency shows a lack of trust toward her crew, which in turn reduces their trust in her. All of this bites her in the ass when her crew completely loses faith in her and stages a mutiny. Her plan regarding the escape pods failed because she led her crew to believe that she didn't even have a plan at all. She didn't give them leadership and hope; she talked about hope while giving them confusion and despair. And then she's presented as a hero. An absolute failure and a terrible character.

[@gsw_music]

The Jedi Council was the greatest failure because they got complacent and handled Anakin poorly.

[@cameronmcfarrin4587]

I enjoy your analyzes. Another thing you could mention is that hiding and making moves in silence helped the sith and the jedi. While the sith hid out for thousands of years, they got more knowledgeable and waited for the jedi to become dogmatic. The jedi hid from the empire in the trilogy and didn't emerge until Luke was ready to begin down the path of being a jedi. Whereas Palpatine influenced Anakin to betray the jedi, Luke influenced Vadar to betray the sith. That balanced the force.

[@EricGraham94]

I’ll add onto this too when Obi-Wan yells “WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST!!” It’s when Yoda’s words really begin to sink in for him - that Anakin Skywalker truly has become consumed by Darth Vader. That’s why the next shot of these 2 legendary heroes of the Clone Wars meeting eye to eye as John Williams’ operatic and apocalyptic score crescendoes… is just tragic. Obi-Wan went through hell in an attempt to bring Anakin back to the light, but he failed. The only thing left to do for the sake of the galaxy is leave Anakin to the magmatic fires of Mustafar (almost in a way condemn him there)…

[@romaaeterna1378]

Thank you so much for making this Great content. It really is something special.

[@KraziKazi]

Thank you for the kind words, I just want to do these characters I love justice

[@EricGraham94]

Remember in Episode IV: A New Hope when Uncle Owen said to Luke "I don't think he [Obi-Wan] exists anymore. He died about same time as your father [Anakin]?" He wasn't wrong... Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi died on Mustafar; they might've physically survived the apocalyptic hell of the planet, but they re-emerged from the fire and lava as something different...

[@ItsFox]

Clone Wars makes Obi Wan feel like a character who has felt pain, His lesson was to move on in life.

[@nathanielmayfield5958]

Those who have not known pain will never understand true peace

[@coltonberry985]

This is why Obiwan is my favourite character in fiction.

[@joemcascio]

I enjoyed the Yoda video, but I would like to see broken-up chapters like you did with Palpatine and Obi-Wan. Excellent analyses across the board, keep it up!

[@dannysanchez1549]

great videos keep it up bro

[@KraziKazi]

Appreciate it friend

[@beaupierrebondurant5651]

The Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine (Darth Sidious),IS the Senate.

[@jmwilliamsart]

In hindsight Obi Wan shouldn’t have been so hard on Anakin, he should’ve tried listening and being more understanding towards Anakin. Also he should’ve showed Anakin more compassion, and given him an outlet for his feelings. He and the Jedi had indeed failed Anakin, he was wrong to force Anakin into that flawed Jedi mold. Padme, and later Luke were able to see the good that was still in Anakin, something that Obi Wan and Yoda couldn’t.

[@Loki-g3k]

Totally agreed.Obi-wan put two much faith in Jedi order.I don't think he didn't have compassion for anakin, if he trusted his own instincts things would turned out better. In AOTC obi-wan told Yoda and Windu that anakin needs much to learn and maybe he should change his strategy to train him but Jedi were blind by the chosen one prophecy that they forgot the most important fact that Anakin was just a human being with all his flaws and emotions.

[@jkdbuck7670]

The good news: you get to make more Obi Wan content!

[@scruffylookingnerfherder1983]

Obi wan’s story is by far the most harrowing

[@sevex9]

You said that Obi-wan left Anakin thinking that he killed him. I think that's the wrong way to look at it. It's another failure or mistake on Obi-wan's part. He could never bring himself to actually strike a killing blow on Anakin. Even as Anakin is suffering and being burned alive Obi-wan can't put him out of his misery. The best Obi-wan can do is *let him die.* Also I'm not so sure Obi-wan really took the high ground in order to trick Anakin. I think his appeal to Anakin to give up was sincere. True he may not have thought it would work but he tried and in this way it forther absolves/distances Obi-wan of the responsibility of killing Anakin. Not only does he think that he has the moral highground in the general sense, but he's desperately taking the moral high ground in the fight, preparing himself mentally to defeat or kill Anakin. Obi-wan being on the backfoot throughout the fight also indicates his reluctance, not just because it's the Jedi way. Obi-wan's mistake in not finishing off Anaking was a choice based emotion, which is of course associated with the dark side. It could be reasoned it was this choice which directly allowed for the creation of Vader.

[@jmwilliamsart]

Perhaps, but if he had delivered the final blow than Anakin wouldn’t have gone on to destroy Palpatine in episode 6 just like the prophecy said. So sparing Anakin was the correct decision in the long run.

[@beaupierrebondurant5651]

Without absolutes, there is no evil.

[@PatrickWentzell-jd9gq]

there was another suite Vader could have worn that Palpatine didn't allow he felt if Vader did not suffer much then his apprentice would turn against him because we know Sith will turn againat each other and it's rare few care about others .

[@PatrickWentzell-jd9gq]

If Luke's father wanted his son to have that blue lightsaber it would seem to indicate Anakin was struck down by a sith lord and before dying made the request to have the saber passed down but Obiwan told a different story of how Luke's father died yeah it doesn't quite fit .

[@jkdbuck7670]

Why didn't Obi Wan finish him off? Also, why didn't Vader let Luke cut the Emperor down? 2 big questions.

[@syzorst]

I wonder who's watching this because of the Obi Wan trailer?

[@BennysGamingAttic]

I hate that the clone wars gave clones brain chips. It makes it more tragic to have them turn on the Jedi knowingly. Palpatine was a master manipulator. It's not far fetched that he'd have brainwashed HIS army himself. Relying on technology... eh. It doesn't ruin the prequels for me, but I never thought it was needed

[@michaszkot4419]

A new video drops in - I will do what I must...

[@KraziKazi]

You will try...

[@user-px5cp8op8m]

Yesss

[@beaupierrebondurant5651]

Anakin would destroy the Sith,by joining them.

[@EricGraham94]

Anakin, in ROTJ, changes… BECAUSE he can’t change. He’s always operated off of emotion. It’s what drove him to join the dark side then eventually renounce it, making Anakin Skywalker one of - if not - the most human Star Wars character.

[@TheKeyser94]

I wouldn't call Anakin the love her life of Padme, they fling was doom to fail from the beginning, not only for their opposite ideologies, that Padme chose to ignore, but because Anakin not really love Padme, he want a replacement for his mother, even after she is killed, and Padme, as she say herself, want a life outside her duties to the Republic, so in other words, neither is being honest with each other, what Anakin has is an obsession, not love, and Padme is only using him to have life outside of being a Senator, she even admit that they are living a lie, but Anakin not want to hear it.

[@homeroeccher4621]

You have yo live it

[@Phoenix411th]

The Republic didn't betray the jedi It was the jedi that Is betrayed the Republic By trying to kill a elected official Palpatine was completely justified In executing order 66

[@brethilnen]

True!

[@Scrubermensch]

Kenobi is probably my least favorite star wars character ever, even below jar jar. Maybe a little above Han.

[@harperperri4649]

I agree he is so negative and literally be little anakin when anakin saves his life so many times. Worst of all he was really willing to leave R2 behind
