George Lucas wanted Toshiro Mifune to play Obi-Wan Kenobi (when he turned down the role, he was offered the part of Darth Vader), but Mifune didn’t want to be a part of a space movie, based on the cheesy effects seen in sci-fi movies at the time.
Also, IMDb trivia states that Keye Luke too was considered for the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. So, yeah, it does seem like Obi-Wan Kenobi was supposed to be Asian.
I will never get over the way Vader was checking if Obi Wan is really dead
“what the fu-what is this? How, what, this is not ok! So what, when I do it, he gets to fade out of thin air but when HE does it to me, I have to wear a walking iron lung for the rest of my life? I can’t pee without going through 5 layers of painful decontamination, and this motherfucker is just GONE???“
when you’ve waited decades for the most unsatisfying revenge in the galaxy
After all the shit obi wan has put up with anakin, he wouldn’t let him have the satisfaction.
Just to rub extra salt into the wound, Obi-wan even managed to drop his robe one last time.
#obi wan is so mentally and physically exhausted he doesn’t even care anymore#he’s like kiss each other idgaf#fuck each other on the floor#i’ve seen so many horrors today i don’t even care#i’ve been imprisoned sentenced to death by execution gladiator style#a shit ton of jedi died today#you guys wanna kiss each other i ain’t gonna stop you i don’t have the mental energy anymore#i try to tell anakin what to do but he does it anyway#anakin slow down#don’t go through the power couplings on coruscant#anakin goes through the power couplings and they get electrocuted#anakin chill out bro#anakin jumps out the speeder#obi wan’s like there’s no use anymore#i’m done#anidala (via @padmaynaberrie)
Look at that..
And so many people are like “how did Obi-Wan find out?” ummm…because he was right there. He knew but he let it go, the whole galaxy was changing, the clone wars started, Anakin was knighted, Obi-Wan had bigger things to worry about then Anakin’s attachment to Padme. Which honestly he had warned the council about when they first assigned Anakin to protect Padme but no one listened to him then.
Your father… was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and “became” Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true… from a certain point of view.
when rewatching TPM I was struck by the difference in Qui-Gon’s and Obi-Wan’s costumes. (I am a JA kid. I frequently think about/am struck by Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.) Obi-Wan: clean, pristine, every seam in place, a beige that’s nearly white. Qui-Gon: does it cover my body and not smell too bad? good enough.
