r/StarWars • u/VillainM Anakin Skywalker • Mar 23 '21

I’ve recently been made aware that a lot of younger Star Wars fans (understandably) aren’t aware that Sebastian Shaw was the original ghost of Anakin, and that Hayden was edited onto Sebastian’s body in 2004. So this is for those who might not know! Meta

I don’t see Obi wan being somebody who was attatched to the past. He seems like he’d be happy with the man he became late in life. Whereas we know anakin wasn’t too good with the whole letting go of the past thing to begin with, and likely wasn’t too happy with about 20 years worth of decisions he made at the end of his life. It makes sense he’d see this version as the last “good” version of himself.

Yeah having a direct hand in the murder of billions of people and his personal dismembering of elementary school kids probably influenced how happy he was with himself

I can understand this take on it, but for me personally it feels weird for someone to become one with the Force AND have a preferred self image at the same time.
