Jedi only make things worse.

#okay but something in me breaks because of WHO watched Obi-Wan break here#Because it’s Rex#Rex who chased after Anakin much like Obi-Wan always did#Rex who admittedly has a shit ton in common with Obi-Wan#Rex who sticks to what he was taught since he was spawned#Rex who still sometimes finds his morals and his beliefs strongly against what he was taught and tries to find a middle ground#Rex who knows he’s ‘just a clone’ but it doesn’t stop him from doing everything he can to help everyone he can#Rex has a lot in common with Obi and he KNOWS it#and he sees Obi-Wan withstand all sorts of torture in this arc#physical and mental of all forms#but you can see in Rex’s face that he realizes this is what truly broke him#what ultimately destroyed Obi-Wan was the Togruta telling him that ‘Jedi only make things worse’#because Obi-Wan is starting to believe it#this war all these dead and injured#he looks to Rex because he knows that all of the hardships the clones face are because of the Jedi#because they were MADE for the Jedi#and Obi-Wan was so Old Guard Obi-Wan is the one that everyone considered the perfect jedi the epitome of jedi#and here Obi-Wan thinks that Jedi is the worst thing he could possibly be because he knows all the faults of the Jedi
