So I want you all to know that just realized that I desperately need Vader either being forced to go through, or choosing to go through, Obi-Wan’s dorm room at the Jedi Temple before Sidious bulldozed the place and salted the earth it stood on, or turned it into condos or whatever he did (I don’t remember if they ever spell it out exactly).
THINK OF THE ANGST. THE PAIN. You KNOW Obi-Wan had holos of the two of them all happy and smiling. You KNOW he had a picture of them with Ahsoka on her birthday some year or whatever. You know he kept a nice note Anakin wrote him once, or saved a clipping from the Jedi Company Newsletter about Anakin’s knighting.
Make Vader go through Obi-Wan’s closet and see all his extra robes in there and have him TRY not to smile or cry remembering how his Master was always leaving robes everywhere. Make him quietly pocket the cologne that smells like Obi-Wan to take back to his bedroom in Dramatic Bullshit Manor on Mustafar.
I WANT THAT IDIOT TO HAVE TO LOOK AT IT ALL AND FEEL WAYS ABOUT THINGS.
AND HIS BEARD TRIMMER.
YES. And Obi-Wan’s little tin of tea and his favorite cup (the one he wouldn’t dare bring on missions for fear it would get broken.) Canon says Obi-Wan made furniture and children’s toys and ceramics, so maybe he had a few little projects laying around.
I also dearly hope Vader stumbled across some letter that Obi-Wan had started writing him full of his deep personal feelings for Anakin, and how happy they could be together once the war was finally over, and NOW VADER HAS TO THINK ABOUT IT FOREVER.
Wait wait wait…so Obes was a space-carpenter?!? And made pottery?!? I mean, I knew he made toys for Luke on Tatooine but I thought that was a hobby he picked up as a sad space-hermit
What the heck? Where is the fanfic based off of these details??? I neeeed it
That all comes from From a Certain Point of View – Yoda has a pot that Obi-Wan made at some point (as a kid? as an adult? no idea) in his hut on Dagobah, and in the Obi-Wan short story in there it mentions that he made himself a chair for his house (and of course, the toys for Luke.) It’s possible that he didn’t know how to make either of those things until he’d spent a year or two crying about Anakin in the desert and needed a distraction, though. Either way, the fact remains: he is a man of many talents, our Obes.
