Oh, Right, THAT Guy
One thing that makes me laugh about this scene every. single. time. is that when Obi-Wan sends a message to Anakin here, he bothers to identify himself as OBI-WAN KENOBI, full name.
Really, Kenobi: how many pompous British OBI-WANS is Anakin likely to be getting messages with orders in them from?! Would he really not recognize OBI-WAN’S voice? When he might even be able to SEE HIM?! Maybe Anakin really is that slow to catch on in their holo-Skype calls, though.
Obi-Wan: Hi, Anakin, it’s Obi-Wan.
Anakin: [deeply confused] …who?!
Obi-Wan: You know: Obi-Wan Kenobi? From the Jedi Temple? I’m your Master? We live together? I have that wolfman hair? We see each other every single day?
Anakin: Ohh. THAT Obi-Wan.
the first time it happened, anakin was hung-over and exceptionally slow on uptake. then they both just keep doing it to fuck with each other
#but imagine#a super serious call in middle of clone wars campaign#super serious call from the council#and anakin’s automatically like “who? what obi wan?”#(he didn’t think)#(he just did)#everyone is staring at him increduously#and anakin can see the gleeful expression that crosses obi wan’s face#as he starts to intruduce himself in his best fake longsuffering manner (via ialreadyreadthatfanfic)
i was originally just going to queue this post as-is BUT WAIT NO I had a better idea:
star wars takes place in space, and space is infinite, and so while Anakin Skywalker may be the only Anakin at the Jedi temple, there are at least three other Obi-Wan’s. There was a newscaster near Stewjon who had that name when Obi-Wan was born. It’s in the top thousand most popular names for that region of space (which, when you consider how many trillions of people live there, means it’s still a very popular name.)
That’s not what bothers Kenobi, though. What bothers Obi-Wan is the droid.
OB-1 KENOOBEE, however, is a Jedi Temple droid. And you would not believe the number of times Obi-Wan has been woken up by someone trying to summon that piece of shit droid.
First thing he did on the Council was decommission the damn droid. It didn’t stop the calls.
(Mostly because Anakin kept fixing the damn thing.)
I also hereby accept this as canon, too.
I hope that the calls to the droid are like, not even calls from actual people. Instead, it’s some electronic transmission in robospeak that comes in and when he picks up the phone at 3am, kinda drunk, his hair askew, it’s like, BEEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR PZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTT SUPER LOUDLY, and then he’s like WHAT THE FUCK OH FFS IT’S ANOTHER CALL FOR THAT FUCKING DROID AGAIN and then he steps on something sharp on the floor and is hopping around on one foot while swearing, and then Anakin comes in the room and is like, “…everything OK, Master? It’s 3am you know, you should really get some sleep,” and Anakin’s got this smirk on his face because he KNOWS it’s a call for that droid he fixed again and Obi-Wan is like “JUST GO TO BED DAMN IT GOD WHY IS MY LIFE LIKE THIS WHY COULDN’T I HAVE BEEN THE ONE THAT GOT MAULED IN EPISODE 1.”
