I think we all need to stop and appreciate the fact that, at some point during Anakin’s apprenticeship, there was probably a moment when he and Obi-Wan looked at each other and realized at the exact same time that Anakin was taller than Obi-Wan.
And the funniest thing about this is that Obi-Wan isn’t actually that short. At 5′10″ (1.77m) he’s incredibly average height – slightly above average, actually. But his best friends are always freakishly tall
seriously
it’s a problem
poor boy
Don’t forget Bail Organa, he too is tol.
If Obi-Wan met Ahsoka again she would be taller than he is too (1.88 m.)
Somebody said height comparisons??????
Here, have some.
Side-by-side Obi-Wan and Ahsoka if they met in the Rebels era. She tol. He doesn’t look stoked about it.
(After much googling, I’ve determined that Ahsoka’s height does include her montrals.)
Also:
plus there’s
and we can’t forget…
In summary: obi wan never gets to be tol.
Oh my gosh you’ve made my post so much better
He’s a tiny ball of sass, fuelled by tea and Extra
Obi Wan: Nothing I suppose. It’s…. Perhaps we should set up camp. Sound like a plan?
Anakin: *sadly* Whatever you say, Master.
Later: Obi Wan watches Anakin make a fire. He’s concerned.
Obi Wan: Anakin. Dwelling on Ahsoka’s decision won’t bring her back.
Anakin: I miss her, okay? Is that what you wanted me to say? I still can’t understand how she could have left the Order.
Obi Wan: It was a surprise decision to all of us.
Anakin: It was wrong! She’s a Jedi. She belongs with us. She’s one of us.
Obi Wan: She made the decision, Anakin.
Anakin: *angry* Well what choice did we give her? The moment there were any suspicions about her loyalty the Council turned their back on her.
Obi Wan: I would grant you mistakes were made. But she chose to leave. Part of the Jedi way is not letting emotion cloud your better judgement. And that’s precisely what Ahsoka did. Even in her most critical moment.
Anakin: …
Obi Wan: Why don’t you get some rest?
Anakin: I’m not tired. You can rest, Master. I’ll keep first watch.
Obi Wan: Well then. I’ll accept your kind offer. *lays down on ground* You can’t take responsibility for Ahsoka’s decision, Anakin.
Anakin: How would you feel if I turned into a major disappointment?
Obi Wan: It’s not the same.
Anakin: It’s precisely the same. You took me under your wing and practically raised me. I’m your padawan. Just like Ahsoka was mine. How well would you sleep knowing I failed you?
Obi Wan: Not very well I imagine. Luckily that isn’t true. And never will be.
Oh, yes, this is what I’m here for, Obi-Wan immediately loses his shit when Anakin’s threatened, just instantly brings out the lightsaber and starts swinging it and then, WHAM, Anakin is taken over and Obi-Wan has to fight him and, oh, yes, give me more of this, give m– hey wait– what’s–
Why does that seem familiar….?
OH RIGHT
HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME THESE FEELINGS, I DON’T WANT THIS.
I DON’T CARE THAT IT WAS A DELIBERATE PLAN ON OBI-WAN’S PART, THAT IS NOT COOL, STAR WARS.
STOP MAKING OBI-WANT WITNESS THE DEATH OF HIS LOVED ONES AND KNEELING OVER THEM WHILE THE LIFE DRAINS OUT OF THEM. STOP. IT.
fireflyfish said: WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS WORSE?!?!
HERE, LET ME MAKE IT BETTER, this is the next panel, where, see! Anakin is just fine! And it was a ploy on their part to trick the evil mad scientist!
I mean, okay, still not cool giving me those feelings, making Obi-Wan have to go through the act of kneeling over yet another person he loved dying, especially this one, the one that’s the great love of his life, the one who defines him in so many ways, that the slightest wrong move here would get Anakin killed for real. STILL NOT COOL, but at least they fixed it, at least Anakin is oka–
