After countless painful years of wondering what had happened to his old Master Obi-Wan Kenobi,
their fateful meetup finally happened aboard the first death star.
The two battled it out like they did all of those years ago, but this time, something had changed.
Vader could feel that Obi-Wan was not the Jedi he once was. He was weaker, more frail and almost
willing to leave the living force in favor of the cosmic force… Something Vader could never
Fathom doing… And then, something happened which terrified Vader to his core and left him haunted
for weeks after the Fight. So what happened? Remember to subscribe and let’s break it down.
For so many years after Anakin Skywalker was encased in to the metal suit and turned to the
machine known as Darth Vader, he had worried deeply about his next encounter with Obi-Wan,
should it ever come. Almost every waking moment of Vader’s life was split between three main things.
1. Finding the key to bring Padme back to life, 2. Delving deep into the Dark Side and serving
his master, and 3. Replaying the fight on Mustafar in his head, thinking of ways he could have beaten
Kenobi. He was just plain *Angry* that he managed to lose to Obi-Wan, when he knew he was a better
fighter. A more agile opponent who was more powerful than anyone could imagine. He was told
for years and years by the Jedi council, the other Jedi generals of the Clone Wars and pretty most
ominously, the chancellor himself, that he was the chosen one who would save the galaxy from any
threat that could come against it. This made the Sith Lord arrogant and confident in any encounter,
which ultimately led to his downfall on Mustafar, refusing to see that Obi-Wan had the high ground.
This played a part in his next encounter with Kenobi in the Obi-Wan show, but Vader wasn’t
fulfilled. The Dark side of the force was telling him that another duel would come sooner than
he might think… His years of preparation and mediation into the dark side of the force was
all preparing him for the final showdown with his once great master… But what would await him when
he eventually did get to that fight would shake Vader to his core… although he didn’t yet know it.
and that leads us onto the Battle aboard the Death Star. There was a very good reason that
Darth Vader held his sword at guard for so long, slowly poking away at Kenobi to get an idea of
how strong he might now be. As soon as the two locked their red and blue sabers for the fight,
all of Vader’s worry, concern and years of preparation melted away. The Dark lord
realized that he was far too powerful for the old wizard by now. Kenobi’s time had passed,
and Vader was ready to bask in Victory. The dark side rose inside of Vader and he used it to his
fullest potential to predict every single move of his old master, confident as he ever had been.
**Right after this though, things took a rapid turn. The two hear a distant voice calling out
to Obi-Wan from the outside dock of the battle station. Vader is filled with too
much pride and confidence to bother looking, but he notices his old master turns around and once
he sees the face of the person calling out, Luke Skywalker, a huge smile washes across his face.**
At that exact moment all of Vader’s pride, confidence and arrogance immediately melted away.
The Sith Lord was now worried. He believed he was falling victim to some kind of trick by Kenobi.
Regardless of this, the fight continued and Vader soon took the upper hand,
with Kenobi retreating back and pretty much just giving up, in Vader’s eyes.
**Seizing the opportunity to finally defeat his old master and put his legacy to and end,
Vader took a clean swing of his lightsaber, cutting Kenobi in half…** or so he thought.
Vader felt a rush of joy swim through his body, knowing that his Master would never be a threat
to him ever again. He had finally completed his Revenge for the horrible events on Mustafar.
The Dark side began to swell in Darth Vader, more strongly than it ever had before,
but as the minutes passed this joy and dark pride was replaced by dread. His
victory quickly turned to horror and fear. He soon noticed that his old master had not
been cut in half, but had completely disappeared, leaving only his old robe
The Dark Lord kept replaying the same events in his head over and over again in a panic,
wondering how this could be possible. Vader was so confused and shocked by this that he
even thought this could be some sort of Jedi mind trick or illusion by his old master,
one that Kenobi never taught him. Doing thousands of rapid calculations in his head,
Vader believed this was a trick only capable of being performed by the most powerful and skilled
Jedi Masters, and he soon realized that Obi-Wan must not have taught him everything her knew… Did
Obi-Wan hold back his most important and powerful teachings in the force? Of course he didn’t,
but this is exactly the way a Sith Lord like Darth Vader would think. As Vader left the scene of
the fight he remained horrified and worried, but there was nothing more he could do at this point.
Moving on to the the time where the Death STar was getting closer to the Yavin System,
Vader began to medidate on what may have happened in the fight with Kenobi. By doing this, he was
humbled by the force and forced to recognize that he underestimated it’s power and potential.
Vader’s dark side meditation eventually got so wild, that he convinced himself Kenobi’s
dissapearing trick was directly connected to Darth Plagueis, Sidious’ own master. He
believed that somehow Plagueis had in fact passed down the knowledge to cheat death,
and that somehow Obi-Wan gained a hold of these teachings. Well unfortunately for Vader,
those who pass into the cosmic force when their souls is aligned the dark side can only remain
in the physical world if they are attached to an object, or artefact of great importantce.
This was seen with the helmet of ancient Sith Lord Darth Momin. Despite having cracked the
key to immortality that so many Sith before him had tried to find, he wasn’t all that free to
utilize it. The spirit of momin was bound to his helmet for all of eternity, only ever able to
emerge when another living being summoned him out, like Vader did in the 2017 Vader comics.
Obviously what Darth Vader didn’t realize was that Qui-Gon Jinn, his old mentor from all of those
years ago had imparted the knowledge and wisdom to become a force ghost onto both Yoda and Obi-Wan.
Qui-Gon actually served as Yoda’s master while he was in exile on Dagobah for so many years.
Now in the weeks following this Vader basically went crazy. He was paranoid,
jumping at every little crash or bang and if he had any hear left, he would be ripping it all
out. Te Sith Lord was terrified that Obi-Wan would eventually return from this little Jedi
trick of his and come back to ambush Vader at the worst time. He was scared that kenobi wanted to
finish the Job he never could on Mustafar, even if it meant using the dirtiest of tricks. This
led him into a deep state of constant mediation inside of his chamber. He plunged himself so
deeply into the Dark side looking for answers, boosting all of his pain, anger and regrets.
Despite his best efforts the ghost of Obi-Wan remained with Darth Vader for almost every
minute of his painful existence. The very many who he believed took everything from him was
now waiting in the shadows, ready to pounce and take revenge for everything that had happened.
Although Vader was deeply wrong in thinking this, it was in line with the Sith way.
That is exactly what Darth Vader would do if it was him in that position.
The Sith use illusion, deception and trickery to defeat their opponents by any means necessary,
even if they are not taking the moral high ground. He couldn’t fathom that Obi-Wan simply transcended
into the cosmic force to rejoin with his Master qui gon jinn. The man who held the fate of the
Galaxy in his hands until his eventual defeat to Darth maul on Naboo in the phantom menace.
But either way let me know what you think about this Battle down in the comments below.
How would you feel if your long time former master showed up on your weapon of pure destruction
and then disappeared the moment you put your blade through him.
You can’t really blame vader for being horrified at what he saw.
