if you would join us hey guys hope you're having a good day so far today so
today's video we're gonna go over anakin blaming obi-wan for holding him back now
we all saw this in Episode two it was right after he killed the sand people on
Tatooine after you know they kidnapped and tortured and killed his mother he
ends up blaming obi-wan for holding him back but in the novelization it goes so
much more into depth on everything that he actually thought regarding this
statement so here it is I'll be the most powerful Jedi ever he railed on I
promise you I will even learn to stop people from dying Anakin it's all OB
ones fault he stormed across the room and slammed
his fist into the workbench again nearly dislodging the plate of food he put me
out of the way to guard me she said quietly I should have been out with him
hunting the assassins I'd have had them a long time ago and would have gotten
here in time and my mother would still be alive
you can't know he's jealous of me and it can rambled on paying no attention to
her at all he wasn't talking to her she realized but was just playing it all out
verbally for himself she could hardly believe what she was hearing he put me
out of the way because he knows that I'm already more powerful than he is he's
holding me back he finished by picking up his wrench and
throwing it across the garage where it smashed against a far wall and clattered
down among some spare parts Anakin what's wrong she cried at him her
volume and tone finally got to his attention I just told you know Padme
yelled back at him know what's really wrong Anakin stared at her and she knew
that she was on to something so what I find interesting here is that this is
one of the first times a tank and verbally explains and admits that
obi-wan was the reason that his mother died now obviously obi-wan wasn't really
the reason it was the sandpeople but we can see where Anakin's mind is at
this point and how he holds some resentment already towards obi-wan
because of this now in Anakin's defense he's just frustrated he's going through
a traumatic experience where he just saw his mother being tortured and I mean
died in front of him in his arms and killed an entire village of children and
men and women he's going to say some weird stuff but it also holds true that
if obi-wan didn't hold him back so much and it can would have been able to save
his mother most probably and in the beginning of attack the clones he was
telling obi-wan that he had these visions and these dreams of his mother
and obi-wan was just warding them off and saying you know ignore them whatever
your thoughts betray you to be mindful of the force
now I 100% believe that obi-wan is the reason that Anakin turned to the dark
side and if qui-gon had survived then Anakin wouldn't have turned to the dark
side because I believe their philosophies were completely different I
think obi-wan was saying hey here's a kid with so much power let's try to dial
that power down and let's make him learn how to tame that power and control it
whereas qui-gon would allow the force to do its thing and let any can just become
as powerful as he can while still controlling his abilities but not to
hold him back and make him if anything weaker and slowed him down now there are
so many times in the comics and the books and even in the movies where
obi-wan is telling Anakin to slow down and to think now I agree Anakin is very
brash and he just kind of does things without thinking them through but his
ability in the force is unmatched is unparalleled next to anyone else he has
more potential than anyone in the entire Jedi Order but it was because they were
constantly dumbing him down and telling him to control his abilities and slowing
them down that it was really what caused his aggression and anger in the end you
know all of this from obi-wan you know telling him not to believe in these
visions about his mother which well turned out to be true and that's
partially why he ended up turning to the dark side because he had visions of
Padme and he felt well okay I'm not gonna let this happen again with you
know my mother died and now Padme is gonna die so I'm gonna take matters into
my own hands the first time I listened to the Jedi and I didn't trust my
feelings and this time I'm not gonna make that same mistake so then when he
gets denied the rank of Master by mace Windu which would have allowed him
access to the restricted section in the archives he was unbelievably insulted
and angry and this is why he took matters into his own hands at that point
and turned to the dark side and did what needed to be done so I think this
excerpt is really cool and interesting in the sense that it really allows you
to see where Anakin's headspace was at at this point and then it was really his
true feelings that were coming out right after the trauma
experience so these were probably emotions and thoughts he had harbored
for a long time in his mind and now that all of his emotions were rampant and
just full of rage he was letting it all out and we can see that he did indeed
blame ob1 for his mother's death this at least would have wedged a lot of issues
between him and obi-wan at least secretly in his mind up until he's
turned to the dark side I hope you guys enjoyed this video
have an awesome rest of the day and I'll see you in the next one until then
remember the force will be with you always
you
