#i still cant believe this show is real guys

listen, there are some moments from legends that you read and you think, wow that is very dumb and silly and i love star wars but wow i’m glad this is a book and not on screen, and then there are some other moments from legends that you read and you think, i would give literally anything to see this filmed.

for me, obi-wan discovering that anakin was still alive was always the pinnacle of the second type. i wanted so very, very badly to see it. i wanted to know how ewan would deliver that performance, the dawning light of understanding in his eyes, just what it looked like when the world as he understood it was destroyed again.

i’m so happy that they decided to bring that moment from legends into canon and put it up on screen in the way that they did. we got to see the devastating, cascading realization and looming horror in his eyes and it was perfect, and then got to hear him say his name, and yeah i’ll need several business days to recover from that, thanks!
