But it doesn't negate just how much she loves her closed ones. Is it hidden behind professionalism and a stern *big sister* demeanour ? Sure. Honestly what's wrong with y'all people ? Anyway Nor does any of the "Words of Affirmation" peeps. I would say look at Ruby but even she doesn't talk about her bad vibes. Winter Schnee ! TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS PEOPLE ! Just. I’ve seen people theorize that the reason Will survived in the UD that long was intentional planning by Vecna, that that’s how he was given ‘powers’ or whatever psychic connection the two have, so to me it feels natural that he would have to dive back into the whole beginning of it.Īnd today in the "emotionally unavailable" category we have. Does it mean that Will actually holds the power to turn back the clock, to undo or weaken Vecna’s force? I imagine he’s going to have to enter the UD, whether physically or mentally, and face Vecna, and I wonder if he’s going to do so by retracing his S1 steps, and through that process we’ll get the reveal/explanation for the time thing. That, coupled with the fact that the Duffles have said S5 is going to be fairly Will-centric, or at least his arc will be addressed in a full-circle way (paraphrasing, but that’s what I took from it), has my head spinning with theories, which at this point are just questions kdsjs. Honestly I haven’t Processed S4 enough to wrap my head around S5 theories, but the one thing that’s really been stuck in my brain is the whole time piece, specifically how we learned the UD is stuck on the day Will went missing. For me, though, I don’t think I could do it and so I resonate with that explanation most strongly. Whatever reason, whether because Obi-Wan couldn’t do it, because Anakin didn’t want it, because he left it up to the Force, because he didn’t have time, or even if someone thinks he wanted Anakin to suffer or whatever I guess (?), there’s options to go with. Therefore, Obi-Wan doing it anyway, would rather feel like murdering a helpless man who did not want to die, and it wasn’t Obi-Wan’s choice to make. So much of Vader’s “walking nightmare black hole of depression who wants so badly to die already” doesn’t come until after he realizes what Mustafar cost him, so while on those shores, I can believe that it’s possible he wouldn’t have wanted Obi-Wan to kill him. The Revenge of the Sith novelization says that Obi-Wan knew Palpatine was coming and he didn’t have time for mercy, and ultimately he would make the only choice he could: He would leave it to the Force, because he was a Jedi and would not murder a helpless man.Īnd I think it’s a reasonable assumption that Anakin survived based on pure rage and hate, that he didn’t want to be mercy killed on those shores. I think it’s also fair to say that Obi-Wan knew that he didn’t have much time or to say that Obi-Wan left it in the hands of the Force, that he was willing to walk away because he had tried and tried to save Anakin, even at the last moment when he warned Anakin not to try that jump that cost him his limbs. I look at Obi-Wan’s face and the pain he feels at what Anakin has done and I can so easily imagine that I don’t think I could do it in Obi-Wan’s position. And so I’m not going to judge Obi-Wan too harshly for something that I’m not sure I could do. Even with a lifetime of training for it, I don’t know that I could take those last steps.

Thank you for the kind words! There’s no concrete answer for this in the movies themselves or from GL as the author of the movie and I suspect we all kind of have to squint and understand that the real answer is, “Because Anakin had to survive somehow, because we have to get to the original trilogy.”īut, for me, I’ve always thought of it like this: When I think of the people I love the most in the world, the ones I’m not sure I can always be rational about, if they had done what Anakin had done, yet I still loved them, could I strike the killing blow? Could I make myself cross the lava banks and make myself snuff out the person I loved so much, even knowing that it had to be done, even knowing that I couldn’t save them anymore?
