Mostly this is a series about The Sad and Tragic Life of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but this installment had some great characterization for Anakin. Generally I find him trifling and whiny, but there was some good writing in here that helped explain some of that. It’s a lot harder to write Anakin off when you’re reading through his thoughts and feelings. He’s still Star War’s mad evil dictator, but he was once just a kid who wanted to be loved by people who didn’t get him. If emo music existed in the galaxy, perhaps he wouldn’t have turned into a mad evil dictator.
Obi-Wan deals with his guilt of failing to save someone from falling while Anakin tries to understand how a son can forgive his father terrible crimes. Subtle, this is not.
Still fun.
