Star Wars\u2019 Disney Plus series Obi-Wan Kenobi ended with a bang, a crash and a lightsaber phwum as Ewan McGregor\u2019s former Jedi hero faced off once more with his ex-padawan Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen).<\/p>\n
And while there were plenty of big moments (and cameos<\/a>) in chapter six, one scene in particular will stand out to fans due to its emotional resonance\u2026and the fact that for some of them, it\u2019ll be oddly familiar.<\/p>\n Look away now if you haven\u2019t seen the Obi-Wan Kenobi. This is where the fun\u2026 and spoiler chat<\/strong>\u2026 begins.<\/p> After a bit of back and forth, some inspirational rock-moving and some pretty slick skills from the newly confident Obi-Wan, Vader ends up defeated by his old teacher. In the course of this, Obi-Wan slices off part of Vader\u2019s mask, revealing the disfigured face of Anakin to allow for an emotional t\u00eate-a-tete between the former friends (with Christensen\u2019s voice mixing with the modulated tones of Vader voice actor James Earl Jones).<\/p>\n There\u2019s no reconciliation possible \u2013 Anakin has fallen too far, and Obi-Wan eventually accepts that he\u2019s truly lost. It\u2019s a charged scene that sums up a lot about the pair\u2019s relationship, so it\u2019s no wonder fans are already taking to it.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s also a scene we\u2019ve seen before. Viewers have been quick to notice parallels between this mask-cutting convo and a similar sequence in popular animated series Star Wars Rebels, specifically the finale to season 2 in 2016.<\/p>\n Obi-Wan and Ahsoka are the only ones to get through to Anakin underneath I\u2019m gonna cry #obiwan<\/a> #darthvader<\/a> #ahsokatano<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1Uv3i98duJ<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Em \u2728 Kenobi spoilers (@padmedarksaber) June 22, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
