So I’m sure we all remember “deception”, where the Jedi Council hatches a plot to keep the Chancellor safe by having Obi Wan ‘die’ and then go undercover in jail
And we all know how anakin reacted to his death
But can we talk about Ahsoka
She watched him fall
She told Anakin to keep running after the ‘assassin’, that she would make sure Obi Wan was okay. Yes, he fell off a building, and was shot in the shoulder, but he had survived worse, right? Don’t worry Anakin, I know he’s fine,
Keep in mind that Ahsoka is still a teen, and Obi Wan has been one of the people she looked up to, almost like an older brother/uncle figure.
Now keep in mind that Ahsoka had to find him ‘dead’. Do you think she said some snarky remark about “What would you boys do without me?” as she knelt down to offer him a hand? Did her face fall after he didn’t stir, didn’t answer her ever hesitant “Master..?”
He’s on her lap, which means she probably fell to her knees once the realization hit her, cradling him as if she would hurt him otherwise.
and then Anakin comes back, obviously concerned for Obi Wan, but I’d take a guess that he never thought that his old master would die.
and it’s Ahsoka who has to break the news
she’s crying
look at how much wasted potential there was for the obi wan x ahsoka friendship
