Least they could've done was have the Inquisitor and Stormtroopers all descending down. Do something like Yoda vs Palpatine from Ep3 where Yoda only had a finite amount of time to get Palpatine before he summons help.
Fricking prequels. If you can't figure out a clever way out of it, don't write it.
It's kinda funny when you think about it. Leia would eventually give birth to Ben Solo who goes onto kill 10 times as many people as Vader, so the best thing Kenobi could have done is kill Leia.
I mean overall it is the moronic Jedi teachings. Mando showed Luke that separating being a Jedi and love will eventually cause them to be corrupted by the dark side. Yet he failed not only once but twice.
It's a big no-no for a Jedi to execute a defeated but helpless opponent. It's a bit silly but it is at least consistant with what Anakin said at the start of Revenge of the Sith ('I shouldn't have done that, it's not the Jedi way...'). Can't really blame them for consistency.
Obiwan cared more about bringing order to the force than countless lives. It has always been, they're a cultist organization which did the same shit the empire was doing just sugar coated to make them seem virtuous. At the end of the day the 'chosen one' was supposed to bring order even if that order would only last a few years and cost countless lives.
Obi-Wan doesn't execute defeated opponents. He leaves everything to the Force and trusts it'll all work out. The end of the series is very much him getting his faith back after ten years of misery, finally putting his past behind him. It's kinda nice
>He leaves everything to the Force and trusts it'll all work out
How many Jedi and other innocents did Vader kill after the first time he trusted it would all work out? How many the second time? Him leaving Anakin alive (instead of being unable to finish the job for some reason) was his worst character moment in the PT, and now we've repeated it with even less reason.
He didn't kill Anakin because he was too distraught from the situation to on top of that walk up and kill Anakin (kind of weak justification though but I still think it works.)
Because he saw the good in him, he just didn't realize it the way Luke does later. Anakin basically tells Obi-Wan that it's not his fault, so how can Obi-Wan kill him at that point? It's not the Jedi way to kill a beaten prisoner, even Anakin knew that. He couldn't kill his friend on Mustafar, he couldn't kill him on whatever this planet was, and he went to the Death Star with zero intention of trying to in the end. He always wanted to believe there was another way. Yoda wanted Vader dead, not Obi-Wan.
>Yoda wanted Vader dead, not Obi-Wan.
No, Obi Wan also wanted Vader dead and when Luke told him he wouldn't do it he says "then the emperor has already won." However at this point him leaving him to live this second time makes sense if you take into account Padme told him with her dying breath there's till good in him. But by a new hope he's old and has grown out of his young idealism, has watched Vader hunt Jedi and terrorize for another 9 years and then he stood by while a planet was destroyed.
How to end this scene: Obi Wan raises his lightsaber to kill him but then gets flashbacks of Anakin, then says to him "I can't kill my friend. Goodbye Anakin."

>Millions of people died because of him
Not defending the show, it is legitimately one of the worst things I have ever seen and I am not being hyperbolic, and Obi-Wan had no good reason not to kill Vader in that moment, none whatsoever, BUT... Technically I don't think this statement is true. Vader goes on to kill a lot of people, but it's not like he's in charge of anything. The Empire would have been fine without him. In fact, there's no way Obi-Wan could have anticipated this so it doesn't justify the bad writing, but if he killed Vader the Empire would probably have won in the long run. Luke wouldn't have been able to stop Palpatine on his own. He never would have had a reason to get close enough, and even when he does so in ROTJ, Palpatine clearly had the upper hand and would have killed him if Vader had not intervened.
lazy writing

Starkiller Base was such a stupid idea
it was Luke who created Kylo Ren.
It's funny that one of the worst ~80 years in the history of the galaxy can be attributed to one family.

Yeah it feels moronic
Hmm, totally unrealistic
Not canon
>that zoomer in every thread who acts like anyone with a brain considers non-Lucas Disney shit canon
You can’t just kill your enemies.
because Anakin killed Anakin
Weren't you paying attention moron?
Jesus what an awful shot. What awful makeup. What terrible lighting. What a poorly conceived premise for a show.
Its pretty good,
The shot i mean not the whole show
The shots are fine, still images from a 720p yify rip are not indicative of how it looks when it's moving in 4k.
Why is he smiling?
What happened in the final episode?
Vader vs Obi round 2.
Obi won, then walked away.
Obi said Hello There to Luke
Literally what everyone wanted since the prequels were announced
An actual Vader Vs Obi-wan show-down with an emotional pay off
>what every manchild has wanted
Ftfy
He recognised that sparing and leaving Vader to wallow in his own self-loathing would inflict more suffering
>more suffering
so goal of the jedi is to spread the most suffering?
An elegant source of fun from a more civilized age

and he gives anakin a little kiss on the forehead too

So does the show write in some excuse for why Episode IV Leia seems to have no knowledge of Obi-Wan beyond him serving alongside her father?
Why does it matter? The Empire would've still been around.
Reminder that the empire did absolutely nothing wrong
They dressed uniformly and had a scawy leader

The worst part is that like 5 minutes before he told Ice Cube Jr that it was going to be a fight to the death.
