Obi-Wan Remembers The Truth

"What I told you was true, from a certain point of view"

Song: A Blessing by Max Richter. Known from the show The Leftovers(fantastic show!)

Thank you so much for watching everyone, the response to this video has been incredible. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

[ShahanReviews]

Just want to reiterate how awesome all of you are and how thankful I am for the the response to this video. When I made it I never imagine it would get a response like this. The fact that this video resonated with so many of you is overwhelming and something I won't take for granted. You are all awesome!

my parents didn't sign my permission slip to go on this feels trip

[nnmartin]

What's awesome is that Alec Guinness' acting really conveys that story without even knowing what it was, or ever having seen it. Great actors.

I enjoy revisiting this video every once in a whlie. It's spawned of a lot of imitators, but it's still the best, most simple-and-elegant, most evocative take on the concept.

"and he was a good friend." [anakin screams I hate you]

my heart how it hurts

[TheKooster]

this video is a pathway to many feels some consider to be unnatural

I love how no one knew Vader's past before this, yet he still paused at perfect times as if he was remembering something hard for him to talk about.

"I cut off his arms and left him to burn near a lava stream, he was a good friend"

[Arborem]

This speaks volumes of the brilliant acting talents of Alec Guinness.

[ShahanReviews]

Thank you so much for the kind words everyone. It means a lot to me! I definitely want to keep making videos like this.

Luke: "How did my father die?"
Kenobi: "Like an overly toasted marshmallow."

[Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

You were my brother Anakin.  I loved you.

[PuddingWhispers]

This has me tearing up...damn....I fucking love Star Wars

[jacklantern]

I really thought this was going to be an awkward edit, but because of a few glances and gulps from Alec Guiness it seems like the truth is on the tip of his tongue but he just couldn't tell him. The music and usage of the best parts of the prequels adds to it in my opinion. Very well done.

*Obi wan*: He was a good friend.
*Anakin*: ASSHOLE!!

[danyenjoyer]

the silent "I HATE YOU" after "he was a good friend"

obi wan's hesitation and Anakin burning after "how did my father die"

this clip just melts me everytime

[Rayklin]

"How'd my father die"?

49 times....
We fought that beast

[AndorRobotnik]

Alec Guiness was so good that his face when asked about Anakin's dead is perfect to show how guilty Obi Wan feels

[Zed_Said]

This is what made Alec Guiness such an amazing actor. Despite not knowing the background of Vader at the time of this movie's release, he was able to show such subtlety in his acting that made it clear that Ben knew more than he was letting on to Luke. Still one of the best characters in the entirety of Star Wars lore.

[DoctorXander]

This highlights what a great actor Alec Guiness was, the flashbacks here emphasise his facial expressions, he seems like he's legitimately remembering his painful past and planning how what he should and shouldn't revealm
