    I’ve always thought if they just showed a bit of encouragement to him he would have been fine.

    You’re not master - yet. But don’t worry, you will be, it’s a process. Listen Anakin, I know it seems like a long thing, and you are doing a great job, but everyone goes through this. I went through it…

    Instead he just got “You are not qualified. Sit down”.

      Equally, I don’t think Anakin would have lost his shit on Mustafar if he didn’t look up and see Obi-Wan standing at the top of the ramp in the ship like an utter bad bitch.

      Almost the entire point of the prequels is that the Jedi are horrible.

      So, yeah. That’s how they do it.

        I feel like Obi Wan wasnt like them but also wasnt in a position to argue with others lile Windu in EP 2 and 3.

        Yeah, I know, took a couple watchthroughs to get it at first but this was their own arrogance really showing. They couldn’t be bothered just to show a bit of encouragement.

          I find it really interesting how bad heroes on movies have to be completely over the top and people still mostly don’t get them.

          In a book Anakin could be broken by the Jedi radicalism even if everybody acted humane. But I guess a movie couldn’t have enough time for this.
