Was leaving Anakin alive a mistake?

This part was really weak and there is no way to defend it

Why didn't he just kill him? If the answers is "because that would be too much for him" then I am sure that letting him agonize while he burns is much more cruel than just not letting Anakin have an honorable dead.

he was kinda an asshole to not pull him up from the lava and letting him get his cock burnt off. Kinda surprised vader didn't suicide after that shit

Guess what, Yea Forums! You're going to learn to use a lightsaber!

Would you rather have Yoda teach you Ataru, Obi-Wan teach you Soresu, Anakin teach you Djem So, Dooku teach you Makashi, Kit Fisto teach you Shii-Cho, or Mace teach you Vaapad?

You can only choose one to become "above average" in, and you have to choose wisely! The evil Darth Sidious is going to kill you if you can't last 60 seconds in a duel with him!

Sneakily getting on Padme's ship to go murder Anakin was a mistake.
Not letting Anakin know you've loved him since he was 9 until he is fucking burning was a mistake.

jedi only kill in self defense. he was helpless

The books were more thorough

One Anakin was like his brother/son so Obi didn't want to do it

Padme was also dying and would probably hate him if he executed Anakin. He needed to get her help.

Also he sensed Palpatine was super close and didn't want to fight a master Sith lord with clones.

Obi Wan and Soresu. Fighting style that involves trolling your opponent with defense until they fuck up sounds fun.

Could Obi-Wan have convinced him to stop his foolishness if he actually tried to?

Obiwan wanted anakin, or as I like to call him, darth, to suffer. It isn't the jedi way but Darth took things too far. In his later years he would realize what a mistake and that manifested itself via the nearly holy way obiwan spoke of him.

Dunno about Obi-Wan but Padme was pretty close. Since Luke brought Anakin back I think the moment the twins were born he would have broken down completely. Obi-Wan would have helped him after.

Yoda and Obi-Wan could've beat Sheev right?

>MUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHH!!!

What did Anakin mean by this?

All of them get BTFO except Yoda so him I guess

it didn't matter at all, no matter what anyone does in star wars the empire/first order/some other dark side power will always come back and rule most of the galaxy, nothing matters.

i thought they couldnt sense palpatine bc he was shrouded in the dark side

could he always sense a sith lord that was near palpatine when he went to his office

Mace literally says in episode 3 that the dark side surrounds the chancellor, the jedi were just too stupid to realise he was the source of that darkness. Everyone except palpatine was an idiot in the prequels.

If they team up sure. Even Yoda alone is on par with Palpatine.
Can't wait for the sequel of the sequel trilogy to follow the adventures of the 'Uprising' and their battle to take down the evil 'Supremacy' lead by Darth Psychopathus and his trusted apprentice Darth Insanius.

yoda and obi wan vs palpatine would be no different than yoda vs palpatine, obi wan simply strong enough to make a difference

Well, if he killed him, 25 years later nobody would be there to throw Palpatine down the shaft while he's barbecuing Luke. So it worked out in the long run. Kind of like with Bilbo and Gollum.

Sheev wasn't hiding his powerlevel anymore

>honorable dead.

Think if obi wan and yoda had trained luke from childhood instead of sitting on their asses for twenty years he could take on palpatine?

>letting Anakin have an honorable dead.
He didn't deserve one. Letting him slowly die in agony was a fitting death to such a monster, he just didn't expect someone to come rescue him.

>Also he sensed Palpatine was super close and didn't want to fight a master Sith lord with clones.
Would literally take another second to plunge his lightsaber into Anakin. He could have afforded the time.

Killing an unarmed foe isn't the jedi way.
Anakin acknowledges this at the start of ROTS but still kills dooku, he fucks up and suffers for it later.
Mace acknowledges this in the middle of ROTS but still tries to kill palpatine, he fucks up and dies for it.
At the end of ROTS obi wan follows the jedi way, refuses to kill an unarmed man and twenty years later the sith are destroyed because obi wan did the right thing.

Now Obi wan cutting all of Anakin's limbs off may have been overkill, but what was he supposed to do afterwards, creep down to the edge of the lava and drag the guy who spent that afternoon killing children to safety? The same guy who is screaming ''I HATE YOU'' and could potentially force push you into the lava at any moment? The scene could have been done better but it made sense, Obi wan only had one winning move and he made it.

It was the will of the Force™

>sensed Palpatine was super close
>but couldn't sense him at any time before in ROTS or the other two movies

Maybe. I never though that Palpatine was some DBZ powerlevels unbeatable motherfucker, just the most cunning guy in the room. Taking out Palpatine isn't such a huge factor, Yoda almost got him and if he had a railing to grab on to things could've been different.
Getting through to him after that on the other hand. Yoda did it on Day 0 of the Empire cause shit wasn't as tight. After that you had a whole army of stromtroopers that you'd have to go though with no support cause the Rebels weren't of any use for a couple of decades.
Yoda and Obi-Wan kind of lost hope, I think. They never planned on training Luke to rebuild the Order. They just gave up on that. He was heir weapon to destroy him. Like you have a house and some dipshit blows it up and all you're left is a brick. Are you gonna try rebuilding the house with one brick or try to bash the dipshit's head with it?
The part in ROTS when Obi-Wan and Yoda just decide to go full assassination mode is like the most natural part in all the movies. No noble causes, no rebuilding the Order and shit. Just what anybody would go for in that moment when everything went to shit. Like if Germany won WW2 and there's one Allied soldier in Berlin with a gun and a bullet. Take the shot.

George Lucas can't write for shit. His scenes make no logical sense in relation to the OT or the prequels themselves.

Honestly, he had to think of a reason Anakin was burned because Ralph Mcquarie drew Darth in a bun suit and the line in A New Hope about more machine than man.

So he said..herp a derp lava planet...and figured falling o his ass was good enough.

You idiots act like the lore is why this shit happened in the movies. The lore was written after the fact and Lucas did have much to do with it.

He half assed everything. They literally showed him throwing together a script in the phantom menace documentary. If he really had a story to tell he would have written it in his 20s when he had shit to say.

He literally just takes credit for other people's hard work and flew by the seat of his pants trying to one up James Cameron...and he couldn't because he isn't as talented.

Why would a jedi leave a friend to burn and suffer? There are ten different answers in this thread but the real answer is George is a fucking hack.

>Also he sensed Palpatine was super close and didn't want to fight a master Sith lord with clones.

Well, we don't know how close Palpatine was. Anakin could've spent hours lying there after Obi-Wan left and Palpatine arrived. Flying from Coruscant too Mustafar, I'm guessing, isn't short.

Lucas said that Original trilogy vader was an 8 in terms of power, palpatine was a 10 and if anakin didn't lose his limbs he could potentially have become a 20, luke presumably had the same potential since he was close to vader's level after only 2-3 years of training.

anything but makashi is wrong

And while I'm on it....

A good way to do this is have Anakin overcommit early in part three against Doku and fall off a ledge or something. Obiwan beats Doku and saves him. The reminds him that aggression is never the answer. Palp smiles behind their backs.

Palp uses this to fuel Anakin's anger and tells him he could have taken Doku if he'd been a bit stronger and faster, not because of aggression. Underminds obiwan teaching. Feeds Anakin's anger and anxiety.

THEN it pays off in the final fight. He overcommits on attacking Obi and either cuts too deep into a power conduit and fries himself or just falls into chemicals/fire/ECT. Could be anything on a spaceship or station that would burn a human. Obi would have wounded his legs and arms and the burn would finish them off.

Obi thinks he is dead and leaves.

Of course, Palp should have been underminding Obi for two movies worth to make it believeable but Lucas fucked that up too.

George is a hack.

why didnt anakin just use the force to float around like a nugget and shoot lightning at people

would drain his stamina bar too fast

Djem so, probably the easiest to learn

vaapad is the only one that gives you a prayer of surviving vs sheev

nah obi wan is the best defensive jedi, he would last a long time and make things harder for palpatine who now has to focus on two enemies

>no because he was in the next movies so if he died it wouldnt have made sense
