the amazing thing is nobody involved *knew* he was hiding something, but we feel it all the same. Guiness was such a good actor, and he was able to inject so much pathos into this fairly bland expository dialogue, that we can read an entire world of depth and hidden context into his lines that even Lucas hadn't fully thought out yet. I truly believe this scene is when Star Wars, as we know it, was born.
It’s amazing how consistent George was with the timeline. The fact that he based Anakin’s downfall of off this one conversation and made it all match amazes me to this day. Disney has never put that much care into the franchise.
Consistent? Oh, please... "I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since BEFORE you were born. "

Quality comment!
😂😂😂
When he asked "you fought in the clone wars" he had no idea who he was talking to. This guy was the clone wars
he started the clone wars, quite litterally
He was the best general the Republic had seen with Skywalker and took on Sith Lords and Greivous without a sweat. Only Dooku gave him trouble. Otherwise, he was nearly undefeated in battle.
It's like running into President Eisenhower and asking him if he was involved in World War II.

That little glance away as OB tries to stop himself remembering Anakin burn is PEAK editing, man.. this is genuinely one of the best fan made *anythings* ever.. the amount of weight and depth it adds to Guinness' performance is worthy of the _highest_ credit Watch this at least 3 times a year and it gets better every single time ❤
I love that’s the moment that reminds him he has Anakin’s lightsaber. I was actually expecting it in the edit, the shot on Mustafar of Obi-Wan’s hand picking up Anakin’s lightsaber at the same time Alec Guinness takes it out of the chest.
I have no idea how Alec had the foresight to glare at R2 the way he initially does. Neither he nor Lucas knew at that point that Obi-wan and R2 had ever met, yet he still glares at R2 in annoyance for bringing the war to Luke and blowing years of covert existence.
Ive heard conflicting things. Many say lucas had the outlines of the full story before making the first movie in 1977. The lack of technology made it very difficult to create what he wanted so he had to start in the middke of the story, also he was only to make one movie at first by contract, so he had to scrap alot of it and try to make a movie that could stand on its own. But apperantly the arch of anakin falling and his children redeeming him was in the original script, not fully fleshed out. Idk what to believe lol
@@cognitivedisability9864 I thought it was pretty well known that Lucas didn't know that Vader was Luke's father until after the original was released? Or maybe he planned to tell the story of Darth Vader but not have him be Luke/Leia's dad?
@@NikhillRao27 Possible that he didn't know he would combine Darth Vader and Luke/Leia's dad. Still, it is very obvious that he had major plot points tucked under his belt, and left a lot of room for expansion at a later date. He did a damn good job. Now it's impossible to find a series that is released with this level of confidence, nobody pulls their punches for the final knockout anymore. Scripts are written the day before filming and the diarrhea flows freely.
Luke: you fought in the clone wars?? Starwars audience in 1977: The What
Yeah. One of many things that had us just wanting *more* for decades...
Early concepts for the clone wars were an uprising of clones
Nah, we just accepted the term; we had heard of clones, knew what the word means. Also, even in 1977, it said, "Star Wars Episode 4" at the start of the scroll; I wanted to know where the first 3 episodes were. I learned in the book, "The Making of The Empire Strikes Back," that George Lucas had nine chapters in mind for the story.
Obi-Wan: Yes, your father and I were both cartoons, once.

Just proves how much of a great actor Sir Alec Guinness was he gave this character so much depth just by his acting and this was before George Lucas wrote the script for the prequals, you really get the sense of how terrible order 66 was just by his facial expressions, and ill say it again this was before the prequals even existed yet his facial expressions matches the edited in flashbacks so well bravo Alec Guiness, George Lucas and the editor of this video
We need a what if and Obi-Wan saving Anakin
Here again, after many years. It's still as powerful as it was the first time I saw it. _This_ is what the Obi-Wan show should've been like.
Disney doesn't care about the depth and spirit of Star Wars. They don't care about the characters, or cohesivity. Disney only care about DESTROYING GOOD, and pushing their Woke, fascist and, anti-faith, anti-white, and LGBTQ agendas!!

This is why Kenobi will always be my favorite character in Star Wars. The amount of pain, heartbreak, and loss he has gone through and still manages to do the good thing, the right thing is absolutely amazing. He will always have a special place in my heart. Makes me shed a tear. When I was a kid growing up, Kenobi was always the one I would pretend to be when playing and I always looked up to the idea of his character.
66th like
Out of all the "before the dark times" video edits, this is STILL by far the BEST. Although some other versions are longer, with the flashbacks following a more linear recollection of events chronologically, that's not how memory works. Instead, our memories are episodic, segmented, and all appear out of order. This edit displays this fact perfectly. We remember things not in the way they have happened, but in how they made us feel. Words that trigger certain emotions, both of which you haven't heard nor experienced in years cause the most vivid yet random flashbulb images that penetrate the mind without any control of what you see or feel. Great video! Praise to Alec Guinness for the top tier performance. Man is suffering PTSD from movies that had yet to be released in 30 years.

Each time I watch this, I realize just how amazing the original movies were, prequels included. The amount of story and depth that was hinted at in this extremely simple conversation just shows how much Disney has ruined the franchise. This video was done so amazingly, thank you :)

Disney did very well only two things: Rogue One and Andor.
It's amazing Obi-Wan kept it together all these years with what he witnessed.
He knew the plot of the prequels before they were made
He was literally sitting there speaking the outline of the prequel trilogy out loud
Faults but still received an oscar nomination for his portrayal. Legend.
roastedandsaltedcashews 69 the prequels were already planned before I think
The prequels were made just out of his words
Jane Rowley Not only was the story of the prequels already written before even shooting A New Hope, of course his story matches what happens in the movies. How are people so impressed by this? "Wow, it's like he already knew what was going to happen, like they just based the prequels on this scene". Yeah no shit, of course they're going to make the stories align, do people expect there to be gaping plotholes? Is that why this seems so amazing?
When Obi-Wan said "and he was a good friend", Alec Guiness' acting was like he exactly remembered that scene on Mustafar. That's something beyond remarkable

Otakamerd Anakin doesn’t like sand for one reason. He lived on a planet that was all sand for years as a slave with his mother. He couldn’t free his mother from slavery and he couldn’t free himself without help. Seeing sand brings back bad memories. People just need to really listen to what the characters are saying and try to analyze what they are saying. Don’t be dumb and jump on the bandwagon. Actually think about what the characters are saying.
Gotham Savior so what you are saying is that.... he didn't like sand!

I never considered what the events of the Prequels would have done to Obi Wan, having watched the films when I was younger. This video really does put it in a new light.
I didn't appreciate the thousand yard stare until this video. Excellent work, it hits hard.
Imagine being such a great actor you can act in context of movie that didn’t exist yet
Alec Guinness was a veteran of WW2, so when Lucas told him to act like he has seen unspeakable tragedy, he could. Because he has seen it in real life.
Phil Thats deep..
Well George Lucas was on set and he had most likely already thought of the entire story before he started making the prequels sooo... he probably already knew about the rough plot of the prequels. He’s still a great actor though
@@lancehitt0548 He actually did not plan on making prequels. He's said he wanted to continue Luke and everyone's story after the fall of The Empire but fans wanted to know how Darth Vader became Darth Vader, so he decided to go with the prequels.

@@chacesledge4185 yes but he is very deeply in the character without knowing what really happened

Got to give credit to George for threading the needle between two trilogy’s. Nobody knew at the time that R2D2 would be a faithful companion to Anakin, and yet if you suspend the fact that these trilogies were made so far apart, the way Ben says “I don’t remember ever owning a droid” and the look that follows, it’s incredible! It’s such a small detail but it’s just… incredible.
Lenoki was right in that, he has not have a droid in clone wars (at least one to last longer) so yeah, the line "I don't remember have a droid" is acurrate and true
@@rockabillygally1210 and even then he never owned one, they were republic/jedi property. R2d2 was padmes droid which she gifted to anakin, hence why its his.

oO Anonyme Oo what makes it even more impressive is that no one knew what the backstory even was at this point. Dude was a fantastic actor
That's what I said.
amazing performance in deed
Even though he was not fond of Star Wars...he really committed to giving it his best. That’s a good actor, almost like Mark Hamill learned from him. Even though he doesn’t like the new Disney films, he is giving his best.
I think what Mark Hamill thinks about the new Star Wars movies depends on which click-bait you are reading at that moment. Some articles use quotes taken completely out of context, and I don't believe he has ever said he didn't like the Last Jedi, just that initially he had some doubts *at scripting phase*! He later came out to say he considers TLJ a great movie. The context matters. If he really hated the movie it would have been extremely unprofessional of him to ciritize it during its marketing, no matter who you are.
“You fought in the clone wars?” That line... that line created so much.
(Vietnam Flashbacks)

Luke: You fought in the Clone Wars? Obi-wan: _brain suddenly switches to cartoon mode_
I ctually expected something like that to happen
Further evidence of the PTSD
The brain often remembers things in a hyperbolic sense. For instance, the stuff I remember from a kid is more or less incorrect but that's due to a variety of memory distortions. I remember the snow being piled higher than I was tall and it felt like 8 feet. But it was probably 3 feet deep. Think of a time when you were maybe 2-3 feet tall and remember the world. Your memory will be distorted or misinterpreted due to adult experiences and time. I remember being stung by bees and my memory serves me as it being a traumatic experience. But as an adult I had a bee stinging me repeatedly and I didn't even realize it - yet when I did notice that's when my mind freaked out. I would associate that response to my childhood experience.

I truly respect obi-wan He lost his love He lost his best-friend He lost his master And he still stayed as a jedi
I'd argue Obi-Wan was one of the greatest Jedi to ever live, he had so many sad and horrible things happen to him in his life and he still remained a strong and capable master. Not once did he ever even show a chance of turning to the Dark Side. He had so many chances but never took the easy way out
@@devinbrooks3930 fr
Obi wan is the greatest jedi to have ever lived, and thats because anakin and quigon pushed him to be more than just a jedi. We’re shown early on from phantom that the order was flawed and unwilling to adapt/change.
So was his master,the one who follow the forces instead of the Jedi ways
The Story of Obi-wan is truly a... tragedy. He lost everyone that he loved and people who were around him. They keep haunting his dreams, yet he doesn’t succumb to the darkness of those. He used his own flaws to overcome the darkness.

The fact that Guinness nailed this performance before George even knew what the Clone Wars were is astonishing
Obi Wan gives R2 the side eye like " You better not spill the beans little fren"
"I don't seem to remember ever OWNING a droid." Obi-Wan didn't forget R2D2; he's talking to R2. He's saying "I never owned you, you were a friend."
Yea, and even then, he technically didn't *own* r4 either. It's another "certain point of view" thing.
@@clickycal "Everything is true. From a certain point of view" man i love that show, it's hilarious
When he said that I know obi wan was like ‘you weren’t mine’ he had that face like he did 😂
Oh damn that’s deep
This is complete horseshit.
Imagine being so good at acting you have ptsd of a film that isn’t invented for another 30 years
Imagine making a film so bad it gives an actor ptsd 30 years in advance.
@Mathew Alfonso-MillsTBH I kind of liked revenge of the sith, but the first two were really bad. To be fair, they did have a good story, but the terrible script ruined it for me. But to each their own I guess.
@@user-hf9hf6hw8j attack of the clones was horrible i will give you that. Phantom Menace is half garbage and half really good (good parts are Darthmaul duel and child anakins acting. legit for a child actor it was pretty damn impressive. and then i loved revenge of the sith. i think its a movie that is held back by clone wars. cause that movie was the setup to Anakins turn to darkside and they fucked it up. i think that if the setup was done actually well, then the movie would have been the second best starwars movie.
@@user-hf9hf6hw8j i bet this guy likes the prequel over the original trilogy.
@@user-hf9hf6hw8j no film can be perfect
This gives those scenes so much more feeling! Thanks for making this!
When Obi Wan said that "Before The Dark Times, Before The Empire" a tear rolled down my cheek, you could feel the pain in his words.
There's so much anger in "Empire" that in 38yrs of watching Star Wars, I never really picked up on I love how much clarity this brings to Guiness' performance ❤
I love how when Obi-Wan says “Don’t seem to remember ever owning a droid”, he’s talking to R2, or it looks that way. It looks as though there’s that sarcastic subtext of, “You and I both know I didn’t own you, we both know who did”
Sad r4 noises.
then proceeds to say *"Very* interesting......." instead of telling Luke his daddy-o murdered every Jedi the clones didnt get to first :(
actually R2 doesn't remember Anakin because they deleted R2's memory
@@iikills6927 R2's memory wasn't wiped -- only C3PO's.
Passage of ownership is a little weird. R2 was a royal Naboo droid, but it's never explained how Anakin and Obi-Wan got ownership of him. I suspect Padme gave R2 to Anakin, but Obi-Wan likely became a co-owner given Anakin's age. With Anakin assumed dead on Mustafar and his wife dying in childbirth, either Obi-Wan and/or Leia would end up as R2. It all depends on laws and how droids are registered to their owner. It seems like merely possessing a droid doesn't automatically grant mastership similar to how the title to a car works. Regardless of the case, it's understandable to see how Obi-Wan might have been registered as R2's owner without knowing it. Or we might be looking into this too closely and that R2 is just lying, which possible given that R2 lied to Luke and C3P0 to trick Luke into removing the restraining bolt.
The way Alec Guinness acts it almost seems like this was made after the prequels and he was told to act like he was remembering these specific moments from them. Great actor.
Without Guinness the Original trilogy would've sucked.
Lucas had a rough lore written out, he probably gave alec a little background of what obi wans origin was. Still amazing acting for what little he had.
@@mulberry8882 I will concede Lucas had the Lore but Alec Guinness fixed a lot of things. Supposedly the script was a lot more awkward and chunky before. If you want to know the difference watch the painful dialogue in the prequel trilogy vs the original trilogy.
@@mulberry8882 kzhead.info/sun/l8ykotqrlpRuaWg/bejne.html This sums it up.
Alec Guiness fought in WW2 so he actually might not be 100% acting like he's seen trauma well because he has.
Wow really brings more emotion to the scene when you can actually see the flashbacks that Obi Wan is reminiscing on… awesome video! Brought tears to my eyes no cap
0:46 Luke and Anakin look so alike in this moment.
Imagine being such a good actor that your character has PTSD from events in a movie that wouldn't be made in 30 years.
No he’s a WW2 vet
It's really not that difficult. "You're an old veteran with PTSD . You've lived a long life and often take pauses between lines to reflect on old memories". He did a great job at acting this out, but at the same time it's not something incredibly difficult to do and everyone seems to be overacting about it.
@@Wee-Snaw This. And also all the movies are based on books that existed before and I can imagine that it's only natural for actors to get to know as much as they know about their character so he probably read them before. People act as if no one knew anything about the story because the movies were not out
@@kabo2246 Wait, sorry? What books are we talking about??
@@andrew_c_b_ nvm, I must have mixed it with some other movie, I always thought that star wars had books xD (it does now but those are newer ones)
“Beware of an old man in a profession where men die young”
Damn.
Well, yeah. According to the screenplay writer and choreographer of ROTS, Obi-Wan was an 8/10 in terms of power, while Yoda, Anakin and Sidious were alone in being a 9/10. That basically makes Obi-Wan one of the greatest Jedi of all time in terms of combat prowess alone, and that wasn't even his greatest virtue. The quote applies to him for sure.
As far as I know, Obi-Wan is the best at one of the lightsaber techniques and if I'm not lying to myself, that's the defensive one. He might have not been as force-sensitive as Anakin, but re-watch their battle and notice how Obi-Wan did not get hit once.
@@alonnie1919 Soresu, and he was not just 'a' master at it, but according to Master Windu, yes the guy who kicked Sidious' ass (confirmed by Lucas not to have been a ploy), Obi-Wan is 'THE' mater of Soresu. Only Master Yoda could hit him in combat, and he still struggled with it. If anyone wanted to hit Kenobi in battle they'd have to have either flawless Makashi, which is the fencing style and Dooku's style, or even more perfect Ataru, which is the acrobatic style and Yoda's style.
Straight White Male What if I just hit o I wan lightsaber really hard.
3:12 Luke: How did my father die? Obi-Wan: Lets just say, he tried it.
I kinda like the idea that Obi-Wan's so traumatized by the events a small part of him even *believes* the lie, when he claims Vader killed Anakin. It's a way for him to avoid taking responsibility for turning Anakin into Vader -- which he never really does during the original trilogy. "What I told you was true, from a certain point of view" stops being a ridiculous gaslighting attempt against Luke but instead becomes a desperate justification to himself for having avoided confronting the truth for so long.

taking a second to admire how fucking brilliant Alec Guinness was as an actor.
Love the way he makes the difference between Anakin and Vader. Anakin was a jedi, Vader killed Anakin and destroyed the jedi. Even before the prequels, Anakin and Vader were already depicted as two different entities in one person.
Thought this was a meme but its actually an emotional piece of star wars history
same lol
This is literally the best trailer i've ever seen. I showed it to all my friends and they agree. If the star wars movies was told like this, this would be on of the best masterpieces ever made
yes

It’s like if you asked General Patton “Wait, you fought in WWII?”, and his reply is simply “Oh yes, I was an Army officer, just like your father...”
Well he did find the entire clone army so kinda
