This arc is TWC at its peak. 10/10 would watch again for sassiest Kenobi.
This is the episode that really made me fall in love with Star Wars, the prequels, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and all of it.
It’s that moment where DOOKU: snarls, “Do control your protégé’s insolence so I can concentrate.”
OBI-WAN: “Anakin.” ANAKIN: also snarls, “WHAT.” OBI-WAN: in the most facetious voice that has ever happened, “Control your insolence. The count is concentrating.“
Where Anakin goes from
where he is like THIS CLOSE to losing his shit from frustration and Obi-Wan being all, “Anakin.” at him IS NOT HELPING HIS TEMPER
to Obi-Wan being sarcastic about ~controling his protégé~ and Anakin is immediately onboard with this hilarity
That’s it, that’s what got me. Obi-Wan and Anakin tag-teaming Dooku with being dicks to him because he’s Dooku, like Dooku deserves this and FAR MORE from them, he deserves to be annoyed by his grandpadawan and great-grandpadawan, he deserves to be soundly mocked for being an asshole first.
This is where I saw them as The Team, where they make each other laugh even in tense situations, where they may clash sometimes, but Anakin gets Obi-Wan’s sense of humor and finds it funny as well, where Obi-Wan clearly enjoys being around Anakin, where they’re HILARIOUS together.
This is where we see what Obi-Wan and Anakin have grown into being after Anakin’s Knighting, this is where we see Obi-Wan being a total troll, this is where we see Anakin kind of start losing his shit at a bunch of different points, then calming down and smiling when Obi-Wan makes some joke, this is where TCW is at its most fun and where The Team is The Team. This is where I fell in love.
