** While Obi-Wan's HeartfeltApology dosen't banish the monster that is Darth Vader, you can tell from the dark warrior's exposed, sorrowful eye that he was still deeply moved, and this lie [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation was his way of ''accepting'' his teacher's apology]], because deep down, Anakin Skywalker could not stand to see a man he still loved be in so much pain for the consequences of ''his own'' wrongdoing, and absolved him of this guilt to free him. On some level, Vader's declaration is a means of taking pride for the mighty Sith Lord he has become, but the look on his face and the undercurrent of sorrow in his voice is enough to show that ''Anakin,'' a man who is living a FateWorseThanDeath every waking day, is doing what he can to release Obi-Wan from a similar fate and accept his own responsibility for the Hell his existence has become.

* When Leia asks what the Force feels like, Obi-Wan gives a brief but beautiful summary of it, comparing it to the feeling someone who is afraid of the darkness feels when they turn on the light.

* Reva has a chance to kill Luke...and doesn't. She brings him home safe and falls weeping in shame before Obi-Wan, who instead of berate her mistake, reassures her of her humanity.

** It was this moment of kindness that Qui-Gon's spirit deemed Obi-Wan to be worthy of reuniting with in the mortal world once more, twenty three years on. More important than a great ''warrior'' that smiting Darth Vader once more conclusively proved him to be, Jedi are ''healers.'' By saving Reva's broken soul, Obi-Wan is a Jedi ''master'' once more, worthy of finally travelling down the road to true enlightenment.

* The dynamic between Nari and the saloon owner, even if it's mostly offscreen. Prior to the series, Nari fought off criminals oppressing the saloon owner despite the risks of showing Jedi powers, and the saloon owner gave him a place to say and refuses to sell him out to the Inquisitors when they come. Nari then blows his cover to prevent the saloon owner's death and, surprisingly, it's ''not'' a SenselessSacrifice, as the Inquisitors don't bother to kill the saloon owner for harboring a Jedi before leaving in pursuit of Nari.

--->'''Owen:''' What are you, uh, doin' here? I thought you were gonna keep your distance.\\
'''Obi-Wan:''' And I will. You know, you were right. He just needs to be a boy. The future will take care of itself. The only protection he needs now, Owen, is you and Beru. Take good care of him.\\

** How the series shows that Obi-Wan shares a Force Bond with Leia, just as he does with Luke. It's of lesser strength than the one he shares with Anakin/Vader (which even he seems surprised, at first, by), and he can't talk to them and share images across the galaxy (maybe because they're still untrained), but he once HesBack, he can feel when one of the twins is in danger.

*** Obi-Wan is able to reach out to the Force again because he needs to save and protect her.



*** Further explains how Leia quickly mastered the Jedi Way between [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Endor]] and the birth of her son (about a year).



*** And why she names her son, Ben - not after LivingLegend Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, but Ben, who is her family and who saved her and protected her again and again.
