Watching through the Obi-Wan v Vader duel, Does anyone else think that when Obi-Wan says Darth, Anakin would fit in as nicely instead:

You can't win Darth, if you strike me down I will become more powerful then you can possibly imagine

to:

You can't win Anakin, if you strike me down I will become more powerful then you can possibly imagine

and

Only a Master of Evil, Darth

to:

Only a Master of Evil, Anakin

I mean it seems to me that Obi-Wan would probably still think of Vader as Anakin

What do you think?

I tend to think Obi-Wan's mocking him, there.

I tend to think that at the time that line was written and filmed, 'Darth' was a name and not a title.

That would work with Darth originally being a Jedi all on his own.

"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine before he turned to evil.."

But yeah, it's obviously a title now. tongue

I'd say no. As was mentioned before, you could assume Ben's mocking him. He may not even want to call him Vader. He's 'Darth' now, a title, a thing. Calling him Anakin wouldn't make any sense because, to Obi-Wan, Anakin's dead and has been for nineteen years.

Given that he's already told Luke how his father was dead, murdered by Darth Vader (and this is clearly true from his point of view)... having him call Vader Anakin makes no sense. Still, the way he says 'Darth' (as opposed to Vader) is almost mocking him, emphasizing that he's fallen to the dark side.

I read "The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi" the other day, and it said Ben was mocking him like a child who was given a ridiculous name.

Ya,I rem reading about that when GL first wrote the earliest scripts,there was a henchmen character named Darth Vader and Luke had a different Father that Vader did kill.

So in the movie,he was in fact calling Darth by his real name name.Darth was never Anakin in the first place.GL changed the storyline around in ESB and ROTJ.

Sure that duel was the turning point for Vader. Look Obi-Wan knew that Luke could break through his fathers toughness (which he did in Jedi) so For Obi-Wan to be fighting and Luke show up to get off the Death Star Obi-Wan flashes that smile as if to say "He'll finnish the job" as he looked at Luke was a great sceen.

heres a bold thought for mr lucas,for the 3d re-release of the film and/or blu-ray completly re shoot the whole duel,its by far the weakest in the 6 films,keep all the close ups of alec guinnes.
vaders diologue can easily be redone as obi-wan keeps his hood up for the duel you could easily use two stand ins to make the battle more intense,hayden and ewen would be great but doubt that would happen.
as alec did say the word anakin in rotj i dont think it would be to difficult for ilm to make it appear he says anakin which would make sense now.it is high possibility lucas did change fetts voice to fit in with the other films
