When did you first get into the Obi/Ani ‘ship?
ROTS but my opinion is slightly biased there.

Did you like them as a team right away or did they gradually grow on you?
I liked them as a team srait away.

What timeframe of their relationship are you most interested in?
Just after Anakin's knighting and into ROTS.

Do you think we should have seen more of them together in the movies? Do you wish we could have?
I would have liked to but I definently liked what we did see.

Favorite scene with the boys:
Opening of ROTS.

Three adjectives to describe their ‘ship:
forceful, passionate, brothers

Any other stuff you wanna add:
Looks to be an interesting discussion. grin

When did you first get into the Obi/Ani ‘ship?

After seeing RotS. The Obi/Ani parts in the Clone Wars cartoons were pretty fun, but the first time I saw RotS is when I really fell in love with the boys.

Did you like them as a team right away or did they gradually grow on you?

Both, kind of. I didn't dislike them or anything, but I was more of an A/P fan during the time between AotC and RotS. I guess I liked them right away, but it took some time to make me really...appreciate their awesomeness. tongue

What timeframe of their relationship are you most interested in?

Clone Wars/RotS. They're equals, best friends...and they both look their best during those years. batting

Do you think we should have seen more of them together in the movies? Do you wish we could have?

In a way, yes. In a way, I'm happy with what we've got, because we can use our imaginations to fill in the blanks. What I really would have liked is to see them together on Tatooine, like if Obi-Wan instead of Padme went with Anakin to save Shmi, because then my three biggest SW loves would be together. nerd

Favorite scene with the boys:

Either the Clone Wars scene where Anakin's eating the bugs, or the early parts of RotS, up until Obi leaves for Utapau. Anything where they're happily bantering, I guess.

Three adjectives to describe their ‘ship:

In alphabetical order: Complicated, intimate (not in that way!), passionate

Any other stuff you wanna add:

I'm so glad to see an Ani/Obi thread here in Resource! Thanks for starting it, Alley! happy

corellian-jedi: Lol! I sure like that "real stpry"

Jturtle: Yes the opening sequence of ROTS was deffinetely a good one for the boys. There we get to see the "Hero Team" of the CW that we've heard about for so long.

amidalachick: KIM! You know you can't use the word "intimate" in reference to the boys and and NOT expect my mind to go into the gutter mischief




The first challenge will be up soon...tommorow most likely happy

February Challenge


Keeping Score?

So since so many of us seem to like the CW/ROTS era lets have a CW-era challenge shall we?

Now in ROTS it is mentioned that the boys have been keeping score on the "save" front. So here's your challenge: Write a fic about one of those times that Anakin rescues Obi-Wan. It can be one of those nine (or is it ten?) times mentioned in ROTS or, if you want, Obi-Wan can end up returning the favor. All genres welcome! Oh, one little catch: you must use the word procrastinate somewhere in your fic. Have fun!

February Challenge


No submissions yet for the challenge so I think I’ll keep it running through March.




New Topic!

Unique Interpretation Or Mischaracterization?

So…the boys are…complicated, to say the least. They have been known to divide a lot of fans and not to mention produce some very interesting characterizations of them separately as well as their relationship. Possibly because they go through such an arch in their relationship?

So here’s the question I pose to you: What is your overall view on their dynamic. Did both “give and take” equally in this relationship? Could ether or both sides have done something to make things a little…shall we say smoother?

I’ll even throw in a follow up question. Where do YOU draw the line between unique interpretation and mischaracterization (of ether character and/or their ‘ship)?

Summer Challenge


Here's a new challenge for you all to chew on! It goes hand in hand with the new topic as well.

Mustafar AU!

Come on! Lets have a revival of the Mustafar AU trend that boomed after ROTS premiered. We all wanna see Obi save Ani from Mustafar. Or maybe Ani saves himself with some "indirect" help from Obi? So, your task is simple: write as a Mustafar AU where the Mustafar duel ends the way we all wished it would!





New Topic!

Couldda Been?

Here is the simply, and yet not so simply, question I pose to you all:

Do you think Obi could have saved Ani from turning to the Dark Side?

I'll even throw a follow up question in there. Do you think Obi-Wan should have tried harder to turn Anakin back? Do you think he tried at all?


I personally answer "yes" to the main question, "yes" to the first follow up question, and "not really" to the last one.
But before I expand on that, I want to know what everyone else thinks.

I know I'm late and now off topic, but I had to answer this. Please forgive me, but I must GUSH.

When did you first get into the Obi/Ani ‘ship?

Right after I saw RotS. I fell in love with these two. blush Their relationship was not exactly what I expected it to be in AotC, but RotS made me go back and appreciate all of the complexities of their relationship, and now, dialogue that used to slightly annoy me just has me giggly and amused, because they really do sound like an old married couple. love

After this, I devoured every Ani/Obi fic, pre-AotC, and post-AotC novel I could find on them. They are truly my Star Wars OTP. grin


Did you like them as a team right away or did they gradually grow on you?

Pretty much the same as above. At first I thought they were pretty mis-matched, but worked well together when they needed to. But again, RotS just wowed me, and they really became "The Team" on screen.


What timeframe of their relationship are you most interested in?

The ten years between the TPM and AotC, and the Clone Wars.


Do you think we should have seen more of them together in the movies? Do you wish we could have?

Yes, and YES! I felt quite robbed in AotC where they are concerned. They spend so much time apart. I much prefer them to the love story (and I used to like the love story), but now I see that in their own way, Anakin/Obi-Wan is the real love story, and I do not even mean that in a slashy way, but just in a tragic way -- this is the relationship that tugged at my heart strings.



Favorite scene with the boys:

All of them, really. I was starting to make a list in my head, but really, I love them whether they are fighting, or getting drunk together (LOE). grin



Three adjectives to describe their ‘ship:

Complicated, tragic, beautiful.


Any other stuff you wanna add:

Places like this thread are heaven for me grin

Couldda Been?

Here is the simply, and yet not so simply, question I pose to you all:

Do you think Obi could have saved Ani from turning to the Dark Side?


Honestly, no. I do believe Anakin was too far gone at this point, and that no one (except Luke and his pure love) could have saved Anakin.

I'll even throw a follow up question in there. Do you think Obi-Wan should have tried harder to turn Anakin back? Do you think he tried at all?

I think Obi-wan tried as much as he could stand. In his experience, no one ever comes back to the light once they are a Sith, so I guess at a certain point he felt it was hopeless.

Erm . . .

I would like to direct the indexer's attention to the fact that the opening posts look weird due to a browser encoding bug. For more information, please see this thread in Communications.

Do you think Obi could have saved Ani from turning to the Dark Side?

That is actually a pretty tough question. I would say 'yes' and 'no' quite honestly. It all depends on how far gone you believe Anakin to be.

Do you think Obi-Wan should have tried harder to turn Anakin back?

Yes. Anakin did need to be put in his place, but I don't think cutting off his arms and legs really did much. The whole 'guilt trip' thing at the end of the battle only succeded in making Anakin feel worse. But Obi-Wan, I don't think he would have believed Anakin had Anakin said he renounced the Dark Side, at this point.

Do you think he tried at all?

I think he tried as he saw fit under those circumstances. If it had been Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, those words would have brought Obi-Wan back. It's almost like he forgot he was talking to Anakin. I still think he did pretty good though.
