	I think it is possible to cherish both reltationships, however I do not. Padme did not have an impact on me, I can't explain it. I was touched by the brotherhood between Obi and Ani and truly, I thought they had more on screen chemistry than anything with Padme/Ani. I do think that at first Obi only took on Anakin as an Padawan because of Qui-Gon, but that changed over time. I think Obi had a lot of guilt over Qui-Gon's death, including taking on Anakin. Any of you read the JediQuest series featuring younger Anakin and Obi-Wan? It may be a young adult reader series but it gives some great insight into their relationship over some of the younger years. I reccommend it to any fan of both Jedi. The part that gets me the most with their connection...for some reason in ROTS when Anakin is late for the briefing at the Temple and Obi knows he is there without even turning around...I love that. And the stuff at the beginning battle scene...it all serves to make the end very sad for me. -----signature----- You can't quit until you try, You can't live until you die You can't learn to tell the truth until you lie...

	Welcome Palpy560! Welcome back AnakinGirl05! They really shine for me at the start of ROTS. All that stuff on the ship. They almost finish each others sentences, playing off the other. The perfect balance. You get the sense that they REALLY have worked well togeather on past misions, whatever they may be. That is what I always saw. The perfect balance. Anakin was always the impatient fast thinker, Obi-Wan the calm strategist. Even in RotS though, you see how they have rubbed off on each other. Anakin counsels patients and planning, and Obi-Wan wants to jet out of there without a plan! I think in the SW.com databank it mentions how they were hardly ever separated during the war span. And the wonderful shot of the two of them taking off their robes when about to face Count Dooku. You know you're about to face two of the best. Nice contrast to AotC. I was touched by the brotherhood between Obi and Ani and truly, I thought they had more on screen chemistry than anything with Padme/Ani. I think Hayden and Ewan had more chemistry than Hayden and Natalie. That might have been part of the problem. Any of you read the JediQuest series featuring younger Anakin and Obi-Wan? I've read them all. I love anything that explores the early relationship between the two, so that I'm able to bridge the gaps. For the most part I enjoyed the JQ series if only for the Ani/Obi relationship evolution. -----signature----- Obama/Biden '08

Even in RotS though, you see how they have rubbed off on each other. Anakin counsels patients and planning, and Obi-Wan wants to jet out of there without a plan! Yeah, interesting. When Obi-wan is about to face Grievous, he jumps down without thinking about the dozens of droids around him. Rather like Anakin. I think in the SW.com databank it mentions how they were hardly ever separated during the war span. That's because everyone recognized how good they worked togeather. Nice contrast to AotC. Ah yes. I think Dooku was a bit taken aback by their improved teamwork and mindset. He worked very had to seperate them. I think Hayden and Ewan had more chemistry than Hayden and Natalie. That might have been part of the problem. Maybe but I think the Ani/Padme relationship is rather complex. Many people look at it the wrong way. It's not so much a Hollywood romance to me as it is a near abusive and controlling relationship. The kind one finds on Lifetime or the average Daytime Soap. They are both needed parts of the Saga. But I like this bond of brothers more. -----signature----- "I like being bad. It makes me happy." - Eddie Brock / Venom in "Spider-Man 3"

	Ah yes. I think Dooku was a bit taken aback by their improved teamwork and mindset. He worked very had to seperate them. Ah yes. I have to post that part from the novel and from LOE sometime today, if my lazy butt remembers lol. The kind one finds on Lifetime or the average Daytime Soap. I love Lifetime movies lol. And I watch "All My Children" faithfully, believe me I know. They are both needed parts of the Saga. But I like this bond of brothers more. Agreed. In fact maybe we should stay away from the A/P talk. I don't want to offend anyone. Alley! I forgot to thank you for the pic you posted lat night!! Here is a good Ani/Obi fanfic. It's called Rest In Peace Post RotJ http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/23923016/p1/?8 -----signature----- Obama/Biden '08

	It’s great to see this thread up. And thanks for the pm. The videos are great Alley but oh so sad. I haven’t had the opportunity to read the Jedi Quest books but I love the interaction of the two in LOE and in the ROTS novelization. The two Clone Wars graphic novels I’ve read really showed the connection between the two also including their conflict like iLoveAnakin says - the drama of it. The Ani/Obi relationship is definitely the one that I think shines through in the PT. A good point made about the fact that their relationship carries through to the OT as well. Although the A/P love story is supposed to be the catalyst for Anakin’s downfall, the relationship seemed more of an obsession to me whereas the Ani/Obi one seemed more intense. There was so much camaraderie between the two, more of an equal relationship that finally developed. I do think the greatest tragedy was the betrayal, the severing of the two men. When Obi-Wan is basically forced to take on Anakin as his apprentice, he was still a Padawan himself and I agree, he would never have thought of doing so himself but I think for that reason alone. Although there appeared to be some jealousy on Obi-Wan’s part initially, he was enough of a Jedi to follow through on his vow to his dying Master and really did the best he could with Anakin. That lead to the incredible friendship between the two. Wow, this thread does move fast. And thanks for all the pictures. -----signature----- NaNoWriMo 2007 Winner at 87142!

	Kayla honey I knew you'd be here!! I agree that the Padme/Anakin relationship seemed more like an obsession, at least on Anakin's end...and I am going to take the advice and steer clear of talk of them now. I wouldn't want to offend any Ani/Padme fans either. The DH comics are another great source of Ani/Obi moments that we never get to see in the movies, the best being When They Were Brothers (I think it is CW #7). -----signature----- You can't quit until you try, You can't live until you die You can't learn to tell the truth until you lie...

	Welcome PadwanKayla! There was so much camaraderie between the two, more of an equal relationship that finally developed. I do think the greatest tragedy was the betrayal, the severing of the two men. Yes, finally when they are at the peak in their relationship, everything falls apart. That lead to the incredible friendship between the two. Aside from Anakin's turning, I think the relationship was the best for both of them. They were both suffering grief when Anakin became his padawan, and maybe they were able to help each other through it. Wow, this thread does move fast. The DH comics are another great source of Ani/Obi moments that we never get to see in the movies, the best being When They Were Brothers (I think it is CW #7). I'm so mad. I've been looking for this comic specifically at my local library and bookstores. I can't find it at all, and I don't like to order things off the internet too much. -----signature----- Obama/Biden '08

	Thanks so much for the PM! I was so happy to get it from you! Sorry that I have no time to spend here at the moment, but I will visit here as often I can. Wonderful idea. They are the best characters, and the reason I cried the most in RotS, was their breakup. -----signature----- “Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful.

	Wo-oh! Are we moving at lightspee here or what! A big welcome to all the new people, great to see you guys in here! Most definitely yes. And I even felt a little sorry for Obi-Wan in the beginning because basically he was sattled with a task he didn't want. But training Anakin overall was good for him. I think he would have been a more stoic being by the time RotS rolled around if Anakin hadn't been there to smooth out the edges. I definitely agree with the second part but I felt more sorry for Anakin. I mean here’s this little nine year old kid who has just had to leave his mother, lost a mentor whom he’s looked up to and had formed such a connection with even in that short a time, and he’s also going to be trained in an Order that had initially been cold to him and had rejected him. And who does he get as his master? Someone that he might look up to but this is also a person who has outright shown his absolute disregard if not dislike. Though I favor the Ani/Obi bond more than the romantic relationship between Anakin and Padme. It just seems so much more natural. Same for me! Obi and Ani just have that chemistry. They really shine for me at the start of ROTS. All that stuff on the ship. They almost finish each others sentences, playing off the other. The perfect balance. You get the sense that they REALLY have worked well togeather on past misions, whatever they may be. I think it’s one of those opposites attract things in a way. And yes they complete each other so well. Oh and like that deleted sequence in ROTS! I loved the baseball signs. Really shows how good they are as partners! Oh and I just LOVE their banter! SO adorable! I think it is possible to cherish both reltationships, however I do not. Padme did not have an impact on me, I can't explain it. I was touched by the brotherhood between Obi and Ani and truly, I thought they had more on screen chemistry than anything with Padme/Ani. Yup same for me. Really don’t know why b/c I’ve always been big romance freak but…just really didn’t sink in this time. Any of you read the JediQuest series featuring younger Anakin and Obi-Wan? It may be a young adult reader series but it gives some great insight into their relationship over some of the younger years. I reccommend it to any fan of both Jedi. I’ve read JQ! All of them too I enjoyed them actually and re-read a couple of my favorites. They’re good for getting your Obi/Ani fix but Watson is really not the best with her characterization. Ah yes. I think Dooku was a bit taken aback by their improved teamwork and mindset. He worked very had to seperate them. He'd be a fool if he didn’t try. They just work to well together! That is why they are The Team! There was so much camaraderie between the two, more of an equal relationship that finally developed. I do think the greatest tragedy was the betrayal, the severing of the two men. Oh yes….this is what makes me cry every time I watch ROTS. -----signature----- Knight of the Fanfic Order (trained by oqidaun) Master to CodyMonKenobi & mujapple-juicey Facades: http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/24152038/p1 "No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love." -- Rita Brown

	I agree with you guys on the chemistry point: Hayden and Ewan have great chemistry onscreen, and I think that's a lot of what makes them so fun to watch One of my favorite parts in ROTS is when Obi-Wan goes to make a comment about Artoo, and Anakin says, "Hey, no loose wire jokes." Obi-Wan's response to that just cracks me up... it's great I have to say, I almost felt more sorry for Obi-Wan at the end of ROTS than I did for Padme (even though I'm a huge fan of both). Their bond was strong, seemingly unbreakable, and they were the best of friends, partners, the best team to ever exist... until Anakin participated in what Obi-Wan probably thought was the biggest betrayal that could ever transpire.

	Yea well Obi-Wan isn't exactly as innocent as ppl make him out to be. Really sad, to me, how the Jedi meant more to Obi-Wan then Anakin. I mean i'm not saying Obi-Wan didn't care about Anakin I'm just saying that the bottom line is that the Jedi meant more to him [Obi-Wan], Also Obi-Wan's lack of faith in Anakin on Mustafar was just...I don't know it POs me, personally. I suppose I can allow that Obi-Wan felt betrayed but he didn't even try to find out the reason WHY all of this was happening. -----signature----- Knight of the Fanfic Order (trained by oqidaun) Master to CodyMonKenobi & mujapple-juicey Facades: http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/24152038/p1 "No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love." -- Rita Brown

	Okay WOW...I'm lovin this place, but now I'm upset because I finally have somewhere to go and now I'm getting busy! I agree with you KELIA and iLoveAnakin and sorry if anyone else replied to my question, I'm running short on time and I couldn't read everyone's lovely post! Poor Obi-Wan, he never had the chance to live his life as a Jedi Knight. That is the only time besides after your Padawan has become a Knight where you can be alone and do your own thing, not having to stay with a particular perspon constantly. I can see why Obi-Wan thought of Anakin as just another pathetic person Qui-Gon happened to pick up on the way. Obi-Wan never had the chance to see the pod race and get to know Anakin, so I supose he was just another slave boy...but we all know different. frared, Kayla, Palpy, Darth_Father-in-law and anyone else I missed...WELCOME! -----signature----- PRISON BREAK mrs. s <scofield> <sparrow> <skywalker> COME ON CANADA!

	True, but Obi-Wan did jump to conclusions rather fast. Too fast i hink. though i suppose with Qui-Gon trying to fix evert enjusice in the glaxy it would be rather naural for Obi-Wan to assume something like this. But then jumping to conclusions isn't a smart thing to do and it certainly doesn't help with positive first impressions. -----signature----- Knight of the Fanfic Order (trained by oqidaun) Master to CodyMonKenobi & mujapple-juicey Facades: http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/24152038/p1 "No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love." -- Rita Brown
