By the Force I'm speechless - if you truly killed Obi-Wan, you gave him a magnificent exit, but, darn, I'm wiping tears from my eyes.
That whole thing with Anakin discovering "balance" and Obi-Wan defeating the Shadow of Vader but his willing sacrfice - darn it, I need two boxes of tissues.

If you wished to capture the power of all of our ancient images of myth that describe moments of fundamental Power and Destiny (Michael throwing the Devil from Heaven, the death of the Gods at Ragnarok, Shiva descending to dance His dance across the Earth) in chapter 64 then you certainly achieved it. It really was like reading of the asencion of a god to the celestial ranks, and his own renuncication of that power for the sake of the mortal world.
I don't have much else to add other then that this was just amazing, and it was wonderful that Obi-Wan returned, even if it was only to end the threat of the Old Sith once and for all through an act of penultimate sacrifice.

My God. Honestly, I'm a lurker here. But this... I just had to reply.
It's too beautiful for words, really. This is one of the most well-written and original fics I've ever had the honor to read for any subject or genre. Palpatine's death was so... agh.... words fail me at the moment. I'm afraid my brain's turned to mush. It's certainly the most original way I've ever read of Palps death. Anakin's punishment for him is definitely the worst thing that could've happened to Palpatine, from his point of view.
And the final part... I really cried. Obi's struggle and ultimate decision along with Anakin's desperation to keep him alive was too perfectly written. 
Although, I'm not sure if I want to read the next chapter! A huge part of me is afraid to see what happens. This isn't the stress from any cliffhanger, this is the fear and anxiety a person might get from waiting to learn something BIG. Life changing, even.
This story is hands down my favorite Star Wars fanfiction of all time.

Anakin, guilt consuming him, sent his former master all the strength that his own injured body could give, hating more than anything in the galaxy this feeling of his helplessness as he watched his brother struggle for his soul. OMG! *Cries* That, and all of it, was wonderful. I can't add much to what has already been said, except to say you've blown me away. Fabulous! More soon, please (I'll beg)?

Nice double post!
That was epic... I liked the sentance, but Obi falling to darkness is bleak. What will Anakin do when he realizes that the Death Star is going to blow up his kids.

Incredible. Unspeakably, serenely, perfect. You are one of the finest, possibly the finest, writer of fiction whose work I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
You do know, don't you, that this story, given as a work sample will allow you to get any writing position, anywhere. Best of luck with that, and I'm sure you have a promising future ahead of you. Incredible. And unbelievable considering you're, what, 18?
I await the next chapter with abated breath.
And by the way -- you might be getting some contact from Ubisoft soon

Wow, and I say again, WOW! I always enjoy seeing Palpatine get his due in these stories. I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of our friends, and also the brave fighter pilots taking on the Imps near Alderaan.

This was an awesome post! 
After reading it, it's been lingering in my mind to the point I had to delurk to ask that Obi-Wan live. 
Now I'm going to plead his case, though it may not be well. Obi-Wan has a son he knows nothing about and the guy needs to know his son and vice versa. Also, he's been through a lot over the years: misled, deceived, turned bad but still had good within him, he killed Sidious to save a friend, and now he's struggling to defeat Vader and Bane. Our Jedi needs a break. 
Okay, now that I've gotten down all the thoughts running through my mind, I guess the end results will be left to the muse.

I have one thing to say : CONGRATULATIONS
I really loved that vision of the Force and Palpatine's utter evil aspect leading to his utter demise. It was really brilliant!
And now, one thing remains for the new Sith Master and Jedi Grandmaster : the Death Star. Only this time, he cannot do much.

Wow, that was amazing, where do I start? Definitly worth the wait. The space battle in Chapter 63 was fantastic, as good as anything I've read in the novels. And as for Chapter 64, I'm speechless, so many twists and turns. Loved how Anakin stripped the Emperor of his power, the only thing he was afraid of. Obi-Wan's sacrafice was heartbreaking, I really hope it's not all over for him.
Can't wait for the next chapter.

Anakin's a Super Saiyan!  I've been following for a while as a lurker. I know how it can get when you can't update as much as you'd like. You've done well considering the fact that the updates have been sporadic.

Amazing posts, so intense.
Finally Anakin sees the truth, but can he help Obi-Wan return
He is the chosen one so he should be able to save his real master.
After all Obi-Wan has a son and should see him.
It would be a shame if he died, and I might cry forever.
Excellent story.
