5 Favorite TCW Moments:
TCW中最爱的5个瞬间:
5.Three way tie between their scenes in the 1.11/1.12 two parter, 2.07, and the post crash scene in 2.17, and I don't technically feel like this is cheating to include a three way tie because I love all of these for one unified reason, that reason being AW YES OLD MARRIED COUPLE SCENES. This is one of the best things about being an A/O fan to me, that you get all these different sides of their relationship to explore and appreciate; you have angst, you have playfulness, you have a working partnership, so on and so forth, and this one is consistently the most hilarious, when they’re that bickering old married couple who loves each other, sure, but are frequently a second away from strangling each other at times too, and over the stupidest little things at that. And my favorite thing is that when you throw in a third character to actually witness them being like this, like with Ahsoka in 2.17, it’s clearly what they see too- just look at her incredibly amused, kind of fond and exasperated all at once expression as she just shakes her head while she watches them in this kind of 'Eh, what else can you do when they get like this but let it crack you up’ way.
5.他们在第一季第十一集/第十二集单元里三个人被绑在一起的时候,还有第二季第七集,以及第二季第十七集的坠机场景,虽然一口气说了三集但我觉得这不算作弊,因为我喜欢这三部分都出于同一个共同的原因,那就是噫,老夫老妻场景。对我来说这是当A/O迷妹最棒的一件事了,你能看到他们关系中的各个方面都得到探索和展现;有紧张的时刻,有玩笑的时刻,能看到他们如何协作搭档,等等等等,而这一面由始至终都是最好玩的,他们仿佛吵吵闹闹的已婚伴侣,深爱着彼此,自然,但同时也分分秒秒想要掐着对方的脖子,为那些最无关紧要的小事争辩不休。我最喜欢的就是还有个第三人见证了他们俩这样,就像第二季第十七集的阿索卡——她完全啼笑皆非,脸上带着无可奈何的喜爱,又有些恼火,看着他俩摇摇头,仿佛“这种时候你什么也做不了,这两个人没药救了”。
4.The Citadel Arc. There are three arcs in the series that have a lot of AO moments I love, so I’m going to group those arcs together as one 'moment’ each, or else this would quickly turn into a top 20 comprised purely of moments from those three arcs, lol.
4.堡垒arc。在TCW里有三个单元有很多我爱的AO场景,所以我把这三个单元各自作为一个moment拎开来说,要不然这就要变成由三个单元组成的Top 20了,哈哈。
The big draw of the Citadel arc to me, in terms of this ship, is the focus on the strength of their partnership. The fact that once they’re separated we get these cuts back and forth of the two of them discussing how they know the other will just shift to Plan B, a plan nobody else in the party seemed to realize existed but the two of them, back and forth shots of both of them joking about the other being late, somehow managing to banter across a distance up until they’re reunited and even in the middle of being shot at, outnumbered, and having their escape route cut off, the first thing Obi-Wan does is tease Anakin for indeed being late while Anakin just smirks at him. Anakin saying to leave distracting the dogs to him, to which Obi-Wan only has to clear his throat for Anakin to correct himself by adding 'And Obi-Wan, of course’, an exchange I love because Obi-Wan’s response is so 'We’re partners, genius, that means you don’t get to volunteer for the crazy dangerous assignments without me being at your side’ and the way Anakin quickly adds the 'of course’ seems to me like he just knew Obi-Wan would be there with him and took it for granted- and not in the negative sense of the term, just that he knows they’re a team and that’s how they work and he just assumes it goes without saying.
对我来说堡垒单元最吸引人的就是,对这对CP而言,重点就在于他们的搭档关系有多强大。而他们被分开的时候,我们得以看到这两个人各自提起他们知道对方会转用B计划,这个计划似乎除了他们俩之外根本没人知道,还有来回切换的镜头,显示他们两个人都开玩笑说对方来晚了,即使实际上分隔两地也能在重聚前隔空打趣对方,甚至在他们遭受攻击,寡不敌众,后路被断的情况下,欧比旺对安纳金说的第一句话还是打趣安纳金迟到了,而安纳金只是咧嘴一笑。安纳金说要留下来分散猎犬的注意力,欧比旺简单地清了清嗓子,然后安纳金就自动纠正了自己“还有欧比旺一起,当然”,我爱这样的交流,因为欧比旺的反应就像是“我们可是搭档,大天才,意思就是你不会在没有我在你身边的情况下自告奋勇完成这项极端危险的任务”,而安纳金匆匆补上的“当然”对我来说就像是他当然知道欧比旺会跟他一起,这是理所当然的——不是那种负面意义的理所当然,而是他知道他们是搭档,他们本应如此,只是他假定了这点不言而喻,不需要提起。
I’m also a huge fan of the Anakin/Ahsoka/Obi-Wan relationship, and basically view Anakin and Obi-Wan as Ahsoka’s dads and do my fair share of squealing over that familial dynamic, something this episode is also great for. Obi-Wan shamelessly shooting Anakin that smug grin over him having to be 'the bad guy’ with Ahsoka due to his overprotectiveness, Obi-Wan cutting into Anakin and Ahsoka’s talk to rescue Ahsoka and point out Anakin's hypocrisy to him, welcoming her aboard while she looks like she’s so touched she may cry, Obi-Wan and Anakin racing over together as if to help Ahsoka only to see she rescued Tarkin on her own, Tarkin remarking as he walks past them she’s been well trained, the two of them asking Plo about whether or not Ahsoka lied together, meaning at some point on the trip home they took time to themselves to discuss what to do about her.
我同样非常喜欢安纳金/阿索卡/欧比旺组合,在我眼里安纳金和欧比旺基本上就是阿索卡的两个爸爸,理直气壮地为这种家庭般的感觉萌到尖叫,这一集的几个细节同样也很棒地展现了这点。在安纳金出于他对阿索卡的过度保护欲,不得不唱红脸的时候,欧比旺厚颜无耻地向安纳金露出了个得意的笑容。当欧比旺插入了安纳金和阿索卡的谈话,为阿索卡帮腔,指出安纳金对他完全说一套做一套,欢迎她参与的时候,阿索卡看起来感动得简直要哭了。欧比旺和安纳金一起奔向阿索卡打算帮助她,但最终看到她独力救下了塔金,而塔金走过他们俩身边的时候评论了一句,她被教得很好;这两个人一起问普洛阿索卡有没有撒谎,这说明他们在回程的路上或多或少花了时间来讨论要怎么处置她,
Also, one more thing I’m a sucker for- 'we’ speak. It’s one of the most coupley gestures I can think of, and Anakin and Obi-Wan do it twice in these episodes. First when Rex is telling Anakin he’s never been carbon frozen before, without Obi-Wan even being a part of the conversation Anakin answers that 'it’s a first for US’ too instead of just speaking for himself, and then later, instead of just asking himself as her Master, Anakin tells Plo 'WE were wondering…’, including Obi-Wan even though, considering he’s not Ahsoka’s Master, he doesn’t need to be a part of this conversation at all. Also, if you take a moment to think about how this habit of theirs leads to the heartbreaking scene in the ROTS novelization where Obi-Wan pulls the 'we’ speak with Bail and Yoda, speaking about himself and Anakin, then remembers that Anakin died protecting the temple (or so he thinks) and has to correct himself and make it 'I' instead of 'we’, I think this suddenly becomes an incredibly heartbreaking little gesture.
此外,还有一件事令我相当痴迷——以“我们”的身份说话。这是我能想到的最情侣举动的事情之一了,而安纳金和欧比旺在这几集里做了两次。第一次是雷克斯告诉安纳金他之前从来没有被碳冻过,在欧比旺没参与这场对话的情况下,安纳金回答“这对我们来说也是第一次”,而不是只提到他自己,稍后,安纳金没有以他作为阿索卡师父的身份发问,而是告诉普洛“我们想知道……”,将欧比旺也包括在内,即使欧比旺并不是阿索卡的师父,他完全没必要成为谈话的一部分。同样,如果你想一下,他们的这个习惯一直延伸到《西斯的复仇》小说中令人心碎的那一幕,欧比旺在对贝尔和尤达说话的时候提起了“我们”,指代他自己和安纳金,而随后他想起来安纳金死于保护圣殿(或者当时他这么以为),然后纠正了自己,用“我”替代“我们”,这突然变成了无比令人心痛的细节。
3.The scene where they go to make peace with the Talz in Trespass. Especially the shot of Anakin chuckling as the Talz bearhugs Obi-Wan- stars in my eyes every time I see it. Because it’s not a typical 'as your best friend it’s my privilege to laugh at your expense’ kind of laugh- there’s so much warmth and adoration in it, and so much fondness in how Anakin is taking in the fact that Obi-Wan can go negotiate with a supposedly hostile group that he doesn’t even speak the language of and an hour later not only have come to peaceful terms, but find himself being bear hugged by new friends.
3.他们在Trespass那集(第一季第十五集)与塔尔兹人讲和的那一幕。尤其塔尔兹人熊抱欧比旺时安纳金的轻笑——这一幕每次都能让我星星眼。因为这不是典型的“作为你最好的朋友我有取笑你的特权”那种笑——安纳金的笑容里有太多温暖和爱慕,欧比旺能够跟一群原本敌意满满,甚至无法用语言交流的人和平谈判,一个小时后不仅达成了和平协议,还被新朋友熊抱了,而安纳金是如此喜爱欧比旺能做到这样的事。
But that entire sequence is really fantastic. All Anakin seems to know about the Talz is that they’ve attacked their troops before and seem aggressive now, and with his impulsiveness and the defensive greeting they get from the Talz, it would have been easy for him to assume this had to end in violence, but the second Obi-Wan tells him to back down he does without question, and and he just trusts in Obi-Wan’s ability to talk them through this language barrier or not- and is even so quick to join in and help by drawing the picture that represents their peaceful intentions. Which I think is so representative of how well they work together and complement each other; Obi-Wan says the right things Anakin takes the right actions- The Negotiator and The Hero With No Fear at their best together.
这样的结果的确非常梦幻。安纳金原本只知道塔尔兹人攻击了他们的士兵,而且看起来态度激烈,以他的冲动和见面时塔尔兹人对他们的提防态度,一切对他来说本来可预见将以暴力收场,但欧比旺告诉他要收敛,他就毫无质疑地这么做了,他只是相信欧比旺有能力克服语言的壁垒说服他们——他甚至也很快加入进来,用图画来帮助表达他们的和平意图。我想这很能代表他们彼此合作与互补得有多好;欧比旺来说正确的话,安纳金来做正确的事——谈判家和无畏英雄并肩时是最佳状态。
2.Mortis Trilogy, and lord, where do I even begin? Okay, I’m going to start with the cave scene, and Qui-Gon appearing to Obi-Wan. My personal take on Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan’s relationship is that they have a really strong dynamic of Obi-Wan being like an insecure son desperate to live up to his dad’s expectations, who always worries he’s just not good enough. I believe it’s in one of the special edition Jedi Apprentice books that Qui-Gon himself says Obi-Wan’s greatest flaw is that he cares too much about pleasing Qui-Gon. In the council scene in TPM, Obi-Wan just stands there and takes it and even supports him as Qui-Gon unintentionally humiliates Obi-Wan by basically shoving him out the door for a new apprentice, sending Obi-Wan on his way with 'competent’ being his glowing assessment of him. And Obi-Wan admits himself later that he was hurt and jealous and angry about everything happening with Anakin, but he still didn’t talk back to Qui-Gon about any of it. And considering Obi-Wan was still his Padawan and still just finding himself as an individual when Qui-Gon died, in a way Obi-Wan is likely to have blamed himself for, I think it’s still ingrained in Obi-Wan on some instinctual level that Qui-Gon is his Master and it’s Obi-Wan’s place as padawan to follow his lead. So if there’s anybody who could theoretically hold enough sway to make Obi-Wan question Anakin, it’s Qui-Gon, which is why him being the one to appear to Obi-Wan is a brilliant choice (note- I do personally assume that was really Qui-Gon and not a manipulation like Anakin’s vision was, though I know it’s open to interpretation). I’m not saying Qui-Gon says anything negative about Anakin or is trying to make Obi-Wan doubt him because he doesn’t and he’s not- he still seems to believe in Anakin himself, in fact. But with all of the above in mind, I think it’s still very significant that the last thing Qui-Gon says to Obi-Wan is a warning that if Obi-Wan has any doubt whatsoever about Anakin being The Chosen One, anything but a force for good, then this is a very dangerous place for him to be, because if there’s anyone who could even unintentionally plant that seed of doubt in Obi-Wan, it’s Qui-Gon.
2.莫蒂斯三部曲,天啊,我都不知道该从哪里开始?好,首先,从山洞里,奎刚出现在欧比旺面前这一幕开始说起。就我个人而言,我认为奎刚和欧比旺之间的关系就像是,欧比旺是缺乏安全感的儿子,极度渴望不辜负父亲的期望,总是担心自己不够好。似乎是在其中一本JA特别版官小里,奎刚自己就说过欧比旺最大的缺点就是太想取悦他了。【译注:这句话实际上出现在《绝地传承》中而不是JA。】《幽灵的威胁》委员会那一幕中,欧比旺就站在那,接受甚至支持奎刚无意中贬低了他的行为,基本上为了一个新学徒把他扫地出门,送他离开,评价他是“很有能力”的助手。欧比旺在稍后承认他对安纳金感到受伤,嫉妒和愤怒,但他并没有和奎刚交流这点。鉴于欧比旺还是他的学徒,在奎刚死时刚刚独立,某种程度上欧比旺或许会为此感到自责,而我想欧比旺身上还是存在一些本能,认为奎刚是他的师父,而自己是应该听从他的学徒。因此,理论上,如果有任何人能够动摇欧比旺,让他质疑安纳金,那那个人就是奎刚,这就是为什么他是出现在欧比旺面前的绝佳选择(注意:我个人认为那是真正的奎刚,而不是安纳金在同一时刻看到的儿子操纵的幻象,虽然我知道结论是开放的)。我不是在说奎刚说了安纳金的坏话,或者他在试图让欧比旺怀疑安纳金,他没有,也不是——事实上,他自己似乎依然相信安纳金。但即使如此,我认为奎刚对欧比旺说的最后警告仍然意义重大,如果欧比旺对安纳金是天选之子有任何怀疑,对他的光明有任何疑虑,那么这个地方对安纳金来说就充满危险,如果有任何人能够在欧比旺心中播下这一怀疑的种子,那就是奎刚。
But the next day, Obi-Wan is the one to reassure Ahsoka that no matter what Anakin may have seen, just as they did, he wouldn’t be deceived easily. And then when The Father tries to make Anakin choose between saving Obi-Wan or Ahsoka, Obi-Wan is the one to tell Anakin to use the unknowable, magnificent amount of power the planet contains. Right there is exactly what Qui-Gon’s warning was about- Anakin is more powerful in the Force than any other Jedi as is, and now he has access to a mind blowing amount of power. If Obi-Wan has any doubt about him whatsoever, that’s a terrifying prospect, because what Anakin could do with that much of the Force fueling him on is just unimaginable. But he doesn’t have any doubt whatsoever. First he tells Anakin to save Ahsoka as a precaution, because he knows how it’ll kill Anakin if there really is no other way out and he can’t save them both, so Obi-Wan takes it out of his hands and makes the choice for him, trying to make sure there’s no possible way this can end with Anakin overwhelmed with guilt and hating himself for not being able to save Obi-Wan. But then he’s the one to present this third option to Anakin, believing Anakin will use this power to save them and then be able to let it go, showing absolutely no fear that this could end badly, with Anakin losing himself in it- which I find particularly meaningful since I think, especially after their interaction with the Son, Obi-Wan seems to get that the planet is equal parts light and dark side of the Force and he knows Anakin is going to have to conquer the latter as well by tapping into this power.
但第二天,欧比旺是那个对阿索卡作出保证的人,保证无论安纳金可能看到到了什么,就像他们遭遇的那样,他都不会轻易受骗。接着当父亲试着让安纳金在救欧比旺还是阿索卡之间选择时,欧比旺是那个告诉安纳金去使用这整颗星球蕴含的巨大神秘力量的人。这正是奎刚所警告过的——安纳金在原力中比任何绝地都要强大,而他现在掌握了如此强大的力量。如果欧比旺对他有任何怀疑,那可以预见到可怕的未来,因为安纳金将会如何利用这股力量是他无法想象的。但欧比旺对此毫无怀疑。首先,以防万一,他让安纳金救阿索卡,因为他明白,假如他真的没办法同时救下他们两个,那会让安纳金陷入崩溃,所以欧比旺担下责任,替他做选择,试图确保最终安纳金不会被没救到欧比旺的巨大负疚感压倒。然后,他向安纳金提供了第三种选择,相信安纳金能够用这种力量解救他们,而且能够在之后对这种力量放手,完全不怕安纳金会在这种力量中迷失自己——我发现这一点尤其有意义,尤其是在他们与儿子的互动之后,欧比旺似乎明白了这颗星球同时蕴含了原力的光明面与黑暗面,而他知道安纳金需要用这种力量来征服后者。
And I am pretty much obsessed with the shot of Anakin with his eyes closed, taking a breath and gathering himself as the camera zooms in on him while Obi-Wan is in the focus of the background as he tells Anakin to use the planet’s power. The shot represents to me so clearly how Obi-Wan is Anakin’s center, his strength, how his voice is what grounds Anakin and helps him pull himself together to do this.
我还非常喜欢安纳金闭上眼睛这一幕,深呼吸,聚精会神,此时镜头向他拉近,同时欧比旺是背景中的焦点,他告诉安纳金利用这颗星球的力量。这个镜头在我看来清楚展现了欧比旺是安纳金的中心,他的支柱,他的声音让安纳金集中注意力做到这一点。
And then again with specific shots- Anakin saving Obi-Wan and Ahsoka is in it’s own way very frightening. Anakin is clearly in control of himself, but all the same, the planet is the force and Anakin is the one forcing it to change, these people are the force and Anakin is able to bring them to their knees. It’s one thing to know Anakin is more powerful than anyone else he’s ever seen or even heard of, but it’s another thing entirely to witness it in such an awe inspiring display. And that’s why I love the moment where Anakin is holding The Son and The Daughter in the air, having brought on night and caused the entire arena to light up, and then they specifically have a shot of Obi-Wan staring at him so intently, refusing to look away. We know Obi-Wan believes Anakin is the chosen one, while Anakin questions and doubts that, but this moment makes it very clear that he is, and while it probably terrified Anakin to realize there’s no fighting it anymore, particularly considering the breakdown he had over the title in the Jedi Quest books, Obi-Wan’s not scared at all. And I actually think this moment parallels that scene in JQ I just mentioned really beautifully- as Anakin is essentially having a panic attack over his destiny, Obi-Wan is able to pull him out of it with his vow that he won’t leave Anakin no matter what happens, and I like to think in this moment he’s so careful not to look away because he needs Anakin to know that’s still true- that he’s still with him 100%, no fear, no questions.
接着依然是非常特别的几个镜头——安纳金以一种非常令人生畏的方式救下欧比旺和阿索卡。安纳金显然能够控制住自己,但依旧,这颗星球就是原力,而安纳金是那个强行操纵它的人,这些人就是原力本身,而安纳金能够让他们屈膝俯首。知道安纳金比任何他所见所闻的任何人都要更强大是一回事,但亲眼见证这样令人敬畏的一幕又是另一回事。而这就是为什么我爱安纳金同时将儿子和女儿举到空中,让日夜变化,整个广场都亮起来的这个瞬间,而且他们特别给了欧比旺一个目不转睛的镜头。我们知道即使安纳金自己充满怀疑,但欧比旺相信安纳金就是天选之子,而这一刻清楚展现出他确实是,这一认知或许让安纳金感到恐惧,意识到再也没有否认的余地,尤其是考虑到他在JQ里因为这一身份而情绪崩溃,但欧比旺完全不恐慌。实际上我认为这一刻非常像上面提到的JQ中的那一幕——安纳金因为自己的命运感到恐慌,而欧比旺承诺无论发生什么他都不会离开安纳金,从而安抚了他,我很乐意去想,这一刻的欧比旺小心翼翼,刻意不去移开视线,因为他需要让安纳金明白他说的是真的——他依然100%站在他身边,毫无恐惧,毫无疑虑。
【译注:如果有人感兴趣,小安的崩溃和欧比的承诺在JQ8的结尾。】
Then in 3.16, my favorite bit is of course the A20 scenes at the end, specifically this moment. I raved about why I love it in the tags of that post so I’ll spare you repeating it all here, haha, but basically, DAD FEELINGS, SO MANY DAD FEELINGS.
然后就是S03E16,我的最爱自然是A20相处的场景,尤其是这一幕。在tag里我大声说明了为什么我爱它,就不重复了,主要就是,父女感,如此强烈的父女感。
And finally, 3.17. Usually Anakin is the one in the more protective role, so I like getting a glimpse of it the other way around here with Obi-Wan repeatedly demanding to know where Anakin is, what the Father has done to him, flipping out when he realizes Anakin has gone to confront the Son alone and demanding to know where to find him, then in his own eloquent and restrained, composed Obi-Wan sort of way, basically telling the Father to go screw himself when he tries to keep him from Anakin. I also love when we see Obi-Wan being protective of the relationship he and Anakin share, (ie. Wild Space when he goes on the defensive when Padme accuses him of not loving Anakin, then loses his temper and yells at her for her 'stupid and childish’ POV when she implies Obi-Wan will hurt him while Padme never will) and that’s what this moment is really- Obi-Wan flat out refuses to believe he and Ahsoka have no part to play in Anakin’s destiny or that he can’t help him, even with the Father himself saying so, and he’ll be damned if he doesn’t try.
最后,S03E17。通常安纳金是那个更加有保护欲的角色,所以很高兴能从另一个角度看到欧比旺反复要求知道安纳金在哪,父亲对他做了什么,然后知道安纳金一个人跑去找儿子以后情绪激动起来,质问要去哪里找他,最后,他基本是以自己的那种巧妙、含蓄而沉着的欧比旺风格告诉父亲,如果他要阻止他去找安纳金,那就见鬼去吧。我同样喜欢看到欧比旺对他和安纳金的关系充满保护欲,(比如,Wild Space里帕德梅斥责他不爱安纳金,他表现出维护的姿态,随后还在帕德梅暗示欧比旺会以她绝无可能的方式伤害安纳金时失去了控制,对她“愚蠢又幼稚”的观点大声反驳)这就是这一刻显示的——欧比旺断然拒绝相信他和阿索卡在安纳金的命运中全无作用,或是他不能帮助他,就算父亲这么说了也不信,坚持要作出尝试。
Then, there’s the visions of his future that the Son gives Anakin, which contain a little detail that I find hugely significant, though it may be my shipper goggles clouding my judgment. But here it is- while everything else he shows Anakin is exactly what happens- Sidious using the force lightning, Anakin killing younglings, Padme begging him to stop as he force chokes her- the glimpse he gets of Obi-Wan is very different. The way it actually happens, Obi-Wan delivers the 'You were my brother line’ when the fighting is over, looking and sounding utterly heartbroken. The way Anakin sees it in the vision, Obi-Wan is actively attacking him and looks and sounds absolutely furious. CURIOUS, NO? Considering how often in the novels in particular Anakin expresses worry about Obi-Wan being frightened or disgusted if he sees the darkness in Anakin or knows about some of the things he’s done like the tusken raider slaughter, I think this was an intentional manipulation on the son’s part- because he’s showing Anakin his worst fear being realized in that moment. I also find it interesting~ that the last thing Anakin hears before he falls to his knees in despair, what the Son saves for last as his final blow, isn’t his wife telling him through tears that he’s going down a path she can’t follow, isn’t himself calling her a liar or any of his accusations towards her, not even Sidious informing him of her death- it’s himself screaming I hate you to Obi-Wan.
然后,就是儿子给安纳金展示的未来,包括了我认为意义重大的几个细节,虽然也有可能是我的CP脑发作,滤镜过重。但确实——当他向安纳金如实展现了发生的一切时——包括西迪厄斯使用原力闪电,安纳金杀死幼徒,帕德梅在窒息中恳求他停下——他看到的欧比旺的内容非常与众不同。当它真实发生的时候,欧比旺在打斗结束后说的“你曾是我的兄弟”,无论是看起来还是听起来都极度心碎。而这里安纳金在幻象中看到的是欧比旺发起猛烈攻击,看起来和听起来都非常愤怒。这不奇怪吗?鉴于小说有多频繁写到安纳金害怕欧比旺看到他的黑暗面,知道他曾做过的事,比如屠杀塔斯肯人,害怕欧比旺对此感到惊惧或者厌恶,我认为这是儿子故意为之的——因为他向安纳金展现的是他最恐惧的事物将会成真。我同样觉得很有意思的是——安纳金在绝望中跪下时听到的最后一句话,儿子预备好的最后一击,不是他的妻子含泪说他走上了一条她无法跟随的道路,不是他叫她骗子,或者是任何关于她的指责,甚至不是西迪厄斯告诉他她的死亡——是他自己对欧比旺尖叫我恨你。
And just a couple more little moments in the episode- one, the exchange between Obi-Wan and the Son after Obi-Wan discovers Anakin is now under his sway- the Son smirking at Obi-Wan and telling him 'He’s mine now’? Lol, okay, wow, that is not at all sexually charged or carrying the clear implication that the Son thinks of Anakin as having been Obi-Wan’s up until now. And then there’s the fact that when Ahsoka comes to get Obi-Wan his focus is on getting to Anakin in order to 'rescue him’- not stop him. Obi-Wan is so sure that this isn’t really Anakin and he just needs to be saved, which Obi-Wan has every intention of doing- and when he and Ahsoka find him in his right mind, Obi-Wan has no trepidation over the fact that Anakin allowed the Son to attack him last time they saw each other and was so lost and turning against the Jedi- he just wants to know if Anakin is alright.
这一集中有好几个地方——一,欧比旺发现安纳金被控制之后与儿子的对话——儿子对着欧比旺得意地笑起来,对他说“他现在是我的了”?哈哈哈哈,好的,那真是完全没有性意味,也没有暗示儿子认为直到这一刻之前安纳金都是欧比旺的。接着阿索卡来接欧比旺,他想到安纳金时是要“拯救他”——不是阻止他。欧比旺如此肯定那不是真的安纳金,觉得安纳金只是需要被救出来,这就是欧比旺一心考虑的——而当他和阿索卡找到恢复正常的安纳金时,欧比旺对上一次见面时安纳金允许儿子攻击他、迷失自我、转而对抗绝地都全无疑虑——只想知道安纳金是否平安无事。
And y'know what else is interesting to me? After the Father takes Anakin’s memories of the visions the Son gave him, Anakin doesn’t seem to remember what he did, but Obi-Wan must. And it makes me wonder if in ROTS, now that we know that’s the second time Obi-Wan’s had to see Anakin’s eyes burning sith yellow as he turns against him, if all Obi-Wan could think about was how this is the second time now that Anakin has chosen the dark side over himself and Ahsoka, and maybe he just doesn’t want to be saved, which is why Obi-Wan doesn’t truly try to do so- he’s just too broken to see the point in him trying to pull Anakin back out of the darkness when Anakin has reached out for the dark side instead of to him twice now.
而且你们知道还有什么吗?在父亲抹去安纳金的对与幻象的记忆后,安纳金似乎完全不记得自己做过什么了,但欧比旺记得。这让我想到《西斯的复仇》,现在我们知道那是欧比旺第二次看见安纳金的眼睛变成西斯黄,与他敌对,如果欧比旺只能得出结论,这是第二次安纳金选择了黑暗面,而不是他和阿索卡,或许他并不想要被拯救,这就是为什么欧比旺没有真正尝试去做——他太过心碎,无法看到将安纳金从黑暗中拽回来的意义何在,既然安纳金已经是第二次没有选择他,而是选择了黑暗面。
