I was too, but only because of how I felt about them from the OT. Was this the same for you?
The pT honestly does nothing to convince me Obi and annie were Good friends, padme, only the sincerity in Alec Guinness' words could do that... In fact, it's only from obi-wan's side that their friendship is at all believable.
It had to have been the bad acting during their supposed "best friend ever" scenes. (Points finger at Hayden, wherever he is.)B ecause I just wasn't feeling any of it, no where near as strongly as the "I hate you!" craziness was. But once again, from an actor in Obi-wan's Jedi robes, the emotional connection is made crystal clear through body language, intonation, and exactly what he says, "You were like a brother, Anakin. I loved you" I believe you Obi, since you're so cool, but I really wish I could have witnessed this brotherly love.
Luke and Han could muster up an sort-of old chum relationship that really came through because of MH's boyish spirit mixing up with the mature, manly stature that Harrison ford personifies to the last letter.(Plus they keep saving each other's lives which lucas tried to squeeze into the PT through RotS after fumbling the ball by simply mentioning all the life-saving
good friendship type stuff... ) If only...I was drinking some mountain dew while watching Anakin cry about turning evil and then later burning, it's his story, that's how it ends, but after finishing my dew, I felt more for Obi-wan and how screwed he and his kind were. I wish he were the chosen one instead.
