It’s a shame. The one upside I thought we’d get out of Obi-Wan and Vader meeting again would be that we’d finally get to see what Vader meant when he said “Obi-Wan once thought as you do.” That’s something that RotS didn’t address properly, so I figured you might as well address it in this show. It wouldn’t be an ideal solution, but it would be something worthwhile. We still don’t have that moment.
Agreed. That was one of my small but too noticeable issues with the show (aside from doing shaky cam in 2:39:1 and the weird-looking lightsabers). We don’t have any moment of Kenobi thinking that Anakin/Vader could really be redeemed. I guess he kind of tried to reach out to Anakin within Vader, but that’s unclear.
I still think “Your mother once thought as you do” would’ve been a better line in 1983 and in every subsequent edition. Give Padmé/mother Skywalker some kind of lingering presence in Vader’s mind.
