He got his ass handed to him by a Padawan, turned crazy cyborg and then got run through by the same guy that handed his ass to him 30 years earlier. <br /><br />I think the best part of the prequels has got to be Obi-Wan. It shows his entire career as a skeptical youth turned unready teacher to mentor to brother in arms. He took the boy, trained him as best he could and corrected his mistake when he saw Anakin was lost. All the while never actually chosen him to begin with.j-swinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203258976327949472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-68609308841948189742017-09-10T14:41:12.795-07:002017-09-10T14:41:12.795-07:00all quite excellent but i'm just inclined to t...all quite excellent but i'm just inclined to turn my nose at any fan art that includes stuff from the pre-quels unless it's Darth Maul who has to be one of the coolest under used on screen characters of all time.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.com
