I recall Obi-wan saying "don't let your personal feelings get in the way" So Obi-wan had to kill Anakin. But he left Anakin to die rather than to finish him off because he was like a "brother" to him. He broke his own words.
The Jedi Order beleives you can shove emotions under the carpet, which is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. That is why so many bad things have happened because of the anti-selfcounciousness rule.
Yup. It is because of the Jedi's belief that you should let go of your feelings that Anakin turns. If they had let Anakin be open about his feelings for Padme I don't believe it would have happened.
^Exactly, you can almost not blame him for turning.

But the marriage wouldn't have been secret, which would have taken alot of stress from them, and Anakin could have gotten some useful advice from Yoda, not hypocricy.
Would there of been a death? I thought she died of a broken heart. The Med. droid said her body was perfectly healthy at the time of and after birth. So, if Anikan hadn't of been so angry, stressed, and what not about the relationship I think he wouldn't of turned. Him expressing his feelings could of prevented his betrayal of the jedi and in turn, prevented Padmes death. There would of been no death to forsee. Does that make sense to anyone? That's how i see things in my head right now.

The wait now ends.
From four corners smoke plumes into a reddened sky.
In the face of lantern light, Tonight my destiny lies.
This day so hallowed, from here to forever its will I will follow.
Tonight will come to life.
Deadened branches stirred by the whispers in the wind.
Fall Children fill the streets at dusk, at last, it all will begin...
But, the fact that he did foresee her death of a broken heart shows that it was an inevitable part of the future. He was always going to turn.
Its his fault but there were many contributary factors as always
Who cares if obi wan didn't kill him!
IF he had, the galaxy surely would have remained under the emperors rule since luke would never be strong enough to defeat him.
Maybe it is even possible that obi wan saw anakin destroying palpatine and decided not to finish the job? He never actually says to any one the he knew he was dead.
And yes the jedi ways during the republic were not right. They detracted so much from the original ways that it almost destroyed them.
good shout that man.
I dont understand why everybody thinks its cool to pick faults with obi-wan. Anakin was the arrogant, petulant and eventually evil one, not obi-wan.

He didn't let his personal feelings get in the way...he finished him...andd thought he would die.....that it didn't work that way Obi Wan couldn't know....and he is allowed to have feelings its not possible not to have them you see Yoda has feelings for his feellow Jedi and for Chewbaca and others, b ut he is still á great Jedi Master......Feelings are not at all that bad just where they get in the way like theay did when Ani was in "love" with Padme.
