The latest episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi featured a flashback to a happier time in this Galaxy Far, Far Away. Taking us back to Anakin Skywalker's time as Obi-Wan's apprentice, we saw the Jedi Master attempt to teach his student a lesson during a heated lightsaber duel that drove home the fact Anakin has a desperate need to prove himself and win.
That no doubt goes back to his upbringing as a slave on Tatooine and the fact most of the Jedi Council didn't want him to be trained. You have to believe Anakin was left constantly feeling like he had to show them he deserved to be there, and that was ultimately a big part of his downfall.
Fans have been closely studying this scene since the penultimate chapter of Obi-Wan Kenobi dropped on Disney+ this past Wednesday, and a couple of very cool Easter Eggs have now been spotted.
As you can see below, much of this fight reflects Obi-Wan and Anakin's duel on Mustafar. On both occasions, his arrogance got the best of him and ultimately led to Anakin's defeat. Clearly, Kenobi's lessons didn't have the impact on his Padawan that the wise Jedi Master hoped they would.
Another big Easter Egg can be seen when the way Anakin aggressively attacks Obi-Wan reflects the way Luke would, years, later, overpower his father. The difference there was that he knew when to stop and realised that there are more ways to win than by fighting. It's surprisingly heartbreaking when you stop and think about it, but also a very clever nod for what we've seen before.
