Oh, argh, I *know*, right? And it's like in *no* way, shape or form could one reasonably call how Obi-Wan chose to (*very* poorly and dishonestly!) "handle" that situation the least bit like he was trying to "reason" with Anakin just then....I mean, yeesh, stowing away aboard a pregnant woman's ship, without her knowledge or consent, then using her to getclose enough to Anakin so's when the time is right Obi-Wan can just step out on the ramp, hands on hips (the Mighty Mouse comparison, incidentally, *perfectly* apt and now I'm reminded of it every time I watch that scene....well, in amidst all my seethings and ragings at Obi-Wan and generally wanting to hurl very large blunt objects at his thick head right about then, aye, quite true-!) - and instead of speaking up and being *honest* about what happened....and so, gee, about the fact that Padme really couldn't have known he stowed away and he'd done that totally without her permission!.... And so instead of course - yeah, he just let her get blamed for it, and so let Anakin - piqued, inflamed, emotionally-volatile and hence rather prone to reacting first and thinking later given the very beyond-the-pale circumstances - rush to impulsive judgement based just on what he saw and how incriminating it very much looked....'twas Obi-Wan, then, who behaved in totally disreputable and dishonourable fashion (and we just know the ancient, true, honourable code-upholding samurai warriors would have a thing or three to say about *that*-!) - and who in no way seemed to harbour any real desire to "reason" things through with Anakin....especially when, in point of fact, just *everything* Obi-Wan was coming up with really *couldn't* help, and served only to further provoke and inflame....fuel to the fire in just *every* sense, then, it's always seemed to me. It is, then, truly like he never *once* stops to ask, and instead he's the one goading and spurring right from the outset.... ....I mean, really, just who was it who first ignited his lightsaber there, and so started the confrontation....? I'm just saying....! (actually, yeah, I could still be saying a whole helluva lot more, but for the sake of blood pressure probably shouldn't.... :) Breathe, yes, breathe, I know....)
