Personal Update (and New Icon!):

butterflySo, I am settling into my new digs and my new job (it's the same company, sure, but wow, this place is run differently...) and I feel that I am adjusting. The roommate and younglings don't need terrible much adjusting to, as I'd gotten used to them over time, in weekends and such. Though ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jic is much more social than I am, I must say. I'm the sort who is perfectly comfortable doing all her communicating via the internet, because I do suffer from acute shyness (I'm told that I'm quite good at hiding it, which isn't really a good thing).
I have been, as some of you may have noticed, viciously attacked by the vidding bug. It's taken hold of me and is slowly injecting its poison into me. I'm doomed now.
I've also been bitten by Star Wars. It's the friendship that draws me in the most, which is generally the case. Passionate friendships are my favorite thing in all of fiction. People who understand each other on this deep level and yet who can disagree about some fundamental things, yet never stop caring. When I watched RotS and ANH back to back, the first thing that I was struck by was how these two guys are still attached to each other, after all these years. Obi-Wan has been watching over Luke, keeping Anakin's lightsaber close to give to Anakin's son. Anakin is thrown by sensing Obi-Wan's presence again. Another thing that I love to see are friendships that make each person better. And I do think that it was Anakin who made Obi-Wan into the Jedi that he became, the wiser and older man that we first saw in ANH. Just being around that maelstrom of emotion changed Obi-Wan (just as it did Padme -- Anakin, as a passionate fellow, is very good at getting people to react to him). And I really do think that Obi-Wan was Anakin's thread to holding onto the beliefs of the Jedi -- it's no coincidence that Palpatine spills the beans when Obi-Wan is out of range. And I think that I need to see the movie again. Possibly on Wednesday.
But though I'm distracted by the shiny new toy, I'm still seriously looking forward to SG-1, BSG, and Atlantis in July. And my SG-1 Mirror AU is slowly moving forward (sloooooooowly, like continental drift slow, but moving).
jic --
I have a clip that has Ewan introducing himself, so when you get back from vacation, you'll get to hear him pronounce his name.
*sigh*
In his accent. Which is pretty. So pretty. And there's practice fighting between Ewan and Hayden and it's, again, so very pretty.
Oh, and the cats are still alive.

Date: 2005-06-15 10:39 am (UTC)Hm. :Checks things: In ESB Obi-Wan's name comes up 7 times. 2 from Yoda to Luke, 5 times by Vader, once to the Emperor 'He's just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him.' and 4 times to Luke. 'Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker. Obi-Wan knew this to be true.' and 'Obi-Wan has taught you well.' - Yep, 'cause Obi-Wan's been busy in the past 3 years of being dead. 'Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did.' and 'Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.'
In RotJ Obi-Wan is mentioned 4 times. Once by Luke in conversation with him and the other 3 times by Vader. 'Obi-Wan once thought as you do.' - That there was good in Anakin - right up until the delimbination. 'Obi-Wan has taught you well.' - Again. And 'Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me.', regarding Leia.
Yep, Vader does seem a little preoccupied with Obi-Wan, even at this late stage.

He definitely is, a bit, yeah.
