I don't believe he manipulated Luke. I actually do see it as an I Did What I Had To Do moment. It's my head!canon that Obi-Wan never forgave himself for not killing Anakin/putting him out of his pain and misery, and convinced himself that what he was doing was right. *sniffle* Poor, poor Obi-Wan. *Hugs him tightly as well*

Teehee. :D Well, it's only at 6 chapters and OCs to feature prominently (thought they're mostly villains, mwhahaha). I'm having an awful lot of fun writing it.

Of course it makes sense! It's like me, but in reverse. I'm more Anakin than I am Obi-Wan, but I sympathise with Obi-Wan. I think maybe it's the whole "opposites attract" thing, or something... ^_~
