That is EXACTLY how I always read the scene - it surprised me after watching it to get on LJ and see all the Obi-wan hate. I kept thinking, "did I miss something? He was heart broken... "
He loved Anakin and it broke his heart. :(
I confess I have mixed feelings about Anakin ... I tend to watch films and ask myself, 'would I like/forgive/care about this character is he/she was a real person?" when I probably shouldn't. I think if it was a 'real life' story that I read, say on the news, I wouldn't have sympathy for him because of the younglings. I know that's not the way to watch a film but there you go. (It doesn't just end with SW, I'm that way with everything. For example I don't get SNape love - fascinating as a character but I think the way he treats his students is deplorable and so ... )
Man, I swear I didn't mean this to turn into a debate here ... I think I'm PMSing ... I'm sorry!
