How Obi-Wan & Ahsoka Paved the Way for Luke to Redeem Darth Vader

The tragedy of Darth Vader is the central story of the Star Wars film franchise. Luke Skywalker redeeming his father is so engrained in the cultural lexicon that even those who have never seen the film know that plot line. Though audiences were first introduced to this story in the Original Trilogy, chronologically, multiple other people tried to break through Vader’s defenses to bring Anakin back — most notably, his old master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his old padawan Ahsoka Tano.The central plot of Return of the Jedi focuses on how Luke believes he can redeem Darth Vader and bring him back to the light side. It works by itself in the context of the Original Trilogy because those were the only stories available at the time, but at its place in the timeline, Luke would not have been able to bring Anakin back if not for the failed attempts of Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, who both tried on multiple occasions and were unsuccessful.The audience is first made aware of Obi-Wan and Anakin’s relationship in A New Hope, where all the information divulged is that the two are good friends and Obi-Wan shows excellent admiration for Anakin. Of course, the Prequel films showed audiences how those two came to be so connected. Obi-Wan admits that Anakin is a brother to him, but even given how close the bond between the two is, it isn’t enough to stop Anakin’s fall to the dark side after the seduction of Palpatine. Obi-Wan attempts to talk sense into Anakin during their climactic battle in Revenge of the Sith by trying to break down his emotional defenses before being forced to break his physical defenses.Related: One Year Later, Star Wars’ Obi-Wan Kenobi Remains Memorable and Moving
