When did Obi Wan kill his father?
share... from a certain point of view.
shareWell he did chop off his arms and legs and leave him in a burning hot place where the rest of his body was mainly burned...so in a sense he made him, "more machine than man."
shareI always thought it was a bit of a plot hole how Obi-Wan didn't do the merciful thing and put Anakin out of his misery instead of just walking away and leaving him most likely to die a horrible death.
If I remember right, the whole place was getting way too hot and if he had stayed he would've needed robotic parts just like Anakin. Of course there is also the fact that it's to connect to the OT. Honestly I can't really think of a better way to do his needing robotic parts in the OT.
shareObi wan pretty much did kill him
Remember what he told Luke in Return of the Jedi:
Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and "became" the Sith Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true... from a certain point of view.
What he didn't tell Luke is that after chopping all his limbs off he watched him burn, then left to him to die a horrible death. Obi wan still could have saved him at that point. In doing so Padme probably would have lived which would give Anakin even more incentive to turn back to the light. He had only barely just turned to the dark side after being played by a master manipulator. With just robotic limbs and the knowledge Padme and his kids survived there still could have been hope for him. After being burnt alive and placed in a very uncomfortable life support suit, then no he is not coming back from that.
It didn't take him long after he was turned to Vader to figure out Palpatine played him for a fool, and after that he absolutely despised the man. I'm sure he would have figured that out to locked up in a prison cell. After a number of years he could've been offered a deal that in turn for taking down Palpatine he could be exonerated of all his past transgressions, and be reunited with his family. After all that was his job. His very purpose of being was to kill Palpatine
Did Obi wan truly believe in the ancient Jedi prophecy? It would seem not. He screamed at Anakin: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!
If he believed that he wouldn't have left Anakin to die
