dyingsighs:bedlamsbard:alyyks:bedlamsbard:squireofgeekdom:bedlamsbard:“This food tastes terrible.” *STABBITY* “Maybe you’d taste better.”“Hey! What’s going on down there?”“Sorry. Just playing with my food.”THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENES IN THE ENTIRE SHOW.To, uh, no one’s surprise.I have a theory that Obi-Wan-as-Rako-Hardeen is basically just unfiltered Obi-Wan — it’s not like he had a lot of time to get a read on Hardeen as a person, and he acts like an Obi-Wan who 95% of the time just straight up doesn’t give a fuck.  And it’s glorious.  Like, Obi-Wan in his first five minutes in prison stabs a giant shark man through the hand with a fork and threatens to eat him.  AMAZING.I mean, we are talking about the guy who, both times when we see him in a bar in the films, chops someone’s arm off, and in one case literally kills a dude. So. Obi-Wan in general gives very few fucks but sometimes he gives no fucks.This scene would be my starting point for Obi-Wan as a not-Jedi possibly straight up into the Dark Side (or one of them).Because —and I know I’ll have a clearer grasp on that idea after sleeping, with notes and examples and stuff, but— in the detail of his actions, Obi-Wan can be remarkably cruel as you noted.Er. Who let that guy be a Jedi?He is.  And he likes it.  Like, I don’t think that he’s consciously aware that he likes it, but he does take a kind of, hmm, satisfaction from it?  (And to compare to Anakin — I don’t think Anakin gets off on hurting people; he does so as a matter of necessity.  It’s a tool.  Obi-Wan doesn’t necessarily enjoy it, but the possibility for him to do so is there in a way it isn’t for Anakin.)And, you know, it comes up.  He doesn’t get called on it by other Jedi — but Satine tells him straight up that he likes hurting people a little too much for her to be entirely comfortable with it.  And you see it push through from time to time.  In TCW on a fairly mild scale, but then there’s…you know, Mustafar.  Which is probably the single cruelest thing anyone in the series ever does to another individual.The cruelest minus the fact that Anakin slaughtered younglings in the Temple. Of course. -- source link
