Visions of Obi-Wan. The comic opens during the last moments of Revenge of the Sith, recreating the well-memed instance when a despondent, freshly-armored Vader cries out with a drawling “nooooooo” over how much he's lost.
To show that he had some remorse. Part of him knew what he did was wrong but he thought it was the only way to save Padme.
Yes, he did. In Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader cried because he realized that the woman he loves, Padme, doesn't “love” Vader, but rather she loves the good person, the hero of the galaxy, Anakin Skywalker. Anakin felt deep guilt, but that guilt was not enough to stop him.
Anakin admits to Obi-Wan that he has been arrogant and unappreciative of his training, and apologizes to his master. Obi-Wan assures Anakin that he is proud of him, telling him that he has become a "far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be."
For years, Vader hated Obi-Wan, having been struck down by his mentor and left for dead while also believing the Jedi had worked to turn his true love Padmé against him. However, there's another, far darker reason Vader hated Obi-Wan so obsessively.
Yes he did. And the saddest thing is that there was nothing he could do about it. He was broken. The first case is shortly after ROTS when Vader was making his Sith lightsaber.
Vader had a great amount of respect for Obi-Wan as a Jedi and their former teacher-pupil relationship. He even referred to Obi-Wan as his “old master” when they fought in their final confrontation.
As he turned to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader, Anakin came to hate Obi-Wan, but never stopped respecting him. In the end, it was Vader who would take Obi-Wan's life, but it was Obi-Wan who would set up the path for Anakin to be redeemed.
The reasoning comes from, not only his fears that he isn't strong enough to defeat Vader after 10 years in hiding but the fact that facing Vader means Obi-Wan will have to face up to his greatest failure.
Even after his brutal scorching in the fires of Mustafar, sand remained the only natural phenomenon that Vader feared. To him, sand was a reminder that he'd failed to save his mother or Padme from death.
What's Anakin/Darth Vader's fear? When he was Anakin, he feared losing the people closest to him, whether it was by distance or death. He did end up losing pretty much everyone close to him, namely Qui-Gon, his mother Shmi, then lastly Padme. It was his fear of never ending loss that drove him to become Vader.
He betrays his closest friend in hopes that, somehow, he can save others. Ultimately, the tragedy found in Anakin's willingness to rebrand himself as Darth Vader is that he betrayed himself. His forfeit of himself surrendered the capability of becoming great without having to concede to the Dark Side.
Anakin Hated Obi-Wan Because of an Imagined Relationship With Padme. Although that couldn't have been further from the truth, Anakin apparently built up a scenario in his mind, which was only heightened by the Jedi Council's obfuscation in other areas.
As seen in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, the protagonist was terrified of facing Darth Vader, mainly because it reminded him of his failure to save Anakin. Obi-Wan couldn't properly fight Vader due to his guilt, which brought out the fear in him that nearly caused his demise at Vader's hands.
Before he discovered Vader had survived Mustafar, Obi-wan lived with the regret of killing his son, brother and best friend. After, he regretted not killing him and wondered if he had only made things worse by pushing Anakin further into dark side and Palpatine's arms.
Yet he kept it to himself, as he didn't care about the Sith or the Force. Although Tarkin didn't believe in the Force, he respected Vader a lot, as he was the Emperor's enforcer, and he even grew to admire Vader's way of inducing fear within others.
Yes, when Darth Vader turned back to Anakin Skywalker and sacrifice himself to save his son, he dies and Obi-Wan uses the force to connect with Anakin's spirit. In that time Anakin apologizes to Obi-Wan, desperately asking him to forgive him for everything he has done to him and everybody over the years.
After defeating Darth Vader in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale, Obi-Wan broke down and began tearing up when he saw Anakin's scars. It was the first time he had seen Anakin's face since leaving him to burn on Mustafar, and so he apologized for everything that had happened.
#1 – Yoda. Yoda is widely considered to be the greatest Jedi of all time, and with good reason. He is a master of the Force, a skilled warrior, and has an unmatched wisdom that comes from centuries of experience. He is the embodiment of what it means to be a Jedi, and his legacy lives on long after his death.
Darth Vader showed no emotion at all when he killed Obi-Wan Kenobi. If you watch the scene carefully, you will see Kenobi pausing. He was letting Vader kill him. Whether Vader knew this at the time, or discovered it later, is an open question.
Darth Vader was friendly at times. It was not unusual for him to shout the bar for the storm troopers. Sometimes, if in a really good mood he would pay for the strippers. Only a few people in the empire knew the big secret, Darth Vader coined the phrase make in rain when galactic credits would fly through the air.
Anakin does not have even the slightest bit of remorse. By the end, he feels nothing but anger. Although he feels regret for killing Padme, he still helps the evil Emperor. The film ends with Anakins standing side by side with the man on whose behalf he has committed all his crimes.
At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan believed that Anakin was dead. Due to Anakin turning to the dark side, Obi-Wan had to face him in a duel, which ended with Anakin losing most of his limbs and being burned by a river of lava.
