How ObiWan Found Out Darth Vader Survived Their Mustafar Duel in Star Wars

In Star Wars’ most tragic sequence, Darth Sidious executed Order 66 and framed the Jedi for the entire Clone War. Hours later, he sent his apprentice to Mustafar with the explicit orders to annihilate Viceroy Gunray and his Separatist Council. Those two actions solidified Palpatine as the sole authority in the galaxy, but Yoda and Obi-Wan had a final move to make before accepting their defeat.

Because it featured the two most powerful beings in the galaxy, Yoda and Sidious’ duel was a bit of a disappointment, but it still served its purpose. Yoda couldn’t overcome the Sidious’ darkness and had to flee. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan won his fight with Darth Vader and left his former apprentice for dead on the lava world of Mustafar. After that, Obi-Wan assumed that Vader had perished, but it wasn’t long before he learned the truth. Here’s how Obi-Wan discovered that Darth Vader survived.

How ObiWan Found Out Darth Vader Survived Their Mustafar Duel in Star Wars

By A New Hope, Obi-Wan is familiar with Darth Vader and his tragic identity as Anakin Skywalker. For decades, their confrontation on the Death Star was the first time they met since their fateful duel on Mustafar. Of course, Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series will be retconning that, showing a new fight between the two classic characters in 9 BBY.

However, that doesn’t answer the question of how Obi-Wan found out that Vader was Anakin. It’s possible that he won’t put two and two together until he meets Vader in person and feels the Dark Lord’s presence in the Force. In fact, the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer may have shown the very moment. Near the end of the latest trailer, a close-up of Obi-Wan showed a mixture of disbelief, fear and guilt. And some fans have decided that that’s when Obi-Wan felt the full responsibility of letting Anakin live on Mustafar.

If that is the case, it will be an iconic moment in Star Wars canon, but the moment happened a little differently in Legends continuity. In Legends, Obi-Wan found out that Anakin survived shortly after giving Luke over to Owen and Beru Lars in the final pages of a Star Wars novel by James Luceno called Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader. Owen and Beru had gone into the town of Anchorhead, and Obi-Wan covertly followed them. As they shopped in various stores, Obi-Wan went into a cantina, and as he was having a drink of water, he saw a report on the HoloNet. It was about a band of Jedi dying on Kashyyyk, and then he saw that Darth Vader was responsible for killing them.

That news nearly sent Obi-Wan into a panic attack. He fell into a daze and knocked over his table. People started to stare at him, but luckily, someone bought him a drink to settle him down. When Obi-Wan had caught his breath, the man warned him that Vader was bad news. The man was correct, but he had no idea just how right he was. Clearly, learning about Anakin’s fate thew Obi-Wan for a loop, and if that holds true in the new canon, Obi-Wan’s meeting with Vader in the series will be one to remember.

To see Obi-Wan confront Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on May 27.
