What Darth Vader's “Now I Am The Master” Line Means After Kenobi
Warning: Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3.
Based on Obi-Wan and Darth Vader’s duel in Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3, Star Wars may have just changed the meaning of one of Vader’s iconic lines. During Star Wars: A New Hope, Obi-Wan and his friends were trapped on the Death Star with Darth Vader. Although Obi-Wan had a plan for their escape, Vader sensed Obi-Wan’s presence and found him. Just before their final duel, Vader stated, “The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, but now I am the master.” Not knowing that Obi-Wan could communicate with Luke Skywalker after death, Darth Vader killed Obi-Wan and believed that his assertion had been correct.
However, Obi-Wan Kenobi revealed that Obi-Wan and Darth Vader had already fought each other before their encounter on the Death Star. During Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3, Obi-Wan saw Anakin Skywalker as Darth Vader for the first time. To protect Leia, Obi-Wan drew Darth Vader away from her hiding place. Inevitably, the former master and apprentice had a lightsaber duel, but it was not an even match. While Vader had grown stronger, Obi-Wan had not used his lightsaber in years. Due to this, Darth Vader was able to overcome Obi-Wan, and Tala, a double agent in the Empire, had to rescue him.
This incident in Obi-Wan Kenobi seems to contradict Darth Vader’s statement in Star Wars: A New Hope though. Before the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader and Obi-Wan’s confrontation on the Death Star made it seem as if the two had not seen each other since their duel on Mustafar in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. However, Obi-Wan Kenobi proved that Obi-Wan and Darth Vader saw each other at least once before Star Wars: A New Hope. This gives new meaning to Vader’s “now I am the master” line, creating implications for Darth Vader’s powers and future events in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Darth Vader not calling himself a “master” until Star Wars: A New Hope suggests that he did not consider his training complete until he was able to kill Obi-Wan. Given that Anakin lost to Obi-Wan on Mustafar, he did not immediately become more powerful when he turned to the dark side of the Force. Instead, he had to strengthen his connection to the dark side over time by continuing to feed his hatred and cause pain and suffering. Anakin started this journey by killing the younglings in the Jedi Temple during Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and Darth Vader continued the process in Obi-Wan Kenobi by randomly attacking civilians on Mapuzo. By the time Star Wars: A New Hope occurred, Darth Vader finally considered himself superior to Obi-Wan, prompting him to declare that he was now “the master” between the two of them.
In addition, Darth Vader’s line in Star Wars: A New Hope suggests that he and Obi-Wan will duel again in Obi-Wan Kenobi. In Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3, Obi-Wan clearly lost their first fight, only surviving because Tala and the mining droid, NED-B, saved him. If this was Darth Vader and Obi-Wan’s only battle during Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader should already consider himself greater than Obi-Wan. However, Vader’s line makes sense if the two fight again, and Obi-Wan wins – without killing Vader – and successfully escapes with Leia. This is supported by the fact that both Obi-Wan and Vader were still alive in Star Wars: A New Hope, and Obi-Wan was watching over Luke on Tatooine again. While Darth Vader’s “master” line may initially seem to contradict the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi, it actually reflects the development of Vader’s powers and foretells another duel between Obi-Wan and Vader.
