Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes 1 and 2! Turn back now if you're not up to date on the new episodes! 

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 2 involved a shocking revelation for the titular Jedi Master – and it has Star Wars fans very upset. 

In the episode, Obi-Wan is cornered by Inquisitor Reva, who tells the Jedi that his former Padawan Anakin Skywalker is alive. Obi-Wan is visibly stunned to hear the news, believing Anakin to be dead after their fateful duel in Revenge of the Sith, which happened 10 years before the show takes place on the Star Wars timeline.

"'He's alive Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker is alive' WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED PLEASEEEEEE" said this viewer.

"Obi-Wan finding out that Anakin is alive is my villain origin story. You can tell he's so relieved, yet so distressed about this news," thinks someone else. 

"Obi-Wan's horrified reaction to discovering Anakin has been alive all this time then cutting to unmasked Vader I'm feeling dizzy," says another tweeter, referring to the dramatic ending of episode 2, which has the internet in a frenzy. 

"Absolute terror in his eyes after Reva tells him Anakin lived," notes another person.

"Obi-Wan finding out that Anakin is alive omg this show is gonna bring so much pain," predicts another tweeter.
