Warning: MAJOR spoilers ahead for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 2! Turn back now if you haven't seen the new episodes on Disney Plus! 

Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 2 ended with a huge moment – and Star Wars fans can't believe their eyes. 

The episode saw Obi-Wan trying to rescue a young Leia Organa from kidnappers on the new planet Daiyu. It turned out to be a trap set by Reva, an Inquisitor on the hunt for Obi-Wan – and towards the end of the episode, she had the Jedi cornered. Before he managed to escape, though, Reva revealed to his considerable shock that Anakin Skywalker is alive.

The episode ends with Vader floating in a bacta tank, yellow eyes on display and a breathing mask strapped over his mouth and nose. We hear that iconic mechanical breathing as the screen cuts to black. 

Naturally, the internet is losing it over the moment. 

"The ending to part 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi, I can't right now OHMYGOD" says one person. 

Another tweeter is overcome: "EYO THAT ENDING HAS ME WILDING HYPE FOR EPISODE 3 OF OBI-WAN KENOBI HOLY SHIT"

More people are that excited, too: "THE ENDING OF OBI WAN KENOBI EPISODE 2… ABSOLUTE CHILLS"  

"THAT ENDING TO EPISODE 2 OF #ObiWanKenobi OMGGGG The first 2 episodes were amazing. And the 3rd one is going to be even better…" predicts someone else. 

"The first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi were quite the emotional thrill ride. Episode 1 was perfect in every aspect whereas episode 2 had several pacing issues but the ending stuck the landing resulting in one of the most spine chilling moments in all of Star Wars," is another viewer's verdict.

"Seeing it jump from Obi Wan saying "Anakin"… to actual Vader/Anakin in the bacta tank. I squealed. Thought we'd get Vader shown breathing and looking through a star destroyer window. But this is even better jsjsjs," says someone else.  

"I CANNOT DO THIS. THE ENDING OF EPISODE 2 IS SICK" is another person's thoughts. 

"Oh my god.. those first two episodes of #ObiWanKenobi were absolute GOLD. So many unexpected scenes and a character that I thought I had seen the end of makes quite a delightful surprise. I can't believe this show is real. THAT ENDING FOR EPISODE TWO THOUGH," thinks another person. 

The next episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi is arriving on Disney Plus in less than a week – check out our Obi-Wan Kenobi release schedule to find out exactly when. 

In the meantime, for much more on the series, see our interviews with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen on their favorite memories filming the show and how their characters' relationship has changed, as well as Christensen on why he didn't speak to George Lucas before returning as Darth Vader and Moses Ingram on playing the galaxy's newest villain, Reva.
