Space and time blurred and the void filled with explosions and shards and narrow misses and voices in the Force: his pilots, laughing and swearing and howling to their deaths. He laughed and swore and howled along with them, the silence unbearable. Kill, kill, and kill again, slaughter the starfighters, slaughter the Tuskens, every loss is the same loss, every pain springs from one source. Save Kothlis, save Coruscant, save Padmé. Save them all. Karen Miller
About This Quote

In the Star Wars movies, the space battle scenes are some of the most memorable scenes. The ships flying back and forth, each trying to destroy the other with missiles and lasers, it’s a close call all the time. In this quote, Obi-Wan Kenobi describes a scene from Star Wars: A New Hope, a scene where Obi-Wan is trying to kill Darth Vader while they’re both on board a Star Destroyer. Vader has his own ship and tries to shoot him down.

It’s a long and complicated fight with many close calls. Part of this quote is describing how these scenes can be so suspenseful and thrilling, but another part is about how Obi-Wan felt when he was engaged in such a fight with Vader. He described it as “the silence unbearable” because he knew that he could never win this fight and the only thing left in the end was death and destruction.

Nevertheless, in this moment when everything appears lost, Obi-Wan makes one final effort to kill Vader and save his friends on board the doomed ship.
