That can also be explained by loyalty towards a fellow soldier and master. But the movie characters just don’t feel like friends on-screen. They have no chemistry. And they complain about behind each other’s backs a lot.
I’m not a writer or can provide an easy fix, but everytime I see Obi-Wan say “And he was good friend” in New Hope, I always think back at the prequels and think … “really?”.
I mean, I’ve had falling outs with people that I once conidered friends … and they didn’t even mass murder a bunch of kids.
That’s really where the core problem is, I think. Anakin doesn’t really have much of an ark. He was always kind of frustrated and angry and basically had one foot in the door to the darkside from the start of ep2. Obi-Wan seems emotionally tone deaf for not realising sooner Anakin was a bad apple … even though council literally told him they sense “grave danger” in him. But I guess he promised.
