In between all of the big, epic moments in ROTS, sometimes there is a moment of just a few seconds that surprises me in its subtle but emotional intensity. Right after the Mustafar duel, Obi-Wan is headed toward Polis Massa. He puts his head in his hand and looks absolutely stricken and exhausted. This was such a profound moment. His closest friend has turned to the dark side, and Obi-Wan has just seen him burnt to a crisp and believes that he has killed him. He must feel the most betrayed he has ever felt. Obi-Wan is usually in control of his emotions and reactions and always recognizes that his duties have priority; he is the textbook Jedi. But when he expresses his emotions in such a manner, it reminds us how deeply he has been affected. I think that Ewan McGregor really pulled off this moment effectively. It strikes a great balance in Obi-Wan's personality, and it makes Obi-Wan seem more impressive to me, in that, despite this great pain, he still lives on in a dignified manner and does what he must.
