Fans Weren't Prepared For This Obi-Wan Kenobi Part V Scene To Make Them Teary-Eyed

"Obi-Wan Kenobi" Part V is a fairly contained episode of television, one that revolves around the conflict that breaks out between the Empire and a small assortment of Rebels after the latter group's secret base is discovered.

The conflict leads to more than a few tense, nerve-racking moments, including several stand-offs between Obi-Wan and the Imperial Inquisitor known as Reva (Moses Ingram). The episode also, unfortunately, sees both Tala (Indira Varma) and her trusty droid sidekick, NED-B, die while trying to fend off the Empire. According to the discussions happening online, "Star Wars" fans were surprised by just how emotional they felt about NED-B's death in particular.

On Reddit, u/IniMiney touched briefly on NED-B's sacrificial death in "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Part V, writing, "That legit made me tear up tho [sic]." In the same Reddit thread, u/Orr-bit noted, "The second I saw NED-B on the front lines with even Obi-Wan behind it, I knew it was over. But NED-B went out strong." Elsewhere, on Twitter, @wizardjarin tweeted, "I'll never forget Tala and NED-B," while @wizardsjedi drew a comparison between Tala and NED-B and a similar duo in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," writing, "Tala and NED-B's relationship reminds me so much of Cassian and K-2SO... I am not okay."

Taking all of these reactions into account, it seems safe to say that NED-B managed to capture the hearts of a lot of "Star Wars" fans despite having a fairly small role in "Obi-Wan Kenobi." As a matter of fact, NED-B and Tala's deaths likely rank as two of the saddest moments featured in the first five episodes of "Obi-Wan Kenobi."
