It's also notable that Vader clearly seemed to let Obi-Wan go at the end of the episode. The fire was only an impediment because he let it be. Was that decision made to prolong the chase and Obi-Wan's own suffering? Or was it to allow Obi-Wan to strengthen himself over time and become some kind of worthy challenge? Or the admittedly less likely choice (given how far down the dark side path he has gone), does he have a hint of humanity left in him for an old friend?
