As such, a great many nods and teases towards his inevitably tragic fate were always destined to be laced into the trilogy, with the debuting of characters like General Grievous acting as clear tips of the cap to Skywalker's robotic future.

Yet, a moment of foreshadowing that was given a bit less spotlight - in a figurative sense, at least - went down during a seemingly throwaway exchange between master and apprentice partway through the third Episode.

In what would actually turn out to be the last conversation the pair would share before Anakin's decision to fully turn his back on the Order, the decision was clearly made to have the former be cloaked in shadow. While the future Ben can be seen basking in the daylight, giving us another visual hint at the difference in path the two were set to walk in the time that would follow.

And Kenobi's "Goodbye, old friend," also carries a ton more weight with said words being some of the last he'd speak to his padawan whilst fighting for the same side.
