Afterwards, Kenobi goes to speak with Anakin Skywalker, who is working on his starfighter. Skywalker complains that the other Jedi are unwilling to acknowledge his skills; Kenobi retorts that his skills are never in question, but his willingness to follow orders and recognize his place are. Kenobi offers a terse "May the Force be with you," before leaving Skywalker to his ship.
