Scene in Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Wan is watching Anakin w/ no legs crawl up

Isn't this kind of counter intuitive to Obi-Wan caring about Anakin? He's kind of just watching him fall back towards the lava to burn and die slowly. Isn't that worse than just killing him quick outright after he slices his legs off?

He was no longer Anakin.

From Obi-Wan's point of view. Not from Luke's. For Luke he was always dad. Luke would not have left him to burn and melt.

How willing are you to help someone that just tried to kill you then said he hates you?

Here is the excerpt from the novelization of Revenge of the Sith:
quote:
Obi-Wan looked down. It would be a mercy to kill him.
He was not feeling merciful.
He was feeling calm, and clear, and he knew that to climb down to that black beach might cost him more time than he had.
Another Sith Lord approached.
In the end, there was only one choice. It was a choice he had made many years before, when he had passed his trials of Jedi Knighthood, and sworn himself to the Jedi forever. In the end, he was still Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he was still a Jedi, and he would not murder a helpless man.
He would leave it to the will of the Force.

I mean, Obi-Wan had watched a hologram of Anakin butchering younglings, and immediately after told Yoda he wouldn't kill Anakin.

Obi Wan knew that Anakin was beyond saving, at least to him personally and there was nothing he could do to save him physically as the empire had taken over the nearest medical facilities so it was better to let him die and get it over with.

Anakin killed younglings, which Obi-Wan saw for himself. He disobeyed the Jedi by getting married to Padme AND he killed Mace Windu. Choked Padme to death as well. By that time he was no longer Anakin.

Well it's pretty much the rule of thumb that it's not the Jedi way to kill a defenseless person. Seems Kenobi was following the rules as usual.

Anikan did not kill Master Windu. Palpatine did.

But he was clearly a sith....wouldn't Anakin killing Dooku like he did be breaking that code? Anakin could have still used something force related couldn't he? Palpatine was a frail old man and he still had massive force powers.
It wasn't like Anakin was a normal helpless person.

Did he die when he was thrown out the window or when he hit the ground?
Because I can only imagine what was going through his head during that fall.

It was against the code. Which is why he hesitated to kill Dooku until Palpatine convinced him too. He also used that reasoning to keep Mace from killing Palpatine.

Obi-Wan wasn't able to stop him because he was unconscious after being thrown into the railing.

Obi wan was not feeling merciful, his heart was broken.
Anakin betrayed him in the worst way
Anakin betrayed him in the worst way

That's how we were meant to feel. Except they ruined their relationship throughout the prequels and only acted like they were truly like brothers during the end of III. So much potential was left untapped in this sequence that it's incredibly frustrating.
