Something that a friend pointed out was that the purge trooper and crosshair have a DC-17 hand blaster. Now this wouldn’t immediately point to Crosshair being the purge trooper, since we still haven’t fully analyzed the equipment that the purge trooper has. Thanks the Force for how he changed because of Anakin for better, because TPM!Kenobi would probably see clones more like “pathetic (yet useful) forms of life” than the brave man who deserves all respect and care that was denied to them once.

His arrogance and lack of empathy and mindset & values comes from Jedi Order. And here I want to say this: Obi-Wan is not a bad person nor a villian. At the same time, I always feel like his character is pretty passive when it comes to saving clones - beyond the common kindness and civilized conversation, Obi-Wan can be apathic, or worse: ready to sacrifice people (including himself) for greater good. It’s his POV that gave us, the readers, background details about clone troopers and acknowledge their battle skills and dedication to Republic and Jedi. Kenobi is usually presented as the aware one about racism & prejudice toward clones and I dare to say, has positive & friendly contact with his troopers (especially Cody in that case). I went with those two books, to show how narrative differed in showing Anakin’s and Obi-Wan’s relationship with clones. His POV feed us with vital informations about clone situations in war, but it’s Anakin who in active way keep an injured clone alive. Here, Kenobi’s role is absolutely passive. He didn’t showed any interest or desire to help.

Then, despite thinking how life of every clone was vital and how battlefield casualties were on the rise and treated as high priority, Kenobi did nothing. Kenobi can’t look at clones without remembering Jango Fett but similar like Mace Windu and Dooku, he seems to think about dead bounty hunter only through the experience of a short meeting while Anakin wondered about Jango’s human side, and thus how much clones could be similar to him. From his POV we know that Anakin is busy with injured clone, troopers are busy shoting down enemy, while Kenobi - senior commanding officer - is occupied with A) memories of Jango Fett and B) how “battlefield casualties were on the rise and treated as high priority.” Those two things give an interesting contrast to Anakin.
