George Lucas isn’t good with dialogue, and the prequels definitely suffer from some subpar dialogue (any of the dialogue between Anakin and Padme for example).
It’s also perfectly clear Anakin and Obi-Wan had a close relationship, look how devastated Obi-Wan is when Anakin turns to the dark side.
Their relationship is even referenced in the original trilogy as being close. Not sure where the other poster is getting his ideas from.
I agree that a lot of the dialogue is bad. I don’t think this is a good example though. Quite the opposite, it’s a great scene. Anakin apologizes sincerely, effectively conveys his emotions and why he’s feeling the way he is, then both men tell each other how much they value their friendship. It’s some great emotional maturity and honesty.
I think we could use more dialogue like this in movies and the real world, maybe we don’t have enough of it and that’s why it comes off as “cringey” to some.
