Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker insists the listener's fate is bound up with theirs, presenting it as settled rather than offered. Citing Obi-Wan as having known it adds pressure, as though the claim were already confirmed by someone else. The tone is persuasive and commanding at once.
