Me right now, I love her so much. This also includes Baby Luke too btw

I finally watched obi-wan kenobi (2022) and I just keep thinking about... I keep thinking about obi-wan constantly talking to qui-gon, asking for him in the dark, begging for some sort of comfort from him, even if he never gets an answer. and vader/anakin still calling after obi-wan as he walks away from him again, twisted in hatred and obsession but still so -- desperate for him to hear it.

some part of you never does stop trying to call out for a parent even when all hope is lost, huh.

Obi-Wan: Princess Leia Organa, you are work-obsessed, myopic and have terrible taste in men. These are qualities that come from your mother. But you are also rage-filled, impatient, a bit of a narcissist. And these are gifts from your father. Both were codependent hot messes who bore disaster spawn the fate of the universe hinges on. I wish I could tell you more.

bold baby Leia🍼💗😎

this presents certain...continuity questions

"Quinlan was here?"

Me:

This tweet has me in tears, guys. Fuck fuck fuck

a guy can't even have a praise kink around here

“Are you my real father?”

“No, but I wish I could say that I was.”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

anakin back doing what he does best!!! getting his ass handed to him by obi-wan in a duel and also killing a bunch of children 🙂

My favorite thing about Owen and Beru during that scene is how dirty they fought. Owen dug his hand into Reva’s gut wound and Beru slammed into her head so hard she saw stars😭

Baby Leia was seriously just taking down EVERYONE with that wit of her's during these episodes, she was so vicious despite being only 10

Man she was taking no survivors, even took down her honorary uncle multiple times just based on his age alone XD

Obi wan is probably thinking, "I don't know if this comes from Bail and Breha or Anakin and Padme, either way I can't deal with the 24/7."

I like how the normie consensus about the Kenobi show is that it "fixes" Obi-Wan lying to Luke about his father being dead at Vader's hand as opposed to being Vader himself because "oh Vader told him that and he really believed it" (I don't think this ever needed to be fixed, personally), when from my perspective it makes Ben look like more of a dick because it suggests that he was perfectly capable of killing Darth Vader in the in-between trilogies period and just...didn't for no clear or discernible reason. And in fact pushed off the responsibility onto Vader's own son. Which makes him MORE of a dick.

Look, I can forgive Mustafar. Anakin had just turned, it was an emotional time, and Obi-Wan was not unreasonable to assume nobody could survive that. But a second shot that you walk away from?

They could have made the final fight a little less of an obvious win, or given Obi-Wan a clear and urgent reason to run away before finishing the job (like one of the twins in danger) but instead he just completely overpowers and curbstomps Vader, then dicks off and leaves his former apprentice/murder robot a wheezing mess. If Obi-Wan really does think Vader "killed" Anakin, then he's a shitty Jedi, fullstop. You can have him not be able to let go of Anakin and therefore not have it in him to kill, OR he's completely accepted Vader is just a Sith and a menace and he has to kill. You don't get it both ways.

I enjoyed the dramatic angst of the confrontation as much as the next person, but I am also forced to concede that the entire OT depends on the fact of Luke (and, failing him, Leia) are the only people capable of defeating Vader and the Emperor. The movies just...kind of fundamentally don't work if there's another option, since Yoda and Obi-Wan literally say "there is no other option." This is the Skywalker show.

(In this house we ignore the ST because it's garbage, but I digress)

So what I'm saying is the show is, like most everything in the Disney era, a superfluous and canon-breaking fanfic I'm perfectly capable of enjoying for what it is while fully recognizing it contradicts what the films it's spun off from gave us in the first place.

TL;DR Ben Kenobi never left Tatooine between Ep3 and 4 and that's what I'm sticking with.

What if? my edit I haven't posted it yet in Instagram

the inquisitors: kenobi is a ghost. if he's alive, he's disappeared forever, without a trace.

some random ass jedi: (walking up to obi-wan in the desert) hey kenobi! kenobi! hey there kenobi! nice to see another jedi!

I always felt one of the oddest of Lucas' choices when it came to the prequel trilogy was the very final moments between Anakin and Obi-Wan. I mean, they're probably the best bit in the whole film -

'I HATE YOU!'

'You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!' -

but at the same time they just didn't match their meeting in A New Hope.

Does Darth Vader calmly saying 'I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again at last. When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master,' sound anything like someone reacting to the person who cut off all his arms and legs and sadistically left him to burn to death?

I imagine that it bothered the Obi-Wan Kenobi writers too, and they wanted to correct this grievous error. Because DEAR GOD.
