Obi Wan: *meets Leia*

Obi Wan: *meets Leia*

Leia: *hits him in the stomach* *talks back to him* *tries to take charge* *rushes off into danger* *calls him old* *defies him in the name of making bold fashion choices*

Obi Wan: oh that is definitely Anakin and Padme’s daughter. 

cannot emphasize enough just how much i ADORE that the obi wan-leia dynamic consists of only about ten minutes passing before obi wan is speaking to her in his “anakin for the love of fucking god PLEASE” voice and only about ten minutes more before leia gives him a goddamn heart attack

I can’t be mad that the Inquisitors seem to have figured out who Darth Vader really is because the show explains exactly how it happened:  They’re all vying to be the one to bring Obi-Wan Kenobi in, they’ll literally stab each other for the chance to be the one to impress Vader, which means that Vader is just as obsessed with Obi-Wan as he ever was, and no former Jedi turned Inquisitor can hear Darth Vader talk about Obi-Wan Kenobi, can hear him bring up Obi-Wan in every single goddamned conversation like he does in the movies despite that nobody was fucking talking about him, and not get smacked in the face with it like a giant wet dish rag like “ohhhhhh I have heard this monologue before, goddammit, that’s fucking Anakin Skywalker, isn’t it, isn’t it”.

I finished Moon Knight

One thing I’d like to see in SW media is the presence of more fully adult padawans. Obi-Wan was 25-26 in TPM and nowhere is this implied that it is abnormal. In AOTC, Anakin is 20 and mentions that he wouldn’t be the youngest to take the trials successfully, implying that taking the trials at his age isn’t exactly common. But sometimes it feels like being elevated to knighthood is presented like graduating from high school or something. I like the idea of an extended apprenticeship not just to make sure a Jedi is “good at the Force” or whatever, but to make sure they’re able to prove an ongoing, steadfast commitment before they devote their whole life to the order. It also gives them plenty of time to decide if they want to leave to get married or do something else with their life. It shouldn’t just be about raw power.

It still kind of annoys me that the actress who played Barriss in AOTC was about 24 at the time but the writers chose to age her character down to a teenager for TCW (Not to mention other annoying things about what they did to her character but that’s a digression).

star wars found the formula of "tired old man who's struggling with God takes care of a spoiled child" and they're not ever letting it go and you know what they're correct obi-wan and baby leia are the absolute peak of this dynamic
