I Finished Moon Knight

I finished Moon Knight

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

Obi-Wan giving his Eeopie a treat everyday.

Obi-Wan buying back his stolen part and joking about having it cleaned but not getting mad and paying for it anyway.

Obi-Wan saving up his money to buy little Luke a toy starship.

Obi-Wan giving the clone trooper vet money

Obi-Wan buying Leia fun gloves even though they're on the run.

Obi-Wan realizing Leia is attached to the droid and instantly changing his tune.

BUT ALSO

The Jedi saving the Bartender.

Owen staying silent.

The girl giving Obi-Wan free spice.

Haja not only sending Obi-Wan to a ship to escape but also facing down an Inquisitor.

IS THIS SHOW ABOUT KINDNESS? I'M SO HAPPY.

that one scene where obi-wan tells leia “u don’t need those gloves” and then immediately turns around and buys them for her further cements my theory that he would have been the BEST uncle in another life

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).
