Episode 4 did Obi-Wan Kenobi completely dirty. In the first three movies and The Clone Wars, we see that he’s an honourable, compassionate, brave person. He killed Darth Vader and left him for dead. By all rights, he should have continued to fight for the rebellion instead of moving to a desert and being alone for 20 years.

You expect me to believe after being a general in the Clone Wars and defeating multiple Sith, Obi Wan proceeded to do absolutely nothing while the emperor oppressed everyone? As soon as he heard Darth Vader was still alive, he should have hopped on his ship and gone to kill Anakin! The version we see in A New Hope is an old loser hiding from his own mistakes in the desert.

Obi Wan is supposed to be determined, a warrior, someone who always accomplishes what he sets out to do. Not a coward! I grew up with the original trilogy, and these new movies completely ruined my childhood. Why did George Lucas feel the need to crap all over us Obi-Wan fans who loved his original three Star Wars movies? And all in the name of sUbVeRtInG eXpEcTaTiOnS


This is a joke about The Last Jedi.

    I have never found browbeating people into enjoying something that they don’t to be a successful strategy.

    Discussions about why you enjoy something are more successful and simply more positive than trying to ‘gotcha’ people by clawing at them for enjoying/not enjoying something.

    There is nothing wrong, and nothing that makes someone a lesser or greater fan about liking or disliking certain parts of a franchise.

    I do not like discussions made wholly for the purpose of fan infighting.
