Obi-Wan is the kind of Star Wars storytelling I’ve been waiting for since the Prequels; seeing the fallout from the Jedi’s arrogance and failures. Quick sketch of Reva, the best damn Star Wars villain since Yoda.

For years, I’ve been saying in the context of the prequels, why and how would you ever be able to empathize with the Jedi and how they left the galaxy after the fall of Anakin, their greatest victim.

These are the same people who absolutely trashed the entire galaxy, went into hiding instead of taking any kind of accountability and, opted to gaslight and lie to Anakin’s son to get him to murder his own father because they couldn’t be so bothered.

When confronted with the truth by Luke, Obi-Wan just straight up lies and Yoda tries to go to sleep. Knowing that they were both directly responsible for Anakin’s fall and the fall of the Republic, why would we empathize with them? …Because they told us they’re good?

Fun fact: nothing the Jedi do in the original 6 films is Selfless or heroic. Not a single action. It’s either self-serving for their own agenda, or cleaning up their own messes.

What kind of hero has to *tell* you they’re good?

Certainly not the kind with an army of infinitely replaceable child soldiers.

…How old do you think a padawan is before they take their first life?

I could go on and on about this, but this show has been absolutely great and addressing all of my issues with the Jedi.

Never trust anyone who won’t free slaves, but has no problem buying them.
