There was no need to make Obi-Wan weak and forget how to do anything in ten years. He is 48 years old not 68. He was a Jedi for 26 years and was one of the best ever.

Hes a broken man

Hes been hiding cut off from the force for 10 years.

Hes scared and in shock that anakin is alive and B... that hes ruthlessly killing villagers for no reason other than to toy with his emotions.

This is obi wan at his lowest point and being completely blind sided.

Keep in mind he wasnt having an easy time with the spice guys in that hallway either

But I thought "everyone" hated Luke when he did the same. Why the change of heart? Why would Obi-Wan change that much in ten years? Why would he of all people turn against the Force? Talk about not fitting a character. The guy watches his Master die in front of him, watches his girl Satine die, watches Padme die, watched Cody and his Clone troopers turn on him, but has a huge issue when his Padawan turns on him? He has a mission to watch over Luke and he wouldn't let his skills diminish and possibly get Luke killed. Plus he wanted to train Luke so why would he still not be training himself?

You did see the conflict he had right? Hes haunted by what happened. Hes scared. Hes clouded, aka cant talk to his late master.

He wants to train Luke, but hes in no condition to do it. Thats clear in his actions and his routine in episode 1 and his lack of skill in episode 2.

What were you expecting. I was surprised he light his saber honestly.

I was expecting someone like in the Kenobi book. A guy who still believes in himself and the cause and who is willing to still help others.

Rescuing Lea doesn’t qualify as helping others? His state of weakness is exaggerated a bit, but I don’t expect him to be the same guy after Revenge of the sith and not using a lightsaber for ten years. He will make a comeback
