Not much of a journey for Obi-wan to go through in six episodes. Plus he isnt going through “training” until the last three. Kind of rushed, isnt it?

Still funny how people have an issue with how Rey and Luke were portrayed in episodes 7-9 but defend this show. Hypocrisy is a hell of a thing.

Why do you defend Rey and Luke but have an issue with this show…? That argument runs both ways.

It really seems like you’re looking for things to dislike. I’m not sure why you’re so against it so far when they seem to be ready to answer most of your questions/gripes in the last half of the show.

Grumpy Luke works better than grumpy Obi-Wan. Obi-wan has a mission, he needs to be ready to defend Luke at all times. Why cut yourself off and forget decades of training? Seems counter productive to his mission. Old Luke on the other hand watched the Empire fall and read about how the Jedi fell. He then trained to start the Jedi again and watched the cycle start all over again. He didnt want to start the trend all over again.

Rey’s story was similar to Lukes. Orphan, taken off her planet to help the Resistance ( Rebels), met a Jedi (Luke) and was trained by someone who was a trail away from being one (Leia). She studied the Jedi texts and became a Jedi herself when she faced Palpatine just like Luke did. Reys training was about as long as Luke’s. No one has an issue with him getting a few days of training from Yoda and then teaching himself after that. They dont even have an issue with him creating his own lightsaber. Luke became a Jedi Knight in one year of teaching himself and yet everyone is ok with it.

No one had anything to compare Luke’s path as a Jedi to in 1983. The prequels set the precedent that Jedi training was long. I’m fine with both Rey and Luke’s training. Different times call for different measures.

Obi-Wan has been trapped on a desert planet for ten years watching over a young kid who might be the galaxy’s only hope, with little knowledge of the outside world except for the fact that the Jedi are gone and the Sith are in power. Luke’s uncle won’t let Obi-Wan near the very kid that he’s supposed to train and watch over. He communicates with few people. Now, I know that Kenobi was one of the most powerful Jedi during the Clone Wars, but I can’t imagine that he would stay hopeful and connected to the force for the 10 years he was stuck there, not to mention that he has to hide his abilities and Force sensitivity. It makes perfect sense to me that he lost his connection to and faith in the Force.
