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.

Just because things seem logical doesn't mean people in those situations act that way. It's easy to say these things as a person from the outside. Many people who say I would do this or that in a situation not seldom act differently if they actually are in that situation.
People have different ways to deal or not to deal with problems, depression etc. You have to lose your filter. Do not think about how you would act or feel in that situation but try to see how the other person acts or feels. Often quite different and eventhough you might be different or you might not understand it, that's the way it is. Accept it.

And I much prefer a slow growth instead of a Mary Sue super fighter from one day to the other. Like I said in my comment before, this is more realistic.
