>Ah yes, I remember your father. He slaughtered all the Jedi, even the children weren't spared. He also murdered a Tusken Raider tribe, and choked his pregnant wife to death. We dueled eachother to the death on Mustafar, in which I left him to burn to death in the lava currents below. He survived, and lives the rest of his life in relentless agony trapped in a cybernetic life support suit as the Empire's most brutal enforcer.

Are people trying to meme Obi Wan into being an asshole? He pretty clearly was always an earnest person who wanted to do the right thing. He didn't tell Luke his dad was the number two in the Empire, which to me seems sensible.

There's nothing to meme, Obi Wan is meant to be viewed as a false wiseman, Luke is enraptured by him and the ways of the Jedi, only to discover that he was full of shit. His whole, "from a certain point of view" spiel is meant to show you that he was full of shit. Lucas has said over and over again that people didn't understand the OT, and that's why he made the Prequels, to clarify his intentions. But people don't understand that Prequels either. Obi Wan isn't evil, he's just a shitheel and a remnant of the corrupt Jedi Order. He's not a hero, Lucas even said himself that the OT is a fairy tale where none of the good guys die. Obi Wan dies because he's not one of the good guys.

It's telling that your picture contains the secular-minded Imperials, for you have misunderstood things greatly. Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker became one with the Force, where death has no meaning.

Show me that quote. Lucas has said over and over that he wanted to make the archetypal story, which is a story all human beings inherently understand. Obi wan is the mentor archetype. Quite honestly I think you are arguing your own head canon to become doctrine.

It may take me awhile to find the interview, but I'll find it. It was one of the interviews before The Phantom Menace came out and he was explaining why he felt the need to make a Prequel trilogy.

You're replacing one incorrect position (Obi-Wan dindu nuffin) with another. Obi-Wan isn't an asshole, he was just fundamentally inadequate for the position he was in. His single-minded desire to kill Vader isn't sadism, it's because he feels guilty for failing to stop Vader the first time and thinks this is the only way for him to atone.

He doesn't want to kill Vader though. He refuses to kill him once and then lets Vader kill him when they finally meet again.
>he was just fundamentally inadequate for the position he was in
Quite honestly the Jedi Council are who fucked up, not Obi Wan. They refused to train Anakin, and you can see the resentment on Anakin's face when they say thay he's too damaged and angry. Sidious didn't get Anakin to his side by playing on his hatred of Obi Wan, but on playing on his hatred of the Jedi Council, which really comes down to Windu being a cunt to him the whole time.
The second problem was the fact that Anakin couldn't go to anyone to protect his wife because the Jedi Council would have been pissed he was married, and Yoda's advice when he tried to bring it up was to advise him just to not give a shit. His only outlet was a Sith who told him he could make her immortal.
There's no indication Obi Wan did anything wrong here, except maybe tolerate his padawan's affection for Padme instead of reaming him out and forbidding it, which we can all guess wouldn't have led to Anakin going to Sidious earlier and maybe getting more Sith training earlier on.

Perhaps he sacrificed himself on that occasion because he realised that he wasn't strong or fast enough to best Vader. Then, he used his own "death" to troll the guy, which would distract him long enough for the others to escape.

I don't disagree there. I was taking that into account, that by-the-book Obi-Wan was just incapable of being a good mentor to Anakin in light of the shitty way the Council was treating him. That's not a slight on Kenobi, certain padawans would have benefited from that approach. Anakin just wasn't one of them, and he needed someone like Qui-gon to teach him.

If that Troops fan film is to be believed- domestic violence. The boys in white tried to resolve things peacefully, but even trained soldiers couldn't stop her once she activated an entire satchel of thermal detonators. Poor Duke probably doesn't know what happened to his aunt and uncle.

EU comics written after TPM makes Jedi Council's hypocrisy even worse since Ki-Adi Mundi had *20* wives and multiple children. No wonder that Anakin wanted to become Jedi Cóuncil member so badly when the position apparently allowed you wipe your ass with the whole celibacy code.

It's still retarded and something Sheev was sure to use to convince Anakin. It showed that Jedi Council was willing to throw their principles out of the window whenever it was convenient to them and made their ostracism against Anakin more glaring.

Maybe Anakin was aware of it, hence his further dislike of the Jedi. In the end it was Windu who pushed him too far by taking justice into his own hands. Not to mention the jedis actions throughout the clone wars turned them from protectors and monks into military overlords and corrupt politicians. Even Dooku was disgusted by it.
