Anjohan, if I make make another suggestion to consider, I was also put off a bit by how Obi-wan was acting so depressed that he couldn’t even help Leia if he wanted to. Saying he’s “not that man anymore” type of thing, and then utterly rejecting Bail’s first offer to help her. I don’t at all have an issue with the idea that he feels his responsibility is to Luke and that he can’t leave him, but they first made Kenobi say that he is too weak to help, so then when he talks about his responsibility to Luke instead it feels more like an excuse instead of a real reason.

The idea that he has to choose between which one of Anakin’s children to protect is an awesome, heart wrenching decision. But they wrote it in such a way that at first he seemed more like a cowardly loser than someone with a huge burden to bear. His struggle around leaving Tatooine should be around the fact that he committed to Luke, not that he feels he is too weak to even confront run of the mill bounty hunters. He is Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi who defeated Vader in 1v1 combat, I get that he hasn’t wielded the force for a decade and has been in hiding, but they did not show enough about his life to explain why he can’t even confront mercenaries to save Anakin’s daughter…

The fact bothered me, and even my wife who isn’t as much into Star Wars as me piped up and said “That’s not Obi-wan, why wouldn’t he help Leia?” when he turned Bail down for that reason in the first call. What do you think about that? I say it would greatly benefit his character if you remove some of those overly cowardly lines in favor of his lines about needing to protect Luke.
