Obi-Wan Kenobi: Duel Against Darth Vader Shows Character Failed as Jedi; understand

[Atenção: spoilers de Obi-Wan Kenobi abaixo]

After a long wait from the fans of Star Warsthe series of Obi-Wan Kenobistarring Ewan McGregorfinally arrived at the catalog of the Disney+. In the third episode of the first season, released last Wednesday, 1, the protagonist clashes with Darth Vaderplayed by Hayden Christensen.

in the mythology of Star Wars, Obi-Wan is a legendary warrior with a lot of strength and skill in combat, as well as having a lot of ways Jedi. However, his arc in the series portrays him as someone responsible for losing his way – and it doesn’t match his other appearances in the franchise.

It is worth remembering how Obi-Wan trained for most of his life, like all Jedi, and became one of the best fighters in the order. As a padawan, the character defeated the Sith Lord Darth Maul (Ray Park) It is like Jedisurpassed the General Grievous (Matthew Wood) and the pupil himself Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen).

although the Jedi have overcome Anakin on the planet Mustafar in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), he proved to be no match for the Sith Lord in the third episode of Obi-Wan Kenobientitled “part III.”

Although this is consistent with the previous chapters, the motivation is at odds with the representations in Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), which show Obi-Wan Kenobi as someone skilled and fighter, despite his age. That is, the Jedi is determined to protect Luke Skywalker at all costs while waiting for the right moment to start training him.
