Oh man, how I could go on about why Obi-Wan is the best. This is the man who just loves so deeply, who is unfailingly dedicated to duty and is constantly struggling to reconcile the two. This is a man who just tries so hard and yet never lets on just how much he’s hurting. This is a man who is just so GOOD in so many ways. There are so many times he could have given up but didn’t.

He’s also completely ridiculous. I’m having a hard time restricting it to just three but here goes.

#1 – The sass. The flirting. The inadvertent seduction! Honestly, even as Old Ben he was pulling out the charm (although it appeared to be somewhat less effective than when he had the swooshiest of hair)! As long as Obi-Wan is breathing he’s using that silver tongue to try and make things go his way! Also do NOT get me started on the “from a certain point of view” thing AKA “how tiny Crow got hooked on the art of the half truth thanks to Star Wars”.

#2 – The dramatic appearances. Even his “stealthy hooded figure” entrances are completely over the top, like HOW has he ever completed a secret mission (I suspect it’s his stupidly high charisma score see point 1)? And then we have the flippy acrobatics and windswept posing on top of cliffs and… do I really need to go further?

#3 – The way he has absolutely and completely self sacrificing when it comes to those he cares about. He’s willing to give up whatever it takes to make them happy, even at his own expense and never say a word. And then there are the more obvious demonstrations. Here is a cool and composed Jedi Master except oh no, you threatened his loved ones and now he will see your threat ENDED. Zero chill. Internally at least. 

See? Completely ridiculous and THE BEST.

(And I’m sure Anakin would agree with me 100% here)
