Ever since the Kenobi show came out the entire SW fandom now seems to think Obi-Wan Kenobi is the main character of Star Wars. Not Anakin, not the Skywalkers. Obi-Wan. Just because Disney made a big-budget fanfic about him. 🤦🏽‍♀️

#don’t know if I should laugh or cry 😅😭#and no... I'm not saying other characters shouldn't receive attention #in fact...under different circumstances i would not mind at all #but within the context of Disney's terrible and destructive 'sequels'#(which had a decidedly 'anti-Skywalker' bias!!!)#i will always be inherently suspicious of the way Disney portray ANY other SW characters #because Disney NEVER truly acknowledged Anakin Skywalker as the CENTRAL FIGURE OF THE LUCAS SAGA #in fact they tried to pretend he wasn't 'that important'... tried to destroy the ENTIRE meaning of his story #and reduce him to nothing but 'Vader'#so why would I welcome yet another entry into this same madness??#i'm not even getting into detail about my views on Obi-Wan's character here #only to say that I love him dearly #but i love the tragically flawed Lucas CANON version of him #not the 'long suffering saint' idealised fanon version i'm seeing everywhere these days #and the fact is -- no matter how much people like him #he's NOT the central character of the story and never will be #there's a reason it's called the SKYWALKER saga... ffs #anti-disney #or perhaps more accurately #anti-disney sw fandom
