obi-wan has Just Some Guy disease, in that he’s literally just a dude and everything galaxy-changing that happens near him happens because he’s adjacent to god’s stupidest skywalker. imagine you were a regular man and you were suddenly saddled with an unmanageable creature of cosmic power that’s also a human person with human needs, couldn’t it have been so much worse than your little creature killing you and everyone you know and also most other people? it could have been so much worse. obi-wan listens to space podcasts and folds his socks and has opinions on space jazz, and he has to raise a part-manifestation of arcane life power that’s gifted in nine directions and still somehow exclusively capable of making the worst possible choice. obi-wan has a minivan and his sonbrotherboy sleeps in the back of it receiving prophecies from the semi-sentient ever-present all-powerful ether. i think, all things considered, a guy who probably irons his boxers raising tween human-shaped cthulu could have gone a lot worse. maybe we got off a little easy, all things considered. only a lot of people died.
