Seeing Obi Wan and Yoda in the original trilogy treat Darth Vader as if he’s some rando to deal with saddens me. Forgetting he has a name, glossing over his legacy, asserting his lack of humanity, constantly telling Luke he must kill him, etc. when he was thrust into the mold by them and wasn’t without reasoning makes the jedi in the original trilogy seem shittier to me than the other movies. My gal Ahsoka wouldn’t do that.
The problem with that chain of reasoning is that Obi Wan and Yoda in the OT didn’t know at the time that they were partly responsible. That story hadn’t been written, yet.
Never thought of it like that. I always thought the prequels were designed with that in mind but didn’t care on the basis that the jedi were Mary-Sue-ish (for a lack of a better way of explaining).
