Your mother is problematic. Your father is problematic. Your son is problematic. Your aunt is problematic. The cashier at the local Tesco is problematic. You've probably bought a cookie from a bakery made by hands that have done unspeakable things. Every chocolate bar you've ever eaten has probably killed a 7 year old child slave in Cameroon. The gas that drives your car is fueled by engines of death. Every person who has ever smiled at you in the streets has committed some act that if you knew about it, would make you profoundly dislike them.
We have all been bad, small, petty, unlikeable, cruel, downright mean. Authors are not special "problematic" beings, they're just more public. Part of being an adult is recognizing that without mercy for our fellow human beings, and ourselves, we'd all be condemned to death. Reading fiction should help us understand that we're all irreparably tainted with evil, every system is corrupted, every line is broken.
And like, that's okay. That's what it means to be alive.
This probably being the first time Damian interacts with kids his own age (at least non-assassin’s ones) in a non-dangerous context. He doesn’t know how to PLAY he makes me so sad ☹️
Im talking specifically how Obi-Wan fights Vader and breaks one side of his mask and then gasps in sadness/disbelief, "Anakin." Literally the exact same thing that happened to my girl Ahsoka lol
As cool as this is, I will forever be annoyed that it's basically the exact scene Ahsoka n Vader went through in Rebels. And because this is live action, people praise the hell out of it despite the scene being copy and paste of a show that came out in 2015
Obi-Wan and Darth Vader’s lightsaber duel from the Kenobi series finale really was the rematch of the century that it was hyped up to be.
Still love how their lightsabers are essentially the only source of light in such a barren landscape. Visually was such a cool and symbolic choice IMO.
