I am still just utterly inconsolable after so much of the first episode is spent establishing that Obi-Wan feels so much grief and pain and loss and guilt about what happened to Anakin, that he still cares about Luke, still watches over him every day, still tries to reach out in small, unnoticeable ways, but Owen notices him anyway, still says, “Like you trained his father?” And Owen’s not wrong to be scared about what can happen, it’s about Obi-Wan being on the planet bringing danger to them, Nari was there for him, but also we have all seen Rebels, we all saw the scene where Haja was helping the family get away from the Empire, Luke was never going to be safe even if Obi-Wan really was dead.  That’s the whole point of Leia being in danger, because the Inquisitors have figured out there’s a connection there, even if they don’t know she’s Force-sensitive, Obi-Wan and Bail know it, and Obi-Wan’s reluctance to help is because he feels like he’ll just fail another child, she’s better off with someone else, and Owen has been reinforcing that for years now, and it’s understandable why but just. Bail Organa coming along and blowing all of that out of the water by asking him for his help, coming all the way to Tatooine because it can only be Obi-Wan Kenobi who helps them, by pleading, “There is no one I trust with my child more than you.” Bail Organa knows most of everything that happened, knows Obi-Wan made mistakes, that they all made mistakes, but he sees beyond that, he sees that it’s time to get the hell over it, he sees that Obi-Wan is still someone who can help people, who is the person Bail most trusts with the child so precious to him, the child that is his entire heart, he trusts no one more than Obi-Wan and I’m just utterly feral about how the entire theme of these two episodes is Obi-Wan learning to open his eyes to the people who trust him, that there are people out there who are helping in the galaxy, that he isn’t limited to small acts of kindness and little gifts, that he can still help people.  That there is still kindness and hope in the galaxy. To have Leia Organa, not just Anakin’s daughter, but more importantly Bail Organa’s daughter say, “If somebody is offering us help, I think we should take it.“ and “Is it that hard to believe you might have friends?” I’m just completely feral about it, that this is something Obi-Wan Kenobi can do and that there are people in this galaxy, people with the biggest hearts you know, who trust him with their lives more than anyone else, trust him with their child’s life because they know him and the good man that he is, no matter how hard he tries to smother it. There is still light in this galaxy, there is still hope in this galaxy, and Obi-Wan Kenobi isn’t just protecting it for the next generation, he is still part of that light.
