me watching the ‘secret kenobi child’ tweets pass on my tl and telling myself to keep my mouth shut:
not to be Controversialhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="™️" title="Trade mark sign" aria-label="Emoji: Trade mark sign"> but it’d be good for rey kenobi IF WE’D GOTTEN REY KENOBI but puts a real nasty taste in my mouth otherwise bc of the implications there
&i& #39;m saying this because it does obi-wan &satine both pretty damn dirty if it& #39;s actually canon
you have option a: where satine never tells him about his son, even after him explicitly telling her he would have left the jedi order for her, even as she& #39;s dying in his arms--nothing.
and that option robs obi-wan of being a father by omission--and then has him off on tattooine for years without ever knowing he& #39;s got a child of his own. plus the fact that satine finds out obi-wan would have been there for her and their kid and just. never says a word? :/
or option b: in which obi-wan KNOWS he has a son and just...........willingly chooses to do nothing about it?? tells satine to hide it??? and then even post-66 still fucks off to tattooine to go help watch over ANOTHER MAN& #39;S SON and still totally forgets about his own??
idk man i& #39;d be fine with the first option but even then that& #39;s just sad as fuck :/
&i KNOW this all seems biased coming from someone with my handle but if i didn& #39;t have this display it& #39;d be different.
i might not care much for satine as a character but her relationship with obi-wan and his love for her is such a huge integral part of his character & development
you can& #39;t ignore that. it& #39;s part of who he is, it& #39;s a HUGE part of who he is, and this idea of him having a secret kid is....yeah it& #39;s ~dramatic~ and serves a future narrative (that we never even got) but like...the cost feels higher than it should, here.
