Luke Skywalker vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Obi-Wan Kenobi's character arc under Disney was similar to Luke Skywalker's in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but the former was far more effective than the latter. While the Star Wars sequel trilogy had a largely positive reception at the beginning with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the reaction to The Last Jedi was far more divisive, thanks in no small part to the characterization of Luke.

Luke Skywalker Became A Completely Different Character... Offscreen 30 years of character development was condensed into exposition and flashbacks. Close After waiting 34 years to see Luke Skywalker in a starring role again on the big screen, many viewers were shocked by how radically he had changed since his last film appearance.

Obi-Wan's Character Development Happened Onscreen From a stubborn young man in Episode I to a broken Jedi Master in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Close Obi-Wan Kenobi was given a similar character arc to Luke Skywalker, but his development happened onscreen. In Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan is a stubborn, highly orthodox, 25-year-old Padawan, a little older than Luke in Return of the Jedi.

Obi-Wan's Show Did Luke's Last Jedi Story Better An exiled Jedi Master who has left the fight behind Close On top of having a better setup than the sequel trilogy, Obi-Wan Kenobi also executes a better version of Luke Skywalker's arc. Obi-Wan has lost faith in himself and given up on the Jedi, carrying a huge weight on his shoulders everywhere he goes.
