it’s so important that they’ve shown how bad obi wan is at being obi wan. he reaches for a blaster first, not his lightsaber. he’s hesitant and doesn’t want to to take a mission bc he’s so frightened of another failure. he’s lost in a monotonous lifestyle and hasn’t used the force in ten years. he’s bad at lying. he’s bad at spinning tales and holding even the simplest of conversations. he sees visions of anakin in the desert and can’t meditate and his hands hurt when he fights. he’s lost to his emotions and is so so unbalanced. he’s still kind and witty and dry humored, but his heart is bleeding. he IS weak, just like vader said. not bc of age but bc of self inflicted wounds. he’s so out of touch with himself, and I’m incredibly thankful we’ve been given this insight into this part of obi wan’s journey
