Some neighborhood kids were playing “Star Wars” outside my window and one kid was like, “I’m Kylo Ren!” And a couple girls were like, “Jedi are so much better!” and knocked him over and took his lightsaber/stick, and he said, “You can’t do that! I’m Kylo Ren!!!” And that’s the most Kylo Ren thing I ever heard.
Do you ever think about how Obi Wan was never Chosen?
His entire life was about someone else. He dedicated himself completely to training Anakin, gave up everything to be Luke’s literal guardian angel. Even Qui Gon refused to train him at first, then announced that he’d be taking Anakin as his Padawan in Obi Wan’s place. He never complained, never tried to make it about himself. He did as much to save the galaxy as anyone, but no one ever told him he was special and I don’t think he ever truly realised it.
