Why do people have a hard time accepting that characters change in Star Wars? Obi-Wan and Luke are understandably not the same people they were at 20 as they are at 60. (No spoilers)

Just a simple post, but after reading some recent posts regarding the Obi-Wan series, I am starting to notice a pattern.The TalkPeople are talking about how Obi-Wan would do this or wouldn't do that. That Disney changed the character. These same accusations were also leveled at the portrayal of Luke in The Last Jedi, but here's the thing. They are taking a snapshot of the character's life and applying it to the whole, but that's not how life works.Trauma, pain, and loss affect people, and in many instances, it changes us. The same should be expected of our fictional heroes. We have no problem seeing this in Anakin. He was changed by the trauma that changed his life. Why so are people surprised when these same elements are stacked on heroes?Luke Skywalkerluke was a young man who saved the galaxy, but since then, his life has been a series of failures and half steps. Understandably, he would not have the same plucky enthusiasm he did earlier in his life. He also sacrificed so much, and still, the first order rose. That has to hurt.Obi-Wan KenobiLikewise, Obi-Wan fails when we find him at the start of the series, he shouldn't feel like the old Obi-Wan because he has been traumatized by the events ten years before. He's not quite the same.Our heroes have to change because we change. It would be weird if Obi-Wan weren't a sad wreck. Just like the soldiers returning from the wars, he was changed by the events of his life. People may not like the series for many reasons, but this should not be the reason. it fits with how humans work and how trauma affects people via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/p1Swusf
