I've been seeing a lot of posts about how Obi Wan is a Gary Stu due to his lack of flaws and that he's flawless. Can you show/prove why Kenobi isn't a gary stu?

this ask is so wild to me. ah yes. obi-wan kenobi. my favorite overpowered male character who wins every fight and can make no mistakes and never has a single problem ever.

#i.......... gksjdhsjdkfhlsjdfw. like how can you even entertain the idea. #he's one of the most human characters to me he struggles and he falls and he climbs back up #just because like.. his flaws don't actively cause the tragedy in his life doesn't mean hes FLAWLESS like what. hello #and that's if you choose the nicest reading of his character like me. if you have a harsher view of him/the jedi the gary stu claim becomes #even more ridiculous like. im losing my mind. #pt obi-wan is a snob kenobi show obi-wan is a pathetic sadguy who thinks he cant help anyone ot obi-wan is Fully and entirely #in the wrong when he tells luke that anakin can't be saved #but whatever. just ignore all the key times he's been actively framed as wrong by the narrative. throw media literacy brain out the window #stars war #idk if you wanted a well thought out argument anon but the prompt is so ridiculous i cant spend actual brain power on it sorry
