It’s this trash/cringe ****ing character getting the best of him, and possibly becoming the real hero in the end, that I take issue with.
And as Superturtle said, it’s more about them blatantly doing it to prop this new character up as opposed to having a good arc for Obi-Wan, you know, the main character of the show.

I think we differ on our definition of what a good arc for Obi-Wan is. His depiction to this point hasn't bothered me at all and it won't bother me if he's further bested by the Third Sister (or any other force-sensitive character) at all. He's not only past his prime at this point, but he's completely out of practice and a shell of what he once was.
While they appear to be elevating the Third Sister character at the same time (for what purpose, it is not yet clear but I've thought it was obvious she was looking to betray Vader from E1), this story is still mostly about bridging the gap between the Obi-Wan character we saw in the Prequels and the one in ANH. This ground should be covered.
